Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Develop firmware and system software controlling silicon photonics hardware. Responsibilities include closed-loop control algorithms, real-time systems, device initialization, calibration, diagnostics, state machines, recovery, updates, manufacturing test, and hardware bring-up. The role interfaces with ASICs, FPGAs, converters, sensors, and board-level electronics while supporting reliability, qualification, and failure analysis. Candidates need strong C/C++, Python, embedded systems, control theory, hardware debugging, communication protocols, and software architecture skills.

Own manufacturing test strategy and scalable production test systems for quantum-computing hardware. Develop fixtures, automated test equipment, software, diagnostics, calibration methods, and test coverage across global manufacturers. Lead deployment, station qualification, operator training, production support, yield analysis, failure investigations, and ramp activities through EVT, DVT, and PVT. Partner with engineering, quality, operations, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to improve coverage, reduce false failures and cycle time, and support commercial-scale production.

Leads firmware architecture and development for quantum computing control systems. Responsibilities include system architecture, component selection, schematic reviews, firmware validation, software interface specifications, technical direction, design reviews, and mentorship across hardware, systems, and software teams.

Designs, models, optimizes, and validates integrated photonic devices and circuits for silicon photonic quantum computing systems. Responsibilities include developing photonic circuit screening plans, analyzing device performance, creating software for photonic design and data analysis, and collaborating with systems, foundry, testing, and cross-functional teams. The role requires strong photonics fundamentals, computational and analytical skills, Python automation experience, and proficiency with commercial photonic and electromagnetic simulation tools.

Designs complex optomechanical and optoelectronic subsystem assemblies for quantum computing systems. Responsibilities include translating requirements into designs, rapid prototyping, owning designs through production, creating process documentation and BOMs, conducting FMEA and risk analyses, performing basic structural and thermal analyses, and maintaining engineering revision control. The role requires collaboration across cryogenics, optics, electronics, and manufacturing teams, with strong emphasis on manufacturability, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and precision design.

Analyze large-scale superconducting nanowire single-photon detector data and film metrology results, apply microscopic superconductivity theory and device models, and design experiments to improve SNSPD materials and performance. Collaborate with materials science, fabrication, testing, and layout teams to support scalable, high-temperature devices and future design tape-outs for fault-tolerant photonic quantum computers.

Build predictive, system-level models of photonic and electronic quantum systems. Translate component nonidealities into quantum performance metrics, develop reduced-order abstractions, validate models against hardware measurements, quantify uncertainty, and drive model closure. Create modular Python simulation software, documented APIs, model libraries, and reproducible workflows. Partner with architecture, validation, design, photonics, electronics, controls, calibration, and systems engineering teams to support trade studies and design decisions.

Design and deliver optomechanical and optoelectronic OCS packages from prototype to production. Lead DFM/DFx, GD&T, tolerance and risk analyses, fixtures and test setups, BOMs, drawings, and supplier documentation. Coordinate with photonics, process, quality, supply chain, and manufacturing partners to ensure manufacturable, verifiable package designs and production readiness.
