Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.

Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, and literally change the world. The candidate will take advantage of internally developed cloud simulation pipelines to effectively determine novel design strategies. Particular emphasis will be based on the execution of design of experiments (DOEs), while applying design for manufacturing (DFMs) concepts, exploring performance tradeoffs with Xanadu’s 200mm and 300mm fabrication partners.

They will gain experience with state-of-the-art foundry processes, while utilizing scalable analysis pipelines to make decisions and close the design loop. The candidate will need to use their deep understanding of analysis and simulation techniques to create sub milli dB loss components.

Msc or PhD in Engineering, Science, or related field, with 2+ years experience in an industrial setting

Deep experience with scripted photonic mask design





Experience working in a collaborative team-based development environment, preferably using version control systems such as git

Understanding of the concepts of “Design of Experiments” and “Design Centering” applied to wafer level photonic components

Incorporation of fabrication processes effects such as lithographic rounding, OPC/bias correction and material non uniformity into component optimization The base salary range is 120,000 - 170,000 CAD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

They are fundamental and lay the foundation for culture at Xanadu. We are committed to building an inclusive, safe, and equitable culture and fostering an workplace where our employees feel included, valued, and heard. We are committed to meeting the needs of all individuals and support a barrier-free workplace. ai.
