About Adam Scofield
Director of Engineering with deep expertise in silicon photonics and custom integration, leading end-to-end R&D across PIC design, component development, packaging, and photonic systems architecture. My background spans the design and optimization of advanced photonic integrated circuits and including Mux/Demux, MZMs, EAMs, ECLs, SOAs, DFB lasers, and polarization devices, as well as the development of custom materials and for hybrid integration. I bring hands-on experience in all aspects of PIC design and layout, micro-optics for coupling and packaging, thermal and mechanical design for reliability, and system-level architecture for next-generation photonic platforms. At a startup scale, I thrive at bridging cutting-edge R&D with practical engineering execution — driving innovation from concept through design and prototyping to real product performance.
