Laurel, Maryland, United States Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) Full time
Technical Position
The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) has an exciting opportunity for an Experimental Photonics Scientist to join its Research and Exploratory Development (RED) Mission Area. This technical position involves working with a talented team of researchers and engineers to develop innovative solutions in integrated photonics.

Primary Responsibilities
The selected candidate will use computational approaches to optimize the design of custom photonic integrated circuits (PICs), collaborating with a team to advance the development of PICs and micro-photonic systems. They will also be responsible for conducting benchtop validation testing of PICs and validation testing of micro-photonic systems for qualified flight/space-flight operation. In addition, they will contribute to the development and maintenance of APL's internal component/sub-system library for fabless PIC manufacturing.

Qualifications
Applicants for this position must hold a Master's degree in Physics or Electrical Engineering and have at least one year of experience building integrated, fiber-optical, and free-space photonics systems. They should also possess working experience with scientific programming tools like MATLAB and Python to analyze the propagation of light in photonics systems. Moreover, they must be able to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance by their start date and meet the requirements for access to classified information. U.S. citizenship is a requirement. Advanced candidates should possess a Ph.D. in a field related to integrated photonics, experience in physics-based modeling of photonic components using various tools, and a consistent record of layout of photonic integrated circuits using script-based layout tools.
