Photonics Test Engineer

Required

• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, physics, optical engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years working as a Test Engineer or Photonics Engineer with hands-on responsibility for photonic or semiconductor device testing.
• Demonstrated experience standing up new test infrastructure: specifying, procuring, integrating, and bringing up die-level test stations for photonic or optoelectronic devices.
• Hands-on laboratory skills with fiber optics and free-space optics, including fiber-to-chip and edge/grating coupling, active alignment, lasers, detectors, and optical modulators.
• Strong automation experience and programming in Python; experience programming lab equipment using SCPI, PyVISA, or LabVIEW.
• Knowledge of fundamental electrical, mechanical, and optics concepts, and experience with hardware debugging.
• Hands-on experience integrating photonic or optoelectronic components into larger optical, electro-optical, or laser systems, from assembly and alignment through bring-up and verification.
• Experience writing integration procedures, interface control documents, and system-level test plans, and tracing system performance back to component specifications.
• Strong system-level debugging skills across optical, electrical, mechanical, and software domains.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills, including the ability to explain test procedures and measurement data.
• The individual in this role has a deep interest in developing and commercializing quantum technologies and is a self-starter with previous experience working in a highly collaborative work environment.
