Full job description

Description

Photonic is seeking a talented Optical Engineer to support the design and engineering of optical sub-systems that advance our quantum computing roadmap. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent Ph.D. graduate or Postdoctoral Fellow to apply deep technical expertise in a collaborative, fast-paced product development environment.

In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional science and engineering teams to transition optical sub-system designs from research prototypes into reliable, manufacturable solutions. You will contribute to the design, modeling, build, and testing of sub-systems incorporating precision optical sources, single-photon fiber networks, and in-system telemetry within the O-band regime, ensuring alignment with system-level requirements.

You are a hands-on problem solver who thrives in a research-driven environment and is excited to help translate cutting-edge photonics research into scalable quantum technologies.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO

Contribute to optical design and validation flows (tools, modeling approaches, and testing methodologies)
Support the specification and modeling of optical link architectures
Assist in developing fiber-based electro-optical assemblies and sub-systems using state-of-the-art photonic technologies
Perform optical characterization, testing, and data analysis to validate performance against requirements
Track technical performance metrics (e.g., stability, reliability, noise sensitivity, environmental robustness)
Collaborate with integrated photonics and quantum systems teams to ensure cross-functional alignment
Contribute to telemetry and control schemes for monitoring and optimizing optical parameters critical to system performance
Support evaluation of new component technologies and contribute to innovation efforts

WHAT YOU BRING TO OUR TEAM

Ph.D. in Optics, Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field (recent graduates and Postdoctoral Fellows encouraged to apply)
Strong foundation in fiber-based optical systems (C- or O-band experience preferred)
Experience with optical modeling, simulation, and data analysis tools
Hands-on experience with optical test instrumentation and laboratory measurement techniques
Proficiency in Python or other scripting languages for data analysis and automation
Demonstrated ability to translate research concepts into practical experimental or prototype systems
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams

Additional Qualifications

Experience transitioning research systems toward manufacturable or scalable solutions
Familiarity with CAD/modeling tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Lumerical, Altium)
Exposure to intellectual property development or technology commercialization
Experience in a startup or high-growth research environment

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. We are committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences, knowing that these very differences inspire innovation and build better teams. If there are any accommodations our team can make throughout our hiring process, please let us know.
