My client is seeking a Photonics Packaging Engineer to support the development and integration of their PICs, for their global-leading, optical communications technology. You will help take devices from laboratory prototypes towards production-ready modules. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer to develop their hands-on packaging experience within a growing photonics team. This is an onsite role, based in Milan.

Job responsibilities Support the packaging and integration of photonic integrated circuits, from prototype development through to product testing

Assist with optical coupling, fibre alignment, attachment and bonding processes

Help develop and improve assembly and packaging processes for manufacturability and scalability

Carry out optical characterisation, testing and basic failure analysis of packaged devices

Analyse experimental results and support improvements to package performance, reliability and yield

Work closely with photonics, electronics and R&D; teams to integrate packaging requirements into product development

Experience required Degree in Photonics,



Optical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Materials Science or a related discipline

Some hands-on experience in photonics engineering, optoelectronics, semiconductor packaging or a related field

Understanding of optical coupling, fibre alignment and attachment techniques

Familiarity with photonic assembly processes and packaging technologies

Basic knowledge of electrical interfaces, RF connectivity or optoelectronic integration

Experience with laboratory testing, optical characterisation or experimental measurements

Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to develop practical engineering solutions

Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary engineering team

Desirable Exposure to optical communications is preferred, but not essential

Exposure to reliability testing, environmental qualification or failure analysis

Experience working with external foundries, assembly houses or substrate suppliers
