Photonics Design Engineer – PIC & Tape-Out (f/m/d)

Your mission

The future of AI computing builds on light. Q.ANT is building photonic processing systems that compute with light – delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and HPC applications.
 
We are looking for a mid-to-senior level engineer to join our team. As the technical owner of PIC design, you will own the end-to-end design and tape-out of integrated photonic circuits – from circuit definition through layout integration, verification, and release. You will ensure every chip is testable, manufacturable, and ready to scale, while directly shaping Q.ANT's photonic technology and product roadmap.


What You Will Do

• Own and drive end-to-end tape-outs: lead circuit coordination, layout integration, DRC sign-off, documentation, and release readiness across multiple concurrent projects
• Act as the primary interface to foundries and external ...
