- Define the system specifications which will be then translated into requirements for the design and implementation of the O-band photonic WDM switch architecture and the selection of the hybrid photonic technologies to fabricate the switches.
- Design, simulate, fabricate and test the O-band photonic integrated switches exploiting diverse hybrid photonic technology platforms.
- Packaging and assessing the O-band photonic integrated switches in collaboration with the industrial partners.
- Develop the optoelectronic interfaces and controls to enable remote reconfiguration operation.
- Develop and evaluate fast and efficient scheduling algorithms for fast control and reconfiguration of the optical AI compute clusters.
- Realize a small-scale compute cluster lab testbed to demonstrate and evaluate the performance of the innovative low latency and high capacity optical switched AI computer network architecture empowered by the developed O-band photonic integrated WDM switches and controls.
- Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or in Applied Physics.
- Solid knowledge of optical fiber communications techniques and/or for photonic devices and circuits.
- Knowledge of photonic devices and circuits / integration technologies and software simulation tools for optical fiber communications.
- Knowledge of one or two programming languages e.g. OPNET, OMNET, and VHDL, Verilog HDL FPGA programming are appreciated.
- He/she must be familiar with optical and electronic laboratory measurement equipment, optical fiber system and components, semiconductor devices, and electronic circuits.
- Previous cleanroom experience will be considered an advantage but is not required.
- Proven team-working capabilities and communication skills
