Integrated Photonics Engineer

This project requires at minimum a Master’s degree from an accredited college or university in physics, applied physics, or closely related technical field.  A Post-Doctoral or PhD in physics, applied physics, or closely related field is strongly preferred.

• Expertise in the design and simulation of integrated photonic devices and circuits, with a focus on applications for quantum technologies
• Proven experience with photonic device design software (e.g., Lumerical, COMSOL, ADS, or equivalent)
• Hands-on experience with integrated photonics tape-outs and fabrication processes, including working with photonic foundries
• Strong understanding of quantum optics, quantum information science, and how integrated photonics supports quantum computing, communication, and sensing
• Experience with optical testing and characterization of photonic devices, including techniques such as spectroscopy, microscopy, and interferometry

• Postdoctoral experience in integrated photonics or quantum technologies
• Familiarity with advanced photonic integration platforms (e.g., silicon photonics, heterogeneous integration, and/or nonlinear materials)
• Knowledge of quantum algorithms and protocols relevant to photonic quantum computing and quantum communication
• Experience with machine learning techniques for optimizing photonic designs or quantum systems
• Experience using characterization equipment such as wafer probers and electron scanning microscopes.
