Job Summary:Quantum computing promises to solve many important problems that could never be solved on any conventional computer. At PsiQuantum, we're building a general-purpose silicon photonic quantum computer to tackle these problems.
We seek a creative and innovative individual with strong fundamentals in photonic devices and circuits. This role focuses on pushing the boundaries of high-performance integrated photonic circuits. The ideal candidate will be proficient in photonic device and circuit modeling and electromagnetic simulation packages, as well as the layout of photonics circuits, and have excellent software skills for simulation, circuit definition, and data analysis.
Responsibilities:- Data-driven modeling of linear photonic devices at different scales and with diverse methods.
- Design and optimization of photonic circuits.
- Full simulation of complex photonic circuits, including modeling of photon-pair generation through spontaneous four-wave mixing.
- Schematic representation of photonic circuits.
- Coordination of photonic circuits layout.
- Data analysis to evaluate and understand the performance of photonic devices and circuits.
- Collaboration with component design and circuit characterization teams to ensure the validation of photonic circuits.
Experience/Qualifications:- Education: PhD or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or Physics.
- Experience:
- 5 years of relevant work or academic research experience in integrated photonics.
- Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
- In-depth knowledge of photonic devices, including performance metrics and testing techniques.
- Extensive experience with photonic design using commercial software platforms.
- Experience with integrated photonic circuit layout.
- Extensive experience with Python for scientific applications and data manipulation.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
- Experience using the Wolfram Language is a plus.
