IC Electronic & Telecom Systems Engineer Fixed-term R&D; project contract (12 - 24 months, with possibility of extension) Full-time – 40 h/week About the project TARRANIX is a cutting-edge R&D; initiative focused on developing next-generation photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for sustainable photonic computing. The project combines nanofabrication, photonic design, computing and photonics within a multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, and material scientists. We are building the electronic layer that interfaces with the Tarranix fully photonic ALU. You will create the ELECTRONIC validation SoC: a small RISC-V–based calculator-style platform that tests and demonstrates our optical gates. This role bridges telecom-grade optoelectronics, IC design, mixed-signal engineering, and FPGA-based control—a core position in shaping the first hybrid photonic processor.




Design the electronic–photonic interface layer (laser/SOA drivers, modulator drivers, TIAs, ADCs, comparators). Build FPGA-based control logic for modulation, timing, and multi-level photonic readout. Integrate an ELECTRONIC RISC-V SoC (peripherals, memory-mapped photonic ALU interface, firmware). Collaborate with photonics, metasurface, and nanofab teams to co-design the integral architecture. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE A working electronics wrapper enabling full optical ALU execution. A functional electronic RISC-V calculator demonstrator powered internally by photonic logic. Opportunities for professional growth and scientific contribution in a pioneering photonics project.
