Concepteur/Conceptrice Photonique & Technologies quantiques (Montréal)
About The Position
Pasqal designs and develops Quantum Processing Units and dedicated software tools. These innovative processors address applications which are out of the reach of the most powerful existing supercomputers, encompassing real-world challenges as well as fundamental science. As they are very low energy intensive, they will significantly contribute to reduce the carbon footprint of the computing industry. Pasqal has partnerships with key users in the fields of energy, IT, finance, drug and chemical design, automotive. The maturity and potential of our technology and the quality of our scientific team has been rewarded several times at French, European and global levels. About Aeponyx Based in Montréal, Aeponyx (www.aeponyx.com) is a leader in the development of silicon nitride integrated photonics devices. Through its patented technology combining microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and silicon photonics, the company designs and manufactures photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for telecommunications, data center, and quantum technology applications. Aeponyx is a Canadian subsidiary of Pasqal SAS (https://www.pasqal.com/fr/), a pioneer in neutral-atom quantum computers. We are looking for a photonics designer to design, develop, and optimize optical systems. You will work closely with our design, microfabrication, electronics, and mechanical teams to design optical systems. The position is based in Montréal, at CEIM.
