Intern, Quantum Photonics Engineer

L3Harris Technologies • Palm Bay, FL

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Help advance quantum sensing, quantum communications, and quantum information processing through rigorous experimental work. This graduate internship combines quantum physics, photonics, precision measurement, and engineering analysis in a hands-on laboratory environment.

Requirements

• Pursuing a master’s or doctoral degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Quantum Science and Engineering, or a related field.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with AMO quantum platforms, including Rydberg-atom sensing, ultracold neutral-atom systems, or entanglement-enabled quantum systems.
• Optical, electronic, RF, timing, or data-acquisition instrumentation experience.
• Python, MATLAB, or comparable data-analysis experience.
• Strong foundation in quantum mechanics, quantum optics, electromagnetics, or closely related analytical methods.
• Experimental research, internship, laboratory, or substantial project experience in quantum optics, quantum sensing, quantum communications, quantum information processing, atomic quantum systems, photonic quantum systems, or precision measurement.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute experiments on quantum photonic devices, components, or system concepts.
• Develop measurement approaches; collect and assess data quality, uncertainty, and observed behavior.
• Apply quantum mechanics, optics, and engineering analysis to interpret results and plan follow-on experiments.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to integrate and validate mature quantum-photonic designs at subsystem and system levels.
