Résumé du poste

Quandela, a leader in quantum computing, invites applications for the Source Production team to advance fiber pigtailing of single-photon sources. You will develop, improve and operate precise fiber coupling methods for photonic quantum devices, interacting with fabrication and optical characterization teams.

Join a 140+ person team focused on scalable quantum hardware and software, with a path to impactful contributions across production and research activities.

Qualifications

• PhD or engineering degree in optics, photonics, optomechanics, experimental physics or a related field.
• Strong hands-on experience in optics and optical alignment.
• Experience with fiber coupling, fiber handling or fiber-based optical systems.
• Good understanding of photonic structures and optical components.
• Experience with cryogenic systems or low-temperature optical setups.
• Ability to work with high precision and follow established procedures.
• Good communication and reporting skills.
• Good level of English.

Responsabilités

• Perform high-precision fiber coupling between single-mode fibers and individual micropillars, with alignment precision below 100 nm.
• Work on fiber preparation and assembly steps, including fiber cleaving, fiber gluing, fiber mounting with ferrules and holders.
• Develop and improve methods to evaluate coupling and alignment quality through clear metrics.
• Cool down pigtailed sources and support the validation of the assembled devices.
• Perform optical characterization of quantum emitters using quantum optics techniques, including single-photon detection.
• Contribute to the development of reliable and reproducible production procedures.
• Write systematic reports and share production feedback with other teams.
• Work closely with the fabrication and optical characterization teams.
• Contribute to productivity improvements and risk mitigation in the pigtailing process.
• Simulation experience is a plus.
