Photonics Engineer - Experimentalist - Xanadu - Career Page Skip To Job Description View All Jobs View Our Website Photonics Engineer - Experimentalist Toronto, ON, Canada Full Time Hardware Mid Level Share About Xanadu: Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. What we are doing is extremely hard, the classic moon shot. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about! Your role and
responsibilities: As part of the Hardware R&D Team, you will work in a world class team of scientists and engineers to expand our efforts in developing key optical elements required for photonic quantum computing. We are seeking a highly skilled Photonic Engineer - Experimentalist to perform the design, development, and experimental validation of cutting-edge photonic systems, with an emphasis on precision optical control and integrated photonics. Design, build, and characterize pulse shaping systems to meet specified temporal shape and output power
requirements. Implement and maintain optical phase-locked loops and related frequency/phase stabilization. Perform precision optical measurements, troubleshoot and refine opto-electronic systems for stability, noise reduction, and performance optimization. Collaborate with PIC development, electrical, mechanical, and software engineering teams to ensure successful product integration and manufacturability. Generate detailed technical documentation, including design specifications, test procedures, characterization reports, and operational manuals. Basic
