Descrição da oferta de emprego

Senior Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Design - 745 at Quantinuum, US Broomfield, CO (remote). A senior-level full time position in the Quantum Computing Hardware team, listed under hardware engineering.

We are seeking a Senior Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Design at our Broomfield, CO or Albuquerque, New Mexico Location or remote .

Quantinuum believes that employees work better, more efficiently and more collaboratively in close proximity to other employees, where ideas can be exchanged readily, and decisions can be made more quickly for the benefit of the Company and our customers. All employees should work at their assigned location; however, this role may offer the opportunity to work remotely, with approvals.

All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test.

WE VALUE

• Masters Degree in Optics, Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Experience with design-for-manufacturing
• Experience with photonics fabrication processes and metrology
• Experience with materials used in visible photonics circuits and optics
• Experience in product development regarding photonic design, fabrication and/or packaging of PIC systems
• Experience working with cross-disciplinary teams (architecture, physics, fabrication, mechanical engineering, photonics) to develop solutions
• Experience leading and mentoring small teams
• Broad understanding of optical principles and practices and experience applying this knowledge to projects
• Programming experience in Matlab, Python, C
• Experience with testing and data analysis (taking, plotting, analyzing, fitting and interpreting relevant data from optical testing experiments)

Quantinuum is a leading quantum computing company delivering a full stack platform designed to make quantum computing deployable in real-world environments. With active engagements spanning pharmaceuticals, material science, financial services, government, industrial sectors, and leading academic and research institutions worldwide, we are helping organizations unlock the transformative potential of quantum computing.

Responsibilities

• Participate in a team of physicists and optical engineers supporting the development of commercial and research systems for quantum computing
• Design and develop integrated photonic components and systems in novel ways to deliver and manipulate light across the spectrum
• Collaborate across disciplines (architecture, physics, photonics, fabrication, mechanical engineering) to define systems and requirements to support quantum computing and demonstrate systems meeting performance requirements
• Gather technical requirements, turn them into action plans, and ensure the components and systems meet the requirements
• Design novel integrated photonic components to meet challenging specifications
• Layout test PICs and work closely with fabrication and test teams to validate photonic component performance
• Lead and work with PIC development team and external vendors to ensure timely development and delivery of key demonstrators

Requirements

• Masters Degree minimum
• Minimum 6+ years of experience (advanced degree inclusive) with photonic integrated circuits (PIC) design using photonic simulation tools (Lumerical, RSoft, or similar guided mode and FDTD solvers) and layout tools (Klayout, GDSFactory, or similar)
• Minimum 4+ years’ experience (advanced degree inclusive) using and maintaining optical/photonic systems
• Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person. defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status
