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 lasers

Measure photonic integrated chips with quick 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.
