Description

• Design, simulate, and optimize photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for integration into trapped-ion quantum computing systems • Develop integrated photonics designs that improve device performance and insensitivity to fabrication variation • Optimize PIC simulations to minimize computational resources and speed up the design workflow • Use device characterization data as feedback to design and fabrication to improve PIC performance • Contribute to building up the design workflow and maintain high-quality, scalable, well-tested scripts through architecture and code reviews • Effectively self-manage projects, priorities, deadlines, and deliverables • Identify, track, and mitigate execution roadblocks and technical risks • Provide clear, concise communication to management and team members

Requirements

• Ph.D. in engineering or related field • 5+ years of experience in the design and hands-on characterization of PICs and photonic devices • 3+ years of programming experience in a general-purpose programming language (like Python, Matlab, etc.) • Experience with simulations of integrated-photonic devices via Lumerical, COMSOL, Flexcompute, or similar • Experience with scripted mask design and layout for PICs • Experience designing, building, and using optical testing infrastructure, including automated testing systems • Strong data processing, visualization, and organizational skills • Familiarity with fabrication processes and design constraints for PICs •Empathy: you'll work closely with our internal team of physicists and test engineers who depend on the PIC design

Benefits

• pet insurance • legal insurance • home internet stipend • a generous PTO plan • parental/adoption leave • 401K • dental and vision plans • paid holidays
