Advanced Integrated Photonics Designer - 548

Key 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
• Gather technical requirements, turn them into action plans, and ensure the components and systems meet the requirements
• Design and layout integrated photonic components to meet challenging specifications

YOU MUST HAVE:

• Master’s Degree minimum
• Minimum 4+ years of experience (advanced degree inclusive) with photonic integrated circuits (PIC) design using photonic simulation tools (Lumerical, RSoft, or guided mode and FDTD solvers) and layout tools (such as: Klayout, GDSFactory, etc.)
• Minimum 2+ years’ experience (advanced degree inclusive) using and maintaining optical, opto-mechanical and/or 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
• Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.

WE VALUE:

• Ph.D. in Optics, Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field preferred
• 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
• 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)

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
