Hewlett Packard Labs -- Silicon Photonics Research Scientist (Post-doc)

This role has been designed as ‘’Onsite’ with an expectation that you will primarily work from an HPE office.

Job Description:

The Large-Scale Integrated Photonics (LSIP) Laboratory at Hewlett Packard Labs has an immediate opening for a Post-doctoral researcher with a background in silicon photonic device design, fabrication, and testing. The critical tasks are the design of silicon photonic integrated circuits and devices for edge AI and high-performance computing. Successful candidates will have hands-on experience with device simulations, chip layout, device fabrication, and testing.

Hewlett Packard Labs is an international research organization with its headquarters and largest facility located in Milpitas, California. As the central research organization for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Hewlett Packard Labs’ purpose is to deliver breakthrough technologies and technology advancements that provide a competitive advantage for the company, by investing in fundamental science and technology in areas of interest to HPE and getting the resulting technologies ready for adoption into new and existing markets.

LSIP is a world-renowned research team producing outstanding research in nanophotonics and quantum optics, with recent publications in Nature, Nature Photonics, Physical Review Letters, Optics Letters, and Optics Express. Our program is well-funded internally and has an impressive record of attracting significant government funding. Our team members have enjoyed exceptional success in launching scientific and engineering careers in both industrial and academic settings. In addition, our regular research positions offer competitive salaries and benefits for qualified candidates.

We expect all our researchers (including interns and post-docs) to provide thought leadership and technical influence both internally and externally to HPE, as well as take innovative ideas and make them real - contributing along the full range from initial novel ideas to design, development, implementation, evaluation, and technology transfer. The ideal candidate can thrive in an applied research environment, balancing significant technical and scientific contributions with the ability to bring such contributions to practice through innovative solutions that address the needs of our customers and partners. We expect the successful candidate to collaborate with Hewlett Packard Labs research teams as well as with external partners, and to work in alignment with HPE’s broader innovation community.

We are looking for candidates who have recently completed a PhD degree in physics, applied physics, or electrical engineering, and have demonstrated the potential for high-caliber research, with a good understanding of the current state of the art, major trends and opportunities, and a demonstrated track record in making things real in innovative ways. The ideal candidate combines this interest with a broad, entrepreneurial interest in creating the next generation of HPE’s products and technologies. The ideal candidate will have theoretical and experimental knowledge of Si photonics. Applicants should be comfortable working in a strongly collaborative and multidisciplinary industrial basic research environment.
