Job Schedule: 9/80:Employees work 9 out of every 14 days totaling 80 hours worked and have every other Friday off

Job Description:

Design build and test the photonic devices that enable next-generation sensing and communications. This graduate internship emphasizes experimental work on integrated acousto-optic devices RF/microwave photonics distributed fiber sensing and fiber-optic communications.

Essential Functions:

• Design and execute experiments to characterize photonic devices components and subsystems.
• Develop measurement methods; collect assess and interpret experimental data.
• Evaluate performance such as optical loss coupling bandwidth modulation response linearity noise or environmental sensitivity.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to integrate and validate mature designs at device subsystem and system levels.

Qualifications:

• To be eligible candidates must be pursuing a masters or doctoral degree inOptical Engineering Electrical Engineering Physics Applied Physics Materials Science or a related field.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with waveguide acousto-optic modulators or deflectors SAW/BAW transducers RF-drive integration or acousto-optic mode conversion.
• Experience with programmable RF/microwave photonic circuits tunable delay or true-time-delay microwave photonic filtering frequency conversion or low-phase-noise photonic sources.
• Experience with frequency combs silicon/silicon-nitride/InP/thin-film lithium-niobate PICs photonic packaging or electronic-photonic co-integration.
• Strong foundation in photonics device physics electromagnetics or related analytical methods.
• Experimental research internship laboratory or substantial project experience in at least one of: integrated photonics acousto-optic devices RF/microwave photonics distributed fiber sensing or fiber-optic communications.
