Strategic Brand and Marketing Consultant

Engineer

• Lead the identification and development of integrated InP semiconductor laser and SOA solutions for silicon photonic LiDAR systems.
• Design, simulate, and characterize state-of-the-art narrow-linewidth DFB, DBR, and external-cavity lasers used as LiDAR seed sources.
• Develop high-power, wide-temperature-range SOAs to enable long-range LiDAR operation in industrial and automotive environments.
• Own hands-on design and simulation of laser cavities and epitaxial structures to meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability targets.
• Drive architectural decisions for the light source, advising the broader system and silicon photonics teams on optimal approaches.
• Partner closely with Voyant’s packaging and silicon photonics teams to integrate InP sources into PICs, evaluating coupling efficiency, thermal behavior, yield, and scalability.
• Manage and grow external III-V vendor relationships and supply chain strategy, scaling toward high-volume production (up to millions of die per year).
• Lead in-house and partner-based characterization and validation of light source performance, using data to guide design iterations and next-generation chip architectures.
• Define test strategies, performance metrics, and qualification plans for laser and SOA subsystems.
• Contribute to system-level LiDAR performance trade studies, linking laser and amplifier design choices to range, resolution, and reliability.

Senior Laser Engineer

Hardware Engineer

• Drive mixed-signal ASIC development from concept and architecture through tape-out, silicon bring-up, and production across multiple technology nodes (130 nm and below, including BCD processes).
• Design ultra-low-noise analog front ends, including transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) achieving low pA/√Hz noise performance.
• Develop mixed-signal circuits including amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, clocking, and power management blocks that interface directly with silicon photonic ICs.
• Establish the ASIC development environment: select and deploy EDA tools, define design flows, and set standards for verification and validation.
• Collaborate closely with photonics designers, systems engineers, and FPGA/digital teams to drive tight electronic–photonic co-design and system-level optimization.
• Define overall ASIC architecture and partitioning between custom silicon and external components; make critical decisions on process, IP, and design-for-manufacturing.
• Provide architectural guidance and HDL input to external digital design partners (you will not own advanced-node P&R, but you will define requirements and review implementations).
• Hire and mentor a small, high-caliber team of analog and digital IC designers as the program scales.
