Photonics Engineer - Experimental Nonlinear Optics

Responsibilities

As part of the Hardware R&D team, you will work with our established team of physicists and engineers to develop nonlinear optical devices on integrated nanophotonic platforms. You will design, build, and operate complex optical experiments, using rigorous data analysis to characterize and optimize scalable quantum light sources for deployment in the world's first photonic quantum computers.

• PhD in physics, engineering, or related discipline.
• Academic and/or industry experience in nonlinear optics and integrated photonics.
• Self-motivated and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

• 3+ years of experience working on nonlinear optics in integrated devices.
• 2+ years of experience working in an industrial setting.
• Demonstration of complex experiments using nonlinear optics.
• Experience with microring resonators, frequency combs, or soliton generation.
• Experience with RF electro-optic tools and techniques (EOMs, IQ modulators, PLLs, PDH, etc).
• Strong understanding of coherent detection (homodyne/heterodyne), phase-sensitive experiments, and shot-noise-limited measurement.
• Strong familiarity with the principles of quantum optics, including squeezing, photon pair generation, and single-photon detection.

Base salary range: ,000 CAD, determined by location, experience, and internal benchmarks. Eligible for equity and other advantages.
