Photonics Engineer

QuEra Computing is at the forefront of quantum computing technology, and we're looking for highly motivated and experienced Photonics Engineers to join our team. As a key member of our R&D team, you'll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects and make a significant impact on the development of our technology.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and validate photonic integrated circuits for quantum computing operations

• Contribute to the development of new techniques for controlling and manipulating quantum states using photonics in neutral atom systems

• Collaborate with other engineers and scientists to integrate photonic components into complete quantum computing systems

• Participate in the testing and qualification of the developed systems in the form of documentations or publications

• Keep up-to-date with new developments and technologies in photonics and quantum computing, and incorporate them into our work as appropriate

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field or 4+ years of experience with photonic integrated circuits.

• Strong understanding of optics and photonics and experiment design

• Strong understanding of simulation methods such as FDTD, FEM or similar

• Experience with layout and fabrication constraints of PICs

• Strong hands-on experimentation and optical assembly skills

• Familiarity with packaging and design tradeoffs is a plus

• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work in an interdisciplinary team.
