About the job
About Quandela:
Quandela is a leading European deep-tech scale-up revolutionizing the field of quantum computing with our innovative modular, scalable, and energy-efficient photonic quantum computers.
Our dynamic team of over 140 professionals designs cutting-edge hardware technologies, from single-photon sources to photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and delivers these solutions through both cloud and on-premise systems.
At the heart of our processors are Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs): compact optical chips that expertly route and manipulate single photons to execute quantum operations efficiently at scale.
About this Position:
Join our Integrated Photonics team based in Massy, where you'll collaborate with senior engineers, PhDs, and research interns in the design, characterization, and packaging of our PICs.
Our team manages the entire design cycle of photonic circuits, from simulation and layout to foundry collaboration and performance assessment. While fabrication is outsourced, we maintain full control over simulation depth, architectural decisions, and design-for-manufacturing strategies.
Your role will involve designing and optimizing key components of our PIC platform, converting system requirements into robust and manufacturable layouts that drive the evolution of our processors. You'll work closely with the characterization team to iteratively improve your designs based on fabrication variability and experimental feedback.
This year is set to be heavily design-focused, emphasizing enhancements in robustness against fabrication variability, increasing integration density, and preparing architectural innovations for future scalable quantum processors.
Why This Role Matters:
Your designs will play a crucial role in shaping the scalability, stability, and performance of the next generation of photonic quantum processors. Your contributions will directly influence how efficiently our circuits scale, their resilience to fabrication variability, and the speed at which research concepts are transformed into dependable hardware.
As Quandela expands, this position will not only help develop components but will also contribute to shaping the design methodologies and standards that will facilitate the creation of larger-scale and fault-tolerant quantum architectures.
