Test Engineer – Wafer-Level Photonic Testing

About us Scintil Photonics is a fabless company developing and commercializing silicon photonic integrated circuits with integrated lasers for AI datacenters. Based on the company’s disruptive SHIP™ process technology, Scintil enables optical interconnects to achieve low-latency, high-density, power-efficiency and ultra-high-speed. Scintil is an international company headquartered in France, with offices in Canada and the United States. Position overview We are seeking a hands-on, technically driven Test Engineer with a strong background in photonic components and ideally wafer-level testing knowledge. This position requires experience with electronic and optical measurement equipment , and ideally, optoelectronics or laser-based devices . You will play a critical role in characterizing and validating photonic integrated circuits (PICs) at wafer level, working closely with internal teams and external partners to ensure robust, scalable, and high-yield test methodologies. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with early-career or foundational experience in semiconductor and photonic testing to take the next step in a fast-moving, high-impact environment. Key responsibilities Execute wafer-level testing of photonic integrated circuits, including electro-optic and laser-based measurements. Set up, calibrate, and maintain optical, electronic, test equipment (e.g., source meters, optical spectrum analyzers, high-speed oscilloscopes, probe stations). Analyze and document test results, deviations, and trends to support product validation and yield improvement. Collaborate with external foundries, test houses, and equipment vendors to develop and refine wafer test procedures. Support the development of automated test setups and contribute to test software and data processing scripts. Troubleshoot performance issues in devices or test setups involving optical alignment, thermal stability, and electronic interfacing . Work closely with R&D and advanced test engineering teams to implement and optimize innovative photonic test concepts . Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Photonics, or a related field . Hands-on experience in semiconductor testing , preferably wafer-level characterization . Familiarity with photonic devices (modulators, detectors, waveguides, lasers, etc.) and associated measurement principles. Proficiency in using electronic and optical lab instrumentation (e.g., power meters, laser drivers, network analyzers). Strong analytical skills and a structured approach to data analysis and troubleshooting . Comfortable working in a cleanroom or lab environment , handling delicate optical and electronic components. Programming/scripting experience (e.g., Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB) is a plus. Experience in silicon photonics or integrated laser systems is highly desirable. Why join us A front-row seat to breakthrough photonic integration technology. Competitive salary and benefits package. A dynamic, collaborative, and innovative workplace. Opportunities for professional development and international visibility in the photonics ecosystem.
