United States Hybrid Full-time

EX Squared is hiring a Photonics Engineer (REmote - US)

About the Role

Jobgether is looking for a Photonics Engineer to work on the photonic circuits that form the backbone of advanced quantum computing systems. You will translate complex thermo-optical device behavior into actionable insights, generating technical reports and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to influence the performance and scalability of photonic ICs.

What You'll Do

  • Analyze test data from thermo-optical devices and generate detailed technical reports summarizing performance, trends, and key metrics.
  • Translate complex device physics into actionable insights to support design iterations and optimization efforts.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including layout engineers, foundry partners, and systems integration groups to ensure smooth design handoffs.
  • Maintain comprehensive technical documentation for photonic circuits for clear communication across diverse technical audiences.
  • Identify performance trends, failure modes, and optimization opportunities to improve device reliability and efficiency.
  • Participate in technical discussions to inform product development decisions and support innovation in photonic systems.

What We're Looking For

  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.
  • 1–4 years of industry experience in photonics or related fields.
  • Strong expertise in thermo-optical design, thermal phase shifters, and integrated photonic circuits.
  • Proficiency in data analysis and technical reporting, preferably using Python and version control tools such as Git/GitLab.
  • Excellent technical writing and communication skills, capable of explaining complex device physics concepts to diverse teams.
  • Experience with silicon photonics processes and understanding device physics from design files and process documentation.
  • Basic knowledge of electrical design principles, particularly Joule heating in resistive elements.
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, startup-like environments and collaborate effectively across teams.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with mechanical design considerations, stress/strain analysis, or suspended micro-scale structures.

Technical Stack

  • Python
  • Git/GitLab

Team & Environment

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including layout engineers, foundry partners, and systems integration groups.

Benefits & Compensation

  • Compensation: $130,000–$145,000 USD (U.S. base) or $150,000–$170,000 USD (Bay Area).
  • Equity opportunities and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Professional development opportunities and collaborative, innovative work environment.
