Description   Photonic Test Engineers  at Photonic are part of a team to realize first-of-their-kind photonic all-integrated circuits for implementing truly scalable quantum technologies. You will be developing, implementing and testing measurement procedures to characterize quantum emitters embedded in photonic circuits at cryogenic temperatures. As a Photonic Test Engineer, you are a specialist in testing photonic on-chip devices and are familiar with evaluating and improving their performance.

You will work in a diverse, fast-paced, and multi-disciplinary team of engineers, scientists and technicians.
WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO   Develop and implement high-throughput test plans to characterize quantum emitters embedded in active and passive large-scale on-chip silicon photonic circuits – cryogenic and room-temperature
Plan for new measurement concepts and architectures to validate and improve quantum emitter performance
Design and optimise measurement sequences to reduce cycle time and maximise test throughput
Develop and document test and measurement processes and procedures, including developing standard operating procedures
Define test stations that integrate temperature-controlled environments with optical and electrical subsystems in collaboration with Device Engineering
Define automation requirements to improve test station productivity and repeatability, pushing continuous improvement and efficiencies to our systems and processes
Communicate across an interdisciplinary team with varying levels of quantum expertise to translate complex problems to actionable tasks
Define and align acceptance criteria for test stations and methods to be adopted in the test and assembly flow with the Test and Device Engineering teams
Execute cryogenic tests and generate scripts to analyze results, troubleshooting, diagnosing, to meet chip measurement goals
Characterize test station performance and repeatability
WHAT YOU BRING TO OUR TEAM   PhD or Master’s degree in physics, applied physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or other relevant discipline
3+ years of hands-on experience with photonic or quantum devices
Knowledge of and hands-on-experience with integrated photonics and optics
Experience developing automated test and data acquisition scripts (e.g., Python)
Ability to translate research-style experiments into scalable, repeatable engineering processes

Working experience on developing automated data acquisition, test and analysis scripts
Excellent teamwork, interpersonal and written communication skills.
Good organization, problem solving skills.
Attention to detail
An exceptional candidate will bring:
Hands-on experience with quantum emitters
Experience translating research-style systems to standard, productionised processes
Experience analysing large data sets and drawing conclusions on device yield and quality
Broad experimental capability across optics, electronics, and cryogenic systems
Strong understanding of electronics and electromagnetic compatibility
WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH US   Work closely with some of the brightest innovators in quantum technologies to drive breakthroughs that redefine computing
Enjoy a fast-paced and fun environment where you can try new things while solving innovative challenges every day
Inclusive company culture that values collaboration
Regular social events and fun activities keep our global team connected
