Overview

Are you a scientist who thrives at the intersection of advanced photonics, nonlinear optics, and cutting‑edge device innovation? This is an opportunity to join a highly collaborative, multi‑disciplinary R&D environment shaping the next generation of waveguide‑based technologies.

We are seeking a Senior Scientist who brings deep technical expertise, creativity, and the drive to push boundaries in optical wave guides, electro‑optic modulation, and nonlinear photonics.

You’re likely a great match if you have:

Qualifications
  • Strong Academic & Research Foundations — Academic pathways (Master’s or PhD) with hands-on research experience are highly relevant
  • PhD preferred — especially in photonics, nonlinear optics, electro‑optic devices, or closely related fields
  • Experience in the modulator space is a significant advantage
  • Includes years spent during graduate research
  • Expertise in wave guides, nonlinear optics, EO modulation, periodic poling, RF photonics, or similar domains
  • Ability to produce clear, defensible, high‑quality technical documentation
  • Experience writing proposals, papers, or reporting on complex experimental results
  • Demonstrated success working with multidisciplinary teams (R&D, engineering, manufacturing, leadership)
  • Natural ability to translate deep technical insights to both experts and non‑experts
  • Independent problem solver with original, creative thinking
  • Self‑motivated, proactive, and excited by innovation
  • Able to lead and influence technical direction within R&D initiatives
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Developing innovative concepts in nonlinear and electro‑optic photonics
  • Leading experimental work on waveguide-based devices
  • Acting as a subject-matter expert and mentor within a growing technical team
  • Producing high‑quality data and technical outputs to drive decision‑making
Why This Role Is Unique
  • Work on advanced photonics innovations with real commercial and scientific impact
  • Join a collaborative R&D culture where your ideas shape next‑generation technology
  • Hybrid/onsite flexibility in a research-driven environment
  • Opportunity to influence both research strategy and technical execution

If you're passionate about pushing the limits of nonlinear optics and waveguide technology — and want to contribute to a world‑class photonics R&D team — this is the role for you.
