Photonics Packaging Engineer

We are looking for a Photonics Packaging Engineer. As a Packaging Engineer, you'll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world's best quantum computers to solve the world's most complex problems. In this role, you will support the development and implementation of fiber-packaged integrated photonic devices. You will work closely with a team of scientists and engineers to design, test, and optimize low-loss fiber-chip interfaces and optical packaging processes to facilitate the production of deployable quantum devices at scale.

Responsibilities:

• Perform various fiber coupling measurements to validate device performance
• Develop, optimize and increase the capacity of fiber packaging process with a focus on process yield and throughput
• Work with internal test and measurement teams to benchmark performance of packaged quantum devices in cryogenic environments
• Establish and maintain relationships with external vendors to facilitate scaling of packaging process

You'd be a good fit with:

• Undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, optics or a related field
• 3+ years of industry experience working with active alignment systems, fiber optics and integrated photonic devices
• Hands-on experience performing nanofabrication and optical packaging tasks You'd be a great fit with:
• Dedicated experience with fiber packaging process development, fiber alignment, photonic design and/or optical adhesives
• Experience developing a process on automated assembly systems
• Experience designing, building, and using optical testing infrastructure
• Experience with fabrication processes and design constraints for nanostructures
• Knowledge of cryogenic testing and operation
• Familiarity with nanophotonic device modeling and CAD software is a plus
