Photonics Data Analysis Engineer - Xanadu - Career Page Skip To Job Description View All Jobs View Our Website Photonics Data Analysis Engineer 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 a Photonics Data Analysis Engineer, you will join our Test and Measurement team to build the software that drives the analysis and measurement of on-chip photonic devices—the foundational building blocks of Xanadu's Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer. This role requires both the ability to interpret physical data as well as strong software engineering skills. We are particularly looking to expand our team's skill set in areas around visualization of physical data and results and automation of analysis. So candidates who possess experience in these areas will be highly valued. However, the full scope of this role can touch everything between the experimental data acquisition and the resulting engineering design decisions. Examples of the work our team engages in include: Applying advanced mathematical, physical, and statistical skills to develop new algorithms and maintain existing ones. Developing and maintaining a data visualization platform that engineers can use to make critical engineering decisions. Assigning credible intervals to derived metrics of the analysis and ascertain what conclusions are able to be drawn from results of analysis. Forecasting uncertainties of proposed experimental designs to measure photonic device performance at bleeding edge precision. Debugging results of analysis at each step in the process - determining if unexpected results are due to software failure, experimental failure or physical properties in the device. While theoretical and experimental experience will be valuable, you should be comfortable working in a primarily software role. Basic
