About this position
The National University of Singapore (NUS), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is seeking a Research Fellow to lead research in silicon photonics and advanced optical packaging at the Kent Ridge Campus in Singapore.
The role focuses on advanced optical coupling and packaging technologies for silicon photonics, including chip-to-chip and chip-to-fibre optical interconnections. Responsibilities include developing simulation workflows with Zemax OpticStudio, Ansys Lumerical, and COMSOL Multiphysics; designing optical coupling structures; performing Monte Carlo simulations and tolerance analysis; and optimizing fabrication processes using Design for Manufacturability and Design for Testability principles.
The Research Fellow will also develop optical characterization and testing setups, analyze experimental and simulation datasets, undertake light cleanroom fabrication, validate optical coupling schemes, prepare technical publications and reports, mentor junior researchers and graduate students, collaborate with industry partners, and contribute to patents and commercialization activities.
A Ph.D. or equivalent degree in microelectronics, electrical and electronic engineering, information and communication technology, science, physics, or a related discipline is preferred. Relevant experience in cleanroom processing, photonic packaging, optical interconnects, semiconductor packaging, metrology, characterization, or reliability testing is advantageous. The position is offered on a fixed-term contract; no funding or salary details are stated in the announcement.
Applications should be submitted online through the NUS careers portal using Req ID 34843.
