Job description
We are looking for a Senior Mask Design Engineer with deep technical expertise to operate at the interface of technology and customer needs.
Meet the Team
Our Design Enablement team bridges process development, device design, and PIC circuit designers. We provide the tools, methodologies, and services that enable our customers to translate their concepts into manufacturable PICs.

Purpose of the Role
Execute and improve the end-to-end tape-out flow for SMART Photonics' photonic integrated circuit platforms.

You will be responsible to automate, modularize, and harden the scripts and workflows you and your colleagues use every day.
You don't build infrastructure for the team, you build it with the team, raising the automation capability of the entire mask engineering group while keeping your own hands in the tape-out work.
