About SiPhox Health
Wearable and At-Home protein monitoring with silicon photonic chips
About the role
Skills: MATLAB, PythonSiPhox Health is developing a revolutionary home testing platform for biomarkers linked with inflammation, hormones, and metabolic/cardiovascular health. 6 out of 10 Americans have a chronic disease, and our mission is to enable new direct-to-consumer health and wellness paradigms to address this crisis. Our chip-based solution combines biochemistry with state-of-the-art integrated photonics, electronics, and microfluidics.
We are looking for a skilled and motivated Silicon Photonics Engineer to join our team as we scale up and advance the photonics capabilities that power our system.
Key responsibilities:
- Design and verification of novel photonic devices and circuits
- Build and refine experimental setups for effectively coupling light into optical chips
- Conduct detailed optical measurements and functional biosensing experiments to characterize the performance of photonic devices
- Analyze data from wafer and chip characterization to assess and improve device performance
- Document results and clearly present findings and insights to the team
Qualifications and Skills:
- M.S. or Ph.D. in integrated photonics (Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Optics, or related field)
- Experience participating in or leading design/layout/characterization cycles of photonic devices with commercial foundries
- Demonstrated track record of creative multidisciplinary design and hands-on problem solving to bring those designs to fruition
- Expert with photonic characterization tools such as lasers, photodetectors, and data acquisition systems
- Experience in photonics simulation software such as Tidy3D, Lumerical, or COMSOL Multiphysics
- Experience in photonics layout software such as Luceda IPKISS, KLayout, gdsfactory, Cadence, or Synopsys
- Proficient in Python or MATLAB
- Familiarity with one or more is a plus: biosensors, microfluidics, optical chip packaging
Technology
We are developing a new paradigm for consumer health tech wearables by replacing a 100lb optical instrument with an area of silicon smaller than a postage stamp.
