Huawei Technologies Research & Development Belgium NV is a center of excellence for silicon photonics design and processing. Initially called Caliopa, it was created as a spin-off from the University of Gent and Imec in 2010 but was acquired by Huawei in 2013. Huawei is one of the largest telecom solution providers worldwide and uses approximately one sixth of all photonics components produced in the world. In addition to classical telecom scenarios, the breakthrough of AI has led to a surge in demand for components as well as the need for cointegration of electronics and photonics. Furthermore, tomorrow’s solutions need to achieve higher bandwidths per channel to keep up with the growing bandwidth density demand.Huawei aims to address these challenges by investing aggressively in silicon photonics research and development and implementing solutions based on this technology. Huawei R&D Belgium Caliopa team is at the heart of this research and development. The group is located in Gent, a vibrant city in Belgium in the heart of Europe.To strengthen our team, we are now looking for an experienced RF Design Engineer to lead the RF design of high-speed modulators.Job responsibilities:
Work as part of a team of photonic design engineers dedicated to develop Huawei’s silicon photonics platform
Develop high-speed modulators, with a focus on the RF design in traveling-wave modulator designs, including traveling line, Balun, biasing and termination circuit design
Evaluate modulators on different material systems which use various physical effects, including the use of Pockel’s effect, plasma dispersion effect, etc.
Develop new equalization techniques to enhance device bandwidth or to engineer the dispersion
Interface with driver team to enable tailored solution
Lead the characterization of high-speed modulators and work closely with the test team
Design and validate photonic components, subsystems and circuits
Define test plans and analyze experimental data in R&D phase
Work closely with component/module teams
