At Q.ANT, we are building photonic processing systems that compute with light—delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and high-performance computing.
As Senior Photonic Integration Engineer, you will drive the full-cycle co-integration of active components—specifically photodiodes, photodetectors, and lasers—into Q.ANT’s Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). Spanning the entire workflow from concept to characterized and validated assemblies, you will leverage deep opto-electronic expertise and microfabrication knowledge (photolithography, etch, deposition) to shape integration requirements and directly influence the fabrication flow. You will bridge PIC design, fabrication, electronics, and packaging to deliver reliable hardware that powers our roadmap.
Your Impact & Responsibilities
- Lead cross-functional projects focused on the hybrid integration of photodiodes, lasers, and active components on PIC platforms (LNOI,InP,SiPh)
- Define, plan, and execute full-cycle integration workflows—from initial design through fabrication, build, characterization, and system bring-up
- Bridge the gap between PIC fabrication flows and active component integration, establishing reproducible, high-yield co-integration processes
- Perform system-level testing and optical alignment, interfacing with electronic teams for signal readout (TIA/driver) and performance evaluation
- Manage cross-functional team efforts,establishing project schedules, risk mitigations, configuration control, and action logs
- Coordinate external suppliers, research partners, and service providers to ensure timely execution against project milestones
- Balance complex optical and electrical trade-offs (responsivity vs. bandwidth vs. noise) tob optimize assembly yield, SNR, and throughput
