About the role

Intel Corporation seeks a Silicon Photonics Design Engineer specializing in active design. You will design, simulate, and optimize photonic components for PICs, contributing to next-generation optical communication systems in data centers and AI applications. Join the Integrated Photonics Solutions team to work across engineering disciplines, lead test chip development, analyze data, and push the boundaries of photonics technology while ensuring manufacturability and reliability.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
