How to get a job working in silicon photonics?

Employers hiring for silicon photonics positions look for candidates with a master’s degree or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, physics, or applied physics. In some cases, employers may consider applicants with a bachelor’s degree and significant experience with technology. In addition to an advanced degree, you also need experience working with a photonic integrated circuit as well as other semiconductors. Other qualifications include familiarity with various programming languages, Design of Experiments (DOE), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) principles. Technical skills are necessary for you to design and test components that ensure each data transfer is effective.
