Integrated photonics and optical measurement define this Senior Photonic Engineer role at Xanadu, focused on experimental validation of complex photonic systems.

As a senior experimentalist, you will characterize photonic integrated chips with high-speed electro-optic elements. The work combines optical laboratory experiments, phase locking, RF electronics, and Python-based data analysis. You will help develop systems for helpful quantum computers.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design and upgrade optical laboratory experiments using continuous-wave and pulsed lasers
- Measure photonic integrated chips with fast electro-optic modulators
- Troubleshoot stability, noise, crosstalk, polarization, and switching performance
- Maintain optical phase locks and develop calibration protocols




- Document specifications, procedures, reports, and operational manuals

Requirements:

- Laboratory proficiency with RF and opto-electronic equipment
- Understanding of phase locking, phase noise, and polarization noise
- Knowledge of RF electronics, detectors, and electro-optic modulators
- Python or similar programming for acquisition and analysis
- Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree in a related field

Apply photonic characterization, optical stabilization, and experimental engineering expertise to Xanadu’s quantum computing work.
