Build photonic crystal lasers with us

Semergytech is an early-stage startup commercializing photonic crystal laser technology, especially PCSELs. The technology is based on years of research by professors at the University of Texas at Arlington, Stanford University and elsewhere.

To support PCSEL product development, we're looking for a product development director and highly motivated, highly qualified engineers in design engineering and in process and fabrication engineering.

Because of our current funding program, these positions are open only to US persons: US citizens and US permanent residents.

Open roles

Director of Product Development

1 positionArlington, TX

Lead product development for Semergytech's semiconductor laser and optoelectronics products, from roadmap through execution.

Strong technical skills in semiconductor lasers and/or optoelectronics, photonic crystals or nanophotonics are required.
Industrial and commercial product development and product management experience is required.
Work closely with engineering teams to develop the product roadmap, coordinate with the project team and execute the product development plan.

Apply for this role

IC and systems engineer

1 positionArlington, TX

Design control electronics and integrate analog electronics ICs with photonic crystal lasers and modulators.

Work on the design of control electronics for photonic crystal laser and modulator systems.
Integrate analog electronics ICs with photonic crystal lasers and modulators.
Strong product development experience is highly desired.

PCSEL design engineer

1–2 positionsArlington, TX or remote

Lead the design and modeling of PCSEL devices, and work with the rest of the product team on performance evaluation and improvement.

Strong computational skills with experience in electromagnetics, photonic crystals, metamaterials and related areas are highly desirable.
Knowledge of semiconductors or laser design is a plus.
This position can be remote if you have a very strong, relevant background in electromagnetics theory and modeling, metamaterials or nanophotonics.

Apply for this role

Process and fabrication engineer

1–3 positionsArlington, TX

Work in the cleanroom to fabricate PCSEL devices, from process development through finished parts.

Extensive micro- and nano-fabrication experience in semiconductors, especially compound semiconductors, is needed.
Candidates with industry product development experience are strongly encouraged to apply.
This position is on site in Arlington, Texas, in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.

What the work looks like

You'll have autonomy to lead efforts across the design, development and fabrication of semiconductor laser devices. As a fast-growing company, we expect engineers to be self-sufficient from day one and to solve problems independently.

Alongside design, process and fabrication work, you'll coordinate with other engineers and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver impact.

Where we are

We're in Arlington, Texas, at the heart of the fast-growing Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, home to about 8 million people.
