Devops engineer Jobs in Maple Ridge, BC

Description

Photonic is looking for an experienced Optics Engineer to provide technical leadership for the design and engineering of optical sub-systems that advance Photonic’s quantum computing roadmap.

In this role, you will collaborate across science and engineering teams to move optical sub-system designs from prototype into reliable and manufacturable solutions. Your responsibilities include technical leadership to drive the design, build, and test roadmap of sub-systems containing precision optical sources, single-photon fiber networks, and telemetry for in-system diagnostics in the O-band regime, while ensuring cross-functional alignment of sub-system specifications to the requirements.

This role will advance Photonic’s capabilities in collaboration with strategic suppliers, covering new components, designs, and test and manufacturing methods.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, research-driven environment excited by the challenges of strengthening Photonic’s product development methodologies.

Please include a cover letter with your resume (in one file) describing how you would be a great fit at Photonic and what attributes you could bring to our growing team.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO

• Define optical design and validation flows (tools, methods, testing)
• Lead the specification and modeling of the optical link architecture
• Define and execute roadmap to deliver fiber-based electro-optical assemblies and sub-systems, leveraging state of the art photonic technologies
• Track and meet technical and programmatic requirements (i.e. performance, stability, reliability, noise / environmental sensitivity, uptime, space, cost, schedule, etc.)
• Identify new component technologies and drive innovations where needed to execute roadmap
• Drive delivery cadence in alignment with Photonic’s integrated photonics and quantum systems teams
• Define telemetry and control schemes to monitor and optimize optical parameters that are critical to Photonic’s quantum system performance requirements
