Are you interested in\u00a0developing fast\u00a0photonic integrated circuits\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\u00a0organisations\u00a0in Europe. What unites us are curiosity, a passion for learning, and a purpose: to solve the biggest challenges of our time and turn them into sustainable growth and well-being. Our cross-disciplinary community of over 2000 brilliant minds from 55+ different nationalities\u00a0focuses\u00a0on creating impact through science-based innovation. In recent years, we have created ground-breaking innovations such as the world’s fastest and most\u00a0accurate\u00a0radiation detector, a cancer-sniffing sensor device for smartphones, and a headphone set entirely made of microbial materials. Get to know us further by exploring\u00a0VTT’s tech & infra.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are\u00a0now\u00a0looking for\u00a0a\u00a0Research\u00a0Scientist\u00a0to join our\u00a0Silicon photonics\u00a0team.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a\u00a0Research\u00a0Scientist, you\u00a0will\u00a0develop\u00a0fast photonic integrated\u00a0circuits (PICs)\u00a0and\u00a0their\u00a0use in different applications, such as\u00a0optical interconnects (and networks) in\u00a0data centres, radio-over-fiber\u00a0(RoF), microwave photonics\u00a0(MWP, mainly\u00a0for mobile networks),\u00a0satellite networks,\u00a0free-space optical (FSO) communication, and\u00a0optical interconnects for quantum computers.\u00a0You will contribute to\u00a0multiple\u00a0projects that\u00a0focus on different\u00a0PIC technologies and\u00a0applications, but\u00a0your main research focus will be on\u00a0those that involve the creation,\u00a0manipulation\u00a0and detection\u00a0of\u00a0fast optical\u00a0signals, typically in the GHz range.\u00a0Your\u00a0role will involve at least the design, simulation\u00a0and testing\u00a0for\u00a0PICs\u00a0and PIC-based systems.\u00a0Depending on the applications\u00a0and your own skills,\u00a0you may also get involved in the development of electronics\u00a0and\u00a0software\u00a0for PIC-based systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
