All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test.

Key Responsibilities:

Participate in a team of physicists and optical engineers supporting the development of commercial and research systems for quantum computing
Design and develop integrated photonic components and systems in novel ways to deliver and manipulate light across the spectrum
Collaborate across disciplines (architecture, physics, photonics, fabrication, mechanical engineering) to define systems and requirements to support quantum computing and demonstrate systems meeting performance requirements
Gather technical requirements, turn them into action plans, and ensure the components and systems meet the requirements
Design novel integrated photonic components to meet challenging specifications
Layout test PICs and work closely with fabrication and test teams to validate photonic component performance
Lead and work with PIC development team and external vendors to ensure timely development and delivery of key demonstrators

YOU MUST HAVE:

Masters Degree minimum
Minimum 6+ years of experience (advanced degree inclusive) with photonic integrated circuits (PIC) design using photonic simulation tools (Lumerical, RSoft, or similar guided mode and FDTD solvers) and layout tools (Klayout, GDSFactory, or similar)
Minimum 4+ years’ experience (advanced degree inclusive) using and maintaining optical/photonic systems
Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person. defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status

Experience in product development regarding photonic design, fabrication and/or packaging of PIC systems
Experience working with cross-disciplinary teams (architecture, physics, fabrication, mechanical engineering, photonics) to develop solutions
Experience leading and mentoring small teams
Broad understanding of optical principles and practices and experience applying this knowledge to projects
Programming experience in Matlab, Python, C
Experience with testing and data analysis (taking, plotting, analyzing, fitting and interpreting relevant data from optical testing experiments)

Compensation & Benefits:

The pay range for this role is $148,000 – $185,000 annually. Actual compensation within this range may vary based on the candidate’s skills, educational background, professional experience, and unique qualifications for the role.
