  • Creatively solve system level problems to “make it work”. Examples can include exploring novel tests for debugging, suggesting improvements to hardware and software stack based on System level learnings, supporting troubleshooting efforts across involved teams.
  • Collaborate across diverse teams of technical experts.
  • Contribute to test coverage metrics, quality gates, and release criteria for internal milestones and customer deliveries.
  • Effectively articulate technical challenges and solutions.

WHAT YOU BRING TO OUR TEAM

  • MSc or MEng in physics, engineering, computer science, or equivalent education, with 5+ years of relevant experience in industry. Quantum background is a plus.
  • Excellent coding skills and ability to work in shared code repositories, preferably Python.
  • Experience in handling and controlling highly sensitive and complex lab instrumentation.
  • Experience in implementing automation of measurements and report generation.
  • Systems engineering approach to solving problems in an ambiguous environment.
  • Excellent analytical and debugging skills; you love chasing down hard problems.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to express complex technical concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
  • Demonstrated ability to creatively solve problems, prioritize, and manage multiple priorities.
  • Outstanding teamwork and communication skills to interface with many disciplines.
  • 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.
  • The description above is what we think an ideal candidate would look like for this role. At Photonic, we understand that everyone has a different work and life journey. If you feel your experience is close to what we've described, but you might not meet all the requirements, please still apply! All roles listed are for current vacancies. While artificial intelligence (AI) tools may be used to assist in reviewing applicant profiles, they do not determine candidate outcomes. Our hiring decisions are made by people, not algorithms.
