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.
Gather technical requirements, turn them into action plans, and ensure the components and systems meet those requirements.
Design and layout integrated photonic components to meet challenging specifications.
Required Qualifications
Master’s degree minimum.
Minimum 4+ years of experience (advanced degree inclusive) with photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design using photonic simulation tools (Lumerical, RSoft, or guided‑mode and FDTD solvers) and layout tools (such as Klayout, GDSFactory, etc.).
Minimum 2+ years’ experience (advanced degree inclusive) using and maintaining optical, opto‑mechanical, and/or photonic systems.
Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, green card holder, or holder of asylum or refugee status).

Experience with materials used in visible photonic circuits and optics.
Experience in product development related to photonic design, fabrication, and/or packaging of PIC systems.
Experience working with cross‑disciplinary teams (architecture, physics, fabrication, mechanical engineering, photonics) to develop solutions.
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 (collecting, plotting, fitting, and interpreting relevant data from optical testing experiments).
Compensation & Benefits Salary range: $124,000–$145,000 annually.
Non‑Incentive Eligible.
Competitive salary and innovative, game‑changing work.
Flexible work schedule.
