Job description

Production Technicians in Optical Integration and Test at Photonic own the optical paths that connect our quantum control systems to our qubits, from the fiber array at the chip to the optical control units in the rack. This role is part of the Operations Team and sits at the seam between subsystems, making sure every optical path is qualified, documented, and ready before a system is integrated.

Our control systems include custom optical control units, optical detector readout hardware including SNSPD interfaces, and fiber runs into cryogenic environments. You will qualify fiber arrays, perform optical integration testing across control system units, verify optical paths end to end, and support fast, clean bring-up when a control system is first connected to a cryostat with a chip installed. You will work closely with Hardware Controls Engineering, TPI technicians, the Assembly team, cryogenic technicians, and the Precision Mechanical and Metrology technician who qualifies the stages and mounts your fiber arrays depend on.

This is a permanent, full-time position, on-site at Photonic's Coquitlam, BC facilities.
