Are you interested in\u00a0photonics integration\u00a0and looking for a new job opportunity in the field?\u202fWould you like to develop innovative technology with superb colleagues who are top experts in their field? Do you want\u00a0to\u00a0work at the interface of academy and industry\u00a0using\u00a0state-of-the-art\u00a0research facilities? VTT might be just the place for you.\u202f\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

VTT is one of the leading applied research organisations in Europe. What unites us are curiosity, a passion for learning and a purpose: to solve the biggest challenges of our time\u202fand turn them into sustainable growth and well-being. Our cross-disciplinary community of over 2300 brilliant minds\u00a0is\u00a0focused on creating impact through science-based innovation.\u00a0Get to know us further by exploring\u00a0VTT’s tech & infra.<\/p>\n

We are\u00a0now\u00a0looking for\u00a0a\u00a0Senior Scientist\u00a0to join our\u00a0Silicon photonics\u00a0team.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a\u00a0Senior\u00a0Scientist, you\u00a0will\u00a0broadly\u00a0contribute to\u00a0the\u00a0development\u00a0of our\u00a0optical waveguide technology\u00a0and its use in many different applications.\u00a0Our\u00a0photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology\u00a0covers\u00a0the\u00a0design, fabrication,\u00a0assembly, packaging and\u00a0testing of\u00a0components,\u00a0circuits\u00a0and systems that are based on optical waveguides integrated on\u00a0small silicon chips.\u00a0All these\u00a0development steps can be done at VTT, including\u00a0200 mm wafer processing\u00a0in our\u00a0Micronova\u00a0clean room facility in Espoo,\u00a0although we also collaborate with many other organizations to\u00a0do\u00a0these tasks.\u00a0Depending on your own skills and\u00a0preferences, you can have hands-on contributions in some of the technology development steps. However, your primary role will be\u00a0a project manager\u00a0who\u00a0is\u00a0preparing and leading\u00a0research\u00a0projects\u00a0that are funded by\u00a0VTT,\u00a0various public funding\u00a0organizations\u00a0and our customers.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0Silicon Photonics\u00a0team\u00a0is one of the global pioneers in the development of\u00a0PIC technology.\u00a0We\u00a0mainly focus\u00a0on\u00a0PICs\u00a0that are based on silicon-on-insulator\u00a0(SOI)\u00a0or silicon nitride\u00a0waveguides,\u00a0while\u00a0we\u00a0often hybrid\u00a0integrate\u00a0these with\u00a0other materials\u00a0and PIC technologies.\u00a0Our\u00a03 \u00b5m thick SOI\u00a0waveguides allow to make\u00a0low-loss\u00a0PICs for an extremely wide range of infrared\u00a0wavelengths (1.2 –\u00a04\u00a0\u00b5m), while the\u00a0SiN\u00a0waveguides\u00a0extend the\u00a0feasible\u00a0wavelength range to visible wavelengths.\u00a0Our PIC technology\u00a0can be used in many different applications, such as optical communication, computing,\u00a0sensing\u00a0and imaging.\u00a0It is also linked to\u00a0artificial intelligence and\u00a0quantum\u00a0technologies.\u00a0We believe that PIC technology plays a key role in solving many global challenges\u00a0(climate change,\u00a0healthcare,\u00a0power-efficient digitalization\u00a0etc.),\u00a0while also offering good business opportunities.<\/p>\n
