Palo Alto, United States PsiQuantum Full time

PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world’s first fault tolerant quantum computer capable of tackling today’s most intractable computational challenges to deliver transformative results. We know that means it will need roughly 1 million qubits and will be building scale in size.


Quantum computing is expected to deliver breakthroughs for today’s still impossible computational tasks. By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over even the most powerful of today’s conventional supercomputers offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of applications including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.


PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing. Our architecture is based on photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components using high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that have been applied in telecommunications and data center applications for decades. Since photons don’t feel heat, we can take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems, the kind that have been operating at facilities like Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) since 2018. And because photons are basically light, they can move between subsystems using standard fiber connectivity, without the need for transduction in and out.


Our team is working across the full stack of quantum computing, from quantum architecture to photonic chip manufacturing, advanced opto-electronic packaging, hardware systems design, quantum algorithms and software tools, and cryogenic cooling. We’re a highly motivated and collaborative group focused on a singular goal - building the world’s first Fault Tolerant Quantum Computer on the fastest path possible.


There’s more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey


Job Summary:

As part of the System Build and Validation Team the Optical Systems Manufacturing Development Engineer is responsible for the construction of high performance fiber optic subsystem components including EDFA's, high speed optical timing, and polarization control modules.


Responsibilities:

  • Ownership of the construction of optical fiber subsystems and modules, including electrical/electronic control and mechanical assemblies.
  • Drive assembly protocol and version controlled documentation including the composition and authoring of clear, detailed methodologies for both assembly and test.
  • Management of bill of materials (BOM), documentation and continuous product improvement (CPI).
  • Collection, tracing and analysis of build data including design and component troubleshooting.
  • Work closely with supply chain and vendors, design engineering, and technicians to improve current and future generations of product.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to execute debug tests for software and hardware control systems.


Required Experience:

  • M.S. in Physics, Optical or Electrical Engineering preferred, with 4+ years industry experience.
  • Experience working with fiber lasers and amplifiers, fiber optic components, splice equipment and optimization, fiber routing and equipment maintenance.
  • Experience validating and testing fiber optic components and systems transferring design and development into robust and scalable products.
  • Experience working with optical test equipment including polarization analysis, insertion/return loss, optical backscatter reflectometers (OBR), optical spectrum analyzer (OSA).
  • Python scripting, calling Controls SW APIs / drivers to control lab equipment and proprietary systems.


Preferred Skills & Experience:

  • Expertise with advanced fiber optic technologies such as sensing, timing distribution, clock distribution, optical transmission systems.
  • Knowledge of Si Photonics and fiber to chip optical coupling.
