Experimental Physicist/Engineer - Photonics Group

Experimental Physicist/Engineer - Photonics Group Join a team at the forefront of the quantum computing revolution. We are developing a scalable quantum platform that combines atomic physics and integrated photonics to build the future of fault-tolerant computing. If you are an exceptional experimentalist who loves working at the intersection of fundamental science and cutting-edge technology, this is your opportunity to make a real impact. You will work within a fast-growing, multidisciplinary group of world-class physicists and engineers, turning early-stage prototypes into robust, system-level quantum solutions. Responsibilities Design, build, and experimentally characterize advanced photonic devices and systems Develop state-of-the-art low-loss photonic interfaces and components Work on high-performance optical devices for routing, modulation, and control Build and operate optical setups for precise measurement and performance characterization Collaborate with cross-functional teams including physics, engineering, and fabrication partners Contribute to the transition from early-stage prototypes to robust system-level implementations Requirements PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field Strong experimental track record in silicon photonics or related platforms Experience with electro-optic or high-speed optical devices Hands-on experience with optical characterization and lab-based experimentation Proven ability to drive complex experimental projects independently Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment Preferred Qualifications Background in optical cavities, resonators, or cavity QED Experience with high-speed optical modulation or routing Familiarity with heterogeneous integration or multi-material photonic platforms Cleanroom or nanofabrication experience
