Job description

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

WHAT YOU BRING TO OUR TEAM

  • Master’s or Doctoral degree in Optics, Engineering or Engineering Physics
  • Over 15 years of industry experience in sectors such as telecommunications and data centers
  • Proven track record of driving innovation in optical solutions, leading to successful market adoption
  • Experience with development of fiber-based C- or O-band systems from pathfinding through to volume production
  • Experience with test instruments and procedures, and data analysis for characterizing optical performance
  • Proficient with optical design, modeling, and data analysis software
  • Sustained track record in driving innovation in fiber-based optics with results in market adoption
  • Experience in following a project lifecycle, delivering new products on cadence, including requirements, designs, build and test flows
  • Expertise in roadmap definition with stakeholder and supply chain alignment
  • Leadership on design methodology for optical engineering
  • Experience in driving cross-functional collaboration and alignment
  • Excellent technical leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
An exceptional candidate will bring:
  • Familiarity with intellectual property development and technology commercialization
  • Experience in a high-growth or startup environment
  • Proficient with Python or other scripting languages
  • Familiarity with CAD/modeling tools (ex. Solidworks, Lumerical, Altium)

WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH US

  • Work closely with some of the brightest innovators in quantum technologies to drive breakthroughs that redefine computing
  • Enjoy a fast-paced and fun environment where you can try new things while solving innovative challenges every day
  • Inclusive company culture that values collaboration
  • Regular social events and fun activities keep our global team connected
  • Competitive compensation package including base salary, stock options, and relocation assistance for global talent
  • Comprehensive benefits including extended health, dental, life, long term disability, an employee assistance program, parental leave top-ups, and a flexible spending account
