About the Role
The successful candidate will work within the photonic integration team to develop cutting-edge passive and active components used throughout Xanadu's fault tolerant architecture. Emphasis will be placed on the design of nonlinear structures for the generation of highly squeezed, spectrally pure states of light, applying design for manufacturing concepts, and exploring performance tradeoffs with fabrication partners. Gain experience with state-of-the-art foundry processes, utilize scalable simulation and analysis pipelines, and interface with the experimental team. Use deep understanding of integrated nonlinear optics and simulation techniques to create squeezed light sources with sub milli dB components.
Responsibilities
- Develop cutting-edge passive and active components for Xanadu's fault tolerant architecture.
- Design nonlinear structures for the generation of highly squeezed, spectrally pure states of light.
- Apply design for manufacturing (DFM) concepts.
- Explore performance tradeoffs with Xanadu's 200mm and 300mm fabrication partners.
- Gain experience with state-of-the-art foundry processes.
- Utilize scalable simulation and analysis pipelines to predict and verify design performance.
- Interface closely with the experimental team.
- Create squeezed light sources with sub milli dB components using deep understanding of integrated nonlinear optics and simulation techniques.
Requirements
- MSc or PhD in Engineering, Science, or related field.
- 2+ years of experience in an industrial setting.
- Deep expertise in nonlinear optics, specifically regarding third-order nonlinear processes within integrated waveguides.
- Advanced knowledge of quantum optics, particularly for solutions beyond perturbative (low-gain) regimes.
- Expert-level knowledge and experience designing passive integrated optical components including the incorporation of wafer variations.
- Detailed understanding of sources of loss in photonic devices and their relation to fabrication processes.
- Understanding of the tradeoff between different simulation approaches including sources of error and computational resource use.
- Experience working in a collaborative team-based development environment, preferably using version control systems such as git.
- Ability to operate in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple competing priorities.
