Jobs at Quandela

Design, implement and train ML and quantum/hybrid ML models to improve calibration, control and error correction for photonic quantum systems. Benchmark classical, quantum and hybrid methods, contribute to the MerLin framework, publish and present research, and mentor junior researchers while shaping the AI research agenda.

Support end-to-end coordination of academic and scientific events, manage logistics and participant communication, act as event contact, and produce clear project materials, reports, and updates. Assist with tracking project actions, maintaining visibility on activities, and improving simple team tools and templates.

Design, develop, and manage electronic boards from requirements through integration, validation, and production transfer. Develop embedded firmware and Python tools, maintain configuration and traceability, define validation strategies, and produce technical documentation to support integration and manufacturing.

Evaluate and adapt advanced fault-tolerant quantum algorithms for Quandela's spin-photonic architecture, perform resource estimation and simulations, collaborate with hardware and FTQC teams, contribute to R&D projects, and communicate results through reports and publications.

Operate as a force-multiplier for the CTO and CSO to align research, product, and engineering. Structure priorities, track program governance, prepare technical briefings, resolve cross-team blockers, and scale processes to ensure execution of the company's scientific and technical strategy.

The role involves leading fault-tolerant quantum computing research, developing quantum error correction protocols, and collaborating with hardware and software teams to enhance scalable quantum systems.

Develop and validate spin-based quantum experiments: design optical spin-photon source experiments, implement optical spin control and readout, measure coherence and entanglement fidelity, collaborate with theory and engineering teams, and translate results into robust building blocks for hybrid quantum computing architectures.

Lead and conduct advanced research in quantum computing and photonic quantum systems, develop novel concepts and translate them into prototypes, publications, and patents. Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary R&D projects, support program proposals and collaborations with government and industry, mentor junior researchers, and contribute to Quandela's U.S. research roadmap and strategic objectives.

Perform hands-on optical characterization of single-photon sources in cavities, optimize excitation and pulse shaping, measure KPIs (lifetime, indistinguishability, brightness, purity, spin), automate instrumentation and data processing with Python, work with cryogenics/vacuum and collaborate with fabrication and production teams to improve procedures and reproducibility.

You will work with lead researchers on developing a module for quantum processing units, enhancing their capabilities in photonic quantum information processing.

The internship focuses on developing quantum algorithms for optimization using a simulator, with an emphasis on advanced training methods and connecting them to Quandela's QAOA framework.

Design and simulate photonic integrated circuit components (waveguides, interferometers, beam splitters, phase shifters), run electromagnetic and thermal simulations, produce manufacturable GDS layouts for tape-out, and iterate designs with characterization feedback to improve robustness against fabrication variability and support scalable quantum processor architectures.

Join Quandela's team to develop fault-tolerant strategies for quantum computing, focusing on quantum error correction and related protocols. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to research publications.

The role involves designing and integrating complex hardware/software systems, coordinating between multiple teams, developing FPGA and firmware solutions, and working with RF systems in a multidisciplinary environment.

The Research Engineer will develop and operate spin-control experiments, optimize system performance, and contribute to the research roadmap in quantum optics and spin manipulation.

Advance fabrication processes and design next-generation single-photon sources (quantum-dot in micropillar cavities). Improve device yield, brightness, and indistinguishability; run electrical/optical characterization; document results, publish/patent, and transfer successful processes to production teams.
