About Xanadu:

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

At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. What we are doing is extremely hard, the classic moon shot. 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. And that is something to be excited about

Your role and responsibilities:

The successful candidate will join the cross-functional Data Analysis team to develop statistical models and measurement strategies that guide photonic component design. Working with photonics designers and experimentalists, you will distinguish measurement uncertainty from fabrication variability and translate experimental data into actionable design decisions.





The ideal candidate is an impact-driven data scientist capable of abstracting complex hardware problems, isolating leading-order effects from secondary issues, and translating those priorities into statistical models. Working closely with photonics designers and experimentalists, you will define the next generation of ultra-low-loss component designs and measurement procedures, directly impacting design optimizations at Xanadu's 200mm and 300mm fabrication partners.

You will:

- Develop statistical models to infer the characteristics of photonic devices from experimental datasets.
- Partner with photonics designers to develop measurement methods and test structures that distinguish competing explanations, reveal systematic errors, and improve parameter-estimation precision.
- Investigate reported uncertainties by finding and quantifying unknown systematics, building models to
