Sidney Buchbinder
Sr Engineer, Photonics at Ayar Labs
San Francisco Bay Area United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSidney Buchbinder is a senior photonics engineer with eight years of experience designing and integrating electronic-photonic systems, currently leading photonic design, electro-optic modeling, and system validation at Ayar Labs in the San Francisco Bay Area. He combines analog and digital circuit design, photonic component and layout automation, and top-level chip planning to enable novel photonics applications for mm-wave massive MIMO. His background spans ASIC integration, CAD and design-automation tools for both electrical and optical domains, and hands-on characterization of electro-optic hardware. Trained at Caltech (BS) and pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley, Sidney brings research rigor to product-focused system architecture. He’s equally comfortable writing layout automation and data-analysis code as he is defining system-level tradeoffs, which helps bridge academia-grade innovation with manufacturable engineering.
