Job Mission We are looking to hire a highly motivated, hands-on technical individual to join our CTO Quantum program. The role will help define, develop, and evaluate novel photonic and optical technologies, including metasurface, integrated photonic, and inspection/metrology concepts, that enable scalable quantum systems on advanced substrates. You will connect photonic simulation, layout, fabrication, and measurement data to run feasibility studies, show new capabilities, and support technical decisions as quantum technologies move from lab demonstrations to manufacturable platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Independently execute engineering projects and contribute to research and development of new technologies. Define experiments (including DOE) and determine the type of meaningful data required to support evaluation and technical decisions. Identify and troubleshoot design, process, and measurement problems. Interface with design, process, metrology, and mask teams. Apply advanced principles, theories, and concepts, and contribute to the development of new methods and capabilities. Prepare and deliver technical readouts and share new ideas with the team.

Own electromagnetic simulation of nanophotonic, metasurface, and integrated photonic components, including convergence validation, parameter sweeps, and optical-loss analysis.
Design thin-film optical stacks (e.g., anti-reflection coatings) and evaluate material and geometry tradeoffs.
Translate optimized designs into fabrication-ready GDSII layouts using scripted/parameterized layout generation; run design rule checks and support tape-out verification.
Support mask data preparation and computational lithography activities (OPC/RET, model calibration data, and verification).
Correlate simulation with metrology and optical test data; evaluate process-variation impact and convert results into design and process guidelines.
Build automated Python/MATLAB pipelines for data processing, statistical analysis, and reporting; present simulation, layout, and verification readouts to the team.

Tools & Software Photonics Simulation

Required: FDTD (e.g., Ansys Lumerical FDTD) and RCWA (e.g., RSoft DiffractMOD, S4, or in-house)
Transfer-matrix / thin-film tools (e.g., Essential Macleod, TFCalc, or custom code)
Preferred: Lumerical MODE/CHARGE, COMSOL Multiphysics, or RF/electro-optic solvers

Layout / Mask Data

Required: GDSII/OASIS layout and scripting (e.g., KLayout, gdsfactory/gdstk)
Preferred: Cadence Virtuoso; Siemens Calibre or Synopsys tools for DRC, OPC/RET, and MDP

Data Processing

Python (NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib), MATLAB, Linux/scripting

Functional Knowledge Demonstrates conceptual and practical expertise in own discipline and basic knowledge of related disciplines. Business Expertise Has knowledge of best practices and how own area integrates with others; is aware of the competition and the factors that differentiate them in the market. Leadership Acts as a resource for colleagues with less experience; may lead small projects with manageable risks and resource requirements. Problem Solving Solves complex problems; takes a new perspective on existing solutions; exercises judgment based on the analysis of multiple sources of information. Impact Impacts a range of project activities within own team and other related teams; works within broad guidelines and policies. Interpersonal Skills Explains difficult or sensitive information; works to build consensus.

Strong problem solving and creative thinking skills
Solid foundation in optics/photonics, electromagnetics, and semiconductor processing
Quick learner, comfortable with both computational and hands-on lab work
Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Qualifications

Education: Ph.D. in Applied Physics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optics/Photonics, Materials Science and Engineering, or equivalent (completed by start date). Years of Experience: 0–2 years post-Ph.D.; relevant industry internship experience is a plus. Required

Ph.D. research in nanophotonic, metasurface, or integrated photonic device simulation and design
Hands-on experience with FDTD and/or RCWA simulation
Programming skills (Python and/or MATLAB) for simulation automation and quantitative data analysis
Familiarity with GDS layout generation and scripting

Preferred

Cleanroom fabrication experience (e.g., e-beam lithography, dry etch)
Optical characterization and measurement-system experience
Experience with OPC/RET, mask data preparation, or DRC rule decks

Experience with active/passive PIC devices, wafer-level metrology, or quantum-technology
