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 useful quantum computers.Key Responsibilities:

Design and upgrade optical laboratory experiments using continuous-wave and pulsed lasersMeasure photonic integrated chips with rapid electro-optic modulatorsTroubleshoot stability, noise, crosstalk, polarization,



and switching performanceMaintain optical phase locks and develop calibration protocolsDocument specifications, procedures, reports, and operational manualsRequirements:

Laboratory proficiency with RF and opto-electronic equipmentUnderstanding of phase locking, phase noise, and polarization noiseKnowledge of RF electronics, detectors, and electro-optic modulatorsPython or similar programming for acquisition and analysisMaster of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree in a related fieldApply photonic characterization, optical stabilization, and experimental engineering expertise to Xanadu’s quantum computing work.
