About the role
- These modules and subsystems require regular calibration to ensure reliable generation of single photons and entangled states that underpin our quantum computing architecture.
- This role has direct influence on how calibration is architected as a scalable system function.
- It shapes how electro-optic subsystems behave in production environments where uptime, automation, and repeatability are critical.
Responsibilities
- Lead system-level calibration risk analysis and mitigation planning across hardware, firmware, and software interfaces
- Develop requirements for hardware, firmware, and software teams to meet uptime and performance targets
- Own and optimize calibration strategy against uptime requirements
- Develop modeling and analytical tools to understand how component-level electro-optic calibrations behave and interact when integrated into the full system
- Specify test requirements to validate and de-risk calibrations at various levels of integration testing
- Write control software to implement calibration procedures in our software stack
- Lead ad-hoc cross-functional working groups to collaboratively develop and refine high-risk calibrations
Requirements
- M.S. with 5+ years of industry experience or Ph.D. with 3+ years of industry experience in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline
- Hands-on experience designing, characterizing, or calibrating electro-optic devices and systems
- Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear requirements, models, or system frameworks
- Experience developing and integrating complex systems spanning optical and electronic hardware, firmware, software, and data acquisition, including cross-functional collaboration
- Experience developing and integrating complex systems across optical/electronic hardware, firmware, and software, including cross-functional collaboration
Nice to have
- Experience with integrated photonics, RF systems, or high-speed optical switching
- Experience with system-level modeling, uptime analysis, or performance optimization
- Track record of leading cross-functional technical efforts or driving alignment across teams
- Demonstrated interest in quantum computing or related advanced technologies
