We challenge ourselves to stay on top of state-of-the-art technology by building demonstrators and explore new use cases with internal and external stakeholders.\nWithin the photonic device domain, we are developing innovative optical technologies that enable next-generation visual experiences, optical communications, and sensing. By leveraging spatial optics, waveguide systems, and their fusion, our devices serve as core technologies - the “heart” of advanced systems - forming strong intellectual property and delivering new value to users while contributing to the evolution of social infrastructure. Our proprietary Light Steering technology allows for precise control of light, unlocking new possibilities across immersive imaging, high-density DWDM networks, and energy-efficient optical switching for data centers.\nKey Responsibilities:\nA practical and outcome-oriented researcher who strives to deeply understand theoretical principles and translate them into innovative applications for next-generation devices.\nBy leveraging state-of-the-art EDA tools and employing highly efficient and precise design methodologies, you minimize the number of prototyping iterations required for semiconductor chips.\nStay up to date with the new academic and commercial developments and trends in your technology domain.\nShare and interact around these insights with your peers.\nCollaborate with your peers, internal stakeholders and potentially external partners to develop and demonstrate innovative photonic devices.\nOther tasks assigned by the reporting manager.\nQualifications & Experiences:\n Language skills: native or business-fluent Japanese is required.\nAn expert with a bachelor or master in electronic engineering, or an equivalent field. PhD (or equivalent by experience) is a definite plus.\nExperience in designing semiconductor devices, particularly CMOS circuits.\nMinimum 5+ years experience in one or more of the following:Design of CMOS analog and digital circuits (pixel circuits, AD/DA converters, PLLs, high-speed interfaces, and various logic circuits).\n\nDevelopment of imaging, display, or optical communication devices.\n\nDesign of device driver circuits (FPGA-based systems using Xilinx, Intel, or Lattice, high-speed signal processing, timing control).\n\nHands-on experience with EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor\nCompetencies:\nCMOS Image Sensors: design of high-sensitivity and high-speed sensors; experience with pixel, ADC, and timing control; integration with optical systems.\nMEMS Devices: design of mirrors and sensors; experience with electrostatic and magnetic actuation; process development.\nLiquid Crystal Devices: backplane (either silicon-based or TFT-based) design, LC cell design, driving circuit development, and optical evaluation.\nSilicon Photonics: experience in designing waveguides, modulators, and photodetectors; familiarity with optical EDA tools.\nSemiconductor Processes: development and evaluation of SOI, CMOS, and MEMS processes; experience with wafer-level implementation.\nHas a hands-on innovation and can-do mindset.\nEntrepreneurial research mindset: from ideation with end-users, through high-precision prototyping to finalizing the design.\nWorks thoroughly and can work independently and with great perseverance towards a result that meets the requirements and constraints.\nPro-active, takes initiative and shows end-to-end problem ownership.\nA loyal team player with good communication skills and willing to travel on occasion.\nWhat’s in it for you?\nDrive innovation by exploring new core technologies and developing novel photonic devices.\nWork for a global technology top employer.\nEnjoy the comfort of our brand-new office and laboratory.\nEnjoy a competitive salary package","description_format":"text","description_chars":3939,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Japanese","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-11T19:19:09Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":85,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.848,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/barco-engineer-electronics-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/barco-engineer-electronics-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T02:11:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3181,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1769262},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1769262"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbarco-engineer-electronics-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbarco-engineer-electronics-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbarco-engineer-electronics-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/barco-engineer-electronics-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbarco-engineer-electronics-2"}]}
