PICs@ICFO Strategic Initiative: Engineer or Research Scientist position in control and testing of PIC based devices As part of the

PICs@ICFO Strategic Initiative , ICFO coordinates

PIXEurope, a flagship Pilot Line funded under the

European Chips JU program focused on Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) through which ICFO is advancing frontier technologies, including optical interposers for Co-packaged optics for next-generation optoelectronic and photonic devices.

To strengthen this initiative, ICFO is seeking up to two Engineers or Research Scientists with a background in optical engineering and PIC technologies, particularly in applied or industrial environments.

Position Overview

We offer a project researcher engineer position to a scientist or engineer with experience in photonic integrated circuits (PICs), electronic control systems, software development for test automation, and experimental characterization of photonic devices.

Key Responsibilities

The selected candidate will be expected to:

Perform testing and characterization of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) at both chip and device levels.





Contribute to the fabrication of PICs and their packaging for being able to test them.

Design, develop, and integrate control electronics for photonic devices and technology demonstrators.

Develop and maintain software tools to support the testing, automation, and analysis of chips, devices, and demonstrator systems.

Collaborate with multidisciplinary research and engineering teams to improve testing methodologies and system performance.

This position will report to the

Prof. Dr. Valerio Pruneri, Director of the European Chips JU Pilot Line PIXEurope.

This contract has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe under the Grant Agreement # 101213727, Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) and the Spanish Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service, and is supported by funds from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR).
