We are looking for an exceptional experimental physicist or engineer to join our Photonics Group and contribute to the development of advanced photonic components for our quantum systems.
This role involves hands-on work across design, fabrication, and experimental characterization of integrated photonic devices, in close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and experimentally characterize advanced photonic devices and systems:
Develop state-of-the-art low-loss photonic interfaces and components
Work on high-performance optical devices for routing, modulation, and control
Build and operate optical setups for precise measurement and performance characterization
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including physics, engineering, and fabrication partners
Contribute to the transition from early-stage prototypes to robust system-level implementations
Requirements
PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field
Strong experimental track record in one or more of:
Silicon photonics or related platforms
Electro-optic or high-speed optical devices
Hands-on experience with optical characterization and lab-based experimentation
Proven ability to drive complex experimental projects independently
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment
Preferred Qualifications
Background in optical cavities, resonators, or cavity QED
Experience with high-speed optical modulation or routing
Familiarity with heterogeneous integration or multi-material photonic platforms
Cleanroom / nanofabrication experience
