- Maintained and improved the IT infrastructure of the company (both hardware and software) - Supported colleagues facing IT issues - Dealt with providers and external entitities linked to products used by the company - Managed the IT inventory keeping track and logging information and data

- As part of the verification team, analysed optical components against compliance criteria. - Collected data and suggested improvements to said designs - Used both commercial software (Lumerical) and in-house infrastructure to simulate the layouts - Maintained and improved in-house code and infrastructure

- Designed optical models and analyzed the results to predict and improve the outcome - Worked on waveguide structures to optimize their behavior and gain a better understanding of the underlying optical phenomena - Summarized and presented data collected to the team to discuss the next steps to take - Utilized a broad range of technical tools on a daily basis. Some of the software used was in-house, maintained and improved by the team
