About the role

We are looking for an exceptional experimental physicist or engineer to join our Photonics Group and contribute to the development of advanced photonic components for our quantum systems.
This role involves hands-on work across design, fabrication, and experimental characterization of integrated photonic devices, in close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
  • 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
  • PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field
  • Strong experimental track record in one or more of:
    • Silicon photonics or related platforms
    • 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 / nanofabrication experience
