Teams at Great Sky

Design and optimize active and passive photonic components and detector-integrated circuits for cryogenic platforms. Responsibilities include electromagnetic simulation, photonic layout, DRC verification, foundry tapeouts, PDK and component-library development, and collaboration with test, packaging, and systems teams to validate cryogenic performance.

Develops cryogenic photonic and superconducting device fabrication processes from design through prototype production. Responsibilities include cleanroom fabrication, lithography, thin-film deposition, etching, planarization, metrology, yield analysis, root-cause investigation, SOP and process documentation, PDK maintenance, and collaboration with design, test, packaging, and integration teams.

Develops automated optical, electrical, and optoelectronic test infrastructure for integrated photonic devices. Responsibilities include designing measurement setups, characterizing passive and active photonic components, automating fiber coupling and alignment, processing test data, documenting methods, and collaborating with hardware teams. The role requires Python proficiency, photonic integrated circuit characterization experience, laser physics knowledge, and hands-on optical testing expertise.
