Build FTQC hardware through optics, Python automation, and system integration at Xanadu. Work hands-on in a laboratory workplace solving optical performance challenges.

As a Photonics Engineer, you will support Xanadu’s Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing systems. You will bridge empirical laboratory data with predictive models guiding the hardware roadmap. The work covers phase and polarization locking technologies, characterization, modeling, and device optimization.

Key Responsibilities: Plan and execute phase and polarization actuation experiments

Automate laboratory testing using custom Python scripts

Characterize and benchmark incoming hardware independently

Translate data into optimized device designs

Model optical loss and system performance

Requirements: Optics experience building and troubleshooting laboratory experiments

Production-ready product development experience

Mathematical modeling using analytical and numerical tools

Understanding of thermal management and vibration dynamics

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a related discipline

Apply photonics, modeling, Python, and experimental skills to advance Xanadu’s fault-tolerant quantum computing hardware systems.
