Sr PIC Product Engineer
About The Position
Quantum computing promises to solve many important problems that could never be solved on any conventional computer. At PsiQuantum, we’re building a general purpose silicon photonic quantum computer to tackle these very problems. We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Photonic Integrated Circuit Product Engineer to lead the integration of advanced Photonic circuits and subsystems for our linear optical quantum computer (LOQC). This role is critical to ensure that silicon photonic circuits meet stringent performance requirements at the system level. As a key contributor, you will collaborate across design, test, systems, and manufacturing teams to derive performance metrics, align calibration strategies, and analyze data across multiple hardware levels. You will play a central role in root-cause analysis, quality evaluations, and performance improvement of photonic hardware. Your work will directly inform PIC design and process by refining the requirements. We’re looking for an out-of-the-box thinker with a strong foundation in optics, materials science, electromagnetics, and nanofabrication—someone who thrives in multidisciplinary environments and is driven to push the boundaries of integrated photonics.
Requirements
- S. degree + 5+ years' experience or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, or Physics + 3+ years' experience in photonic integration and manufacturing
- Experience with active and passive silicon-photonics. Working knowledge of device fabrication and materials is desirable.
- Working knowledge photonic test methods
- Ability to perform data and statistical analysis and present data and ideas to a diverse audience
- Team-oriented with the ability to work cross-functionally
- Excellent verbal and written communication skill
Responsibilities
- Ensure that silicon photonic circuits performance requirements are met at subassembly and system levels
- Interact with design, test, system, and manufacturing to define performance screens and calibration methods
- Perform statistical data analysis across different hardware levels to characterize and improve performance
- Support FA, quality analysis and evaluation of development, proto, and pilot units
- Drive PIC and subassembly specifications and improvements in product performance during the pilot ramp
