Photonic Design Engineer at PsiQuantum

The role

Join the Circuit Team at PsiQuantum to expand design, validation, and data analysis capabilities for silicon photonics. You will play a technical role in developing integrated photodetectors and supporting large-scale PIC development for fault-tolerant quantum systems.

What you'll do

• Perform PIC wafer-level data and yield analysis
• Design and model integrated photonic components
• Execute circuit level simulation and layout tasks
• Validate packaged PICs through cross-functional collaboration
• Lead photodetector development from design to qualification
• Support wafer screening and system-level validation activities

What you'll bring

• PhD in Electrical Engineering or MS with industry experience
• Expertise in integrated photonics device physics and modeling
• Proficiency with Lumerical MODE, FDTD, and Interconnect tools
• Strong Python programming and data visualization skills
• Experience with PIC layout and foundry tape-out processes

Your impact

You will accelerate the development of utility-scale quantum computers by enhancing the performance and reliability of photonic integrated circuits. Your work on integrated photodetectors will be critical to achieving the scale and precision required for fault-tolerant quantum systems.
