At Zero Point Motion, we build photonic integrated circuits that are not just impressive - but production-ready at scale.

This role exists to design, simulate, tape-out, and mature PICs (and associated lasers and photodetectors), closing the loop between theory, simulation, and large-scale experimental data.

This is not a “paper PIC” role.

It is about making photonics inevitable in real products.

The Role

As a Photonics Design & Simulation Engineer, you own PIC design from first principles through tape-out and data-driven refinement.

You will work in a highly automated test environment where data is abundant.

Your job is to:

• design quickly

• simulate intelligently

• and update models ruthlessly based on measurement

Iteration speed and convergence matter more than elegant one-off designs.

What You’ll Do

Design, layout & simulation
