Quantum Optics Engineer

You will be responsible for producing our quantum devices, which include not just assembling the devices but bringing the devices to a fully functional state, ready to ship to the customer. You’ll be characterizing individual optical components – often at the quantum level – and integrating them into complex setups, requiring full system characterization. Think of basic scripting for running long-term measurement setups (programmatically and automatically). You’ll be responsible for learning the assembly process, characterization steps, and configuration possibilities. Once you’ve built expertise, you’ll have some ownership of improving these processes.

Your role also entails on-site customer work – i.e., travel. Once comfortable with all the complexities of quantum network devices, you’ll be responsible for on-site installations and the deployment and configuration of the quantum network. These locations may include secure data centers, backbone telecom facilities, government installations, etc.

As our quantum devices are installed around the world, you’ll use your particular expertise to assist the team in diagnostics of issues, and potentially field servicing of technical equipment. Be ready to travel – maybe to the far corners of the world – for field service visits, installations, and training.

Your role also entails supporting existing customers. Being able to collaborate with customers’ staff and supporting them in their use cases is important. That means being comfortable communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You need to be comfortable with customer-facing activities and communicate in a professional manner.
