Danmarks Tekniske Universitet

Job description

Job Description:We are looking for a key team member for our work on low loss active photonic integrated circuits. We will explore some new ideas to functionalize low loss SiNx by microtransfer printing and make more efficient, lower noise and higher power PICs. You will get to work in our large cleanroom mostly on III-V compound semiconductors and be part of a strong team.Responsibilities and tasks
You will be expected to

• Fabricate novel SOA coupons for microtransfer printing including some process development.
• Develop microtransfer printing to SiNx (and SiC) circuits.
• Characterize test- and device-structures.
• Demonstrate more complex lasers and circuits in collaboration with others.

Qualifications

• Background in integrated optics and nanofabrication.
• Familiarity with micro-transfer printing or related nanofabrication techniques (e.g. MEMS, compound semiconductors, e-beam lithography, MOVPE…) is highly desirable.
• Strong problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and a passion for pushing the boundaries of technology.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a collaborative research environment.

As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).We offer
