Lead hands-on photonic experimentation focused on homodyne detection, optical measurements, and integrated optical systems. Work spans laboratory validation and precision signal analysis.
This Senior Photonic Engineer will design, develop, and experimentally validate integrated optical systems for next-generation computing applications. The work combines optical laboratory experiments, photonic integrated circuit characterisation, electronic control systems, and advanced signal processing. You will collaborate with photonic design, electrical, mechanical, and software engineering teams to support system integration.
Key Responsibilities: Design and upgrade experiments using continuous-wave and pulsed lasers
Characterise balanced homodyne detectors for pulsed optical signals
Analyse detection efficiency, noise, bandwidth, rejection, and crosstalk




Develop signal processing for homodyne detection and tomography
Implement phase-locking, calibration, and frequency stabilisation systems
Requirements: PhD in quantum optics, photonics, AMO, electrical engineering, or related field
Hands-on optics laboratory experience with integrated and fibre optics
Experience with interferometer locking and noise characterisation
Direct experience with homodyne detection of optical signals
Familiarity with detectors, amplifiers, RF electronics, and modulators
Apply photonic experimentation, homodyne detection, and signal processing expertise to integrated optical system validation.
