Quantinuum, Broomfield, Colorado, United States, 80020
Senior Advanced Photonics Scientist - 510
Location: Broomfield, CO or Albuquerque, New Mexico
Base pay range: $140,000.00/yr - $175,000.00/yr
Overview We are seeking a Senior Advanced Photonics Scientist to join a team of physicists and optical engineers supporting the development of commercial and research systems for quantum computing.
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
Requirements YOU MUST HAVE
PhD Degree minimum (in Optics, Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field)
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 (U.S. citizen, permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status)
Due to national security requirements, candidates for this position must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen
WE VALUE
Experience with design-for-manufacturing
Experience with photonics fabrication processes and metrology
Experience with materials used in visible photonics circuits and optics
Experience in product development regarding photonic design, fabrication and/or packaging of PIC systems
Experience working with cross-disciplinary teams to develop solutions
Experience leading and mentoring small teams
Broad understanding of optical principles and practices
Programming experience in Matlab, Python, C
Experience with testing and data analysis from optical testing experiments
Quantinuum is the world’s largest integrated quantum company, driving breakthroughs in materials discovery, cybersecurity, and next-generation quantum AI. We are committed to equal opportunity in employment.
Compensation & Benefits Compensation and benefits are competitive and include employer-subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with match, equity, paid holidays, generous vacation and sick time, paid parental leave, and employee discounts.
