About Xanadu:
Xanadus mission is to build useful quantum computers. We are a team of learners innovators and problem solvers creating technology that has never been built before. Few people get to be a part of something like thisa journey where success can lead to solving some of the worlds most challenging problems and fundamentally changing the world
Your role and responsibilities:
As a Photonics Test Engineer you will join our Test and Measurement team to build the software that drives the analysis and measurement of on-chip photonic devicesthe foundational building blocks of Xanadus Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer. This role requires an equal balance of hands-on experience in a photonics lab and strong software engineering skills.
You will collaborate closely with physicists and engineers to develop the workflows models and algorithms they use to analyze complex data. You will also interface with our data engineers to ensure data integrity throughout the analysis pipeline. Your enthusiasm for software best practices and clean code will be crucial as the reliability and maintainability of our code directly impacts critical design decisions. Duties may include:
- Develop and maintain robust trustworthy analysis pipelines for photonic device data.
- Work with hardware engineers and physicists to apply software best practices to their data analysis.
- Use your mathematical physical and statistical skills to develop new algorithms and improve existing ones.
- Perform data analysis and interpret experimental data.
- Collaborate with data engineers to manage data sourcing and maintain data integrity.
- Support our hardware team and physicists in using the tools you develop.
- Versatile candidates may have the opportunity to expand into test engineering and test automation roles.
Basic qualifications and experience:
This role requires a unique combination of strong physical intuition and strong software engineering skills. We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate proficiency in at least one of two ways:
- Hands-on Photonics Experience: You have 1 years of experience working in a laboratory environment with optical and/or semiconductor testing including data collection and analysis.
- Software Engineering Experience: You have 1 years of experience in a professional software development environment with a proven track record of building robust data analysis tools.
Regardless of experience profile candidates should have the following skills:
- Strong programming skills:
- Proficiency in Python and experience with data analysis libraries such as NumPy SciPy and pandas.
- Experience with Git and the pull request workflow.
- Demonstrable understanding of software design principles.
- Photonics knowledge:
- Strong foundational understanding of photonics optical physics quantum physics or related fields.
- Education:
- Bachelors degree in Engineering Physics or a related field.
Preferred qualifications and experience:
- Masters or PhD degree in Engineering Physics or a related field.
- Understanding of the full software development lifecycle including version control code review testing continuous integration logging and documentation.
- Strong statistical or mathematical intuition with an understanding of concepts like overfitting underfitting and the propagation of uncertainty.
- Experience with Bayesian methods or optimization methods in data analysis.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced research environment.
