Join Us at the Forefront of Quantum Computing Innovation 🚀 About this position: We are looking for a R&D Engineer - Optical Systems & Single-Photon Source Lithography to support the development of novel designs of Single Photon Sources (SPS) for Quandela’s SPS R&D department. This position combines advanced optical experiments, hands-on R&D, and manufacturing engineering. The SPSL Engineer will play a key role in the fabrication of new designs of SPSs, that will be further tested by colleagues on characterization testbenches. The role will have a strong focus on in-situ localization of quantum dots (QDs) at cryogenic temperatures and lithography over the localized QDs with laser writing techniques. The successful candidate will work closely with our SPS R&D team, SPS production team, fabrication engineers, equipment owners, and cleanroom operators to improve performance of the SPSs and successfully transfer R&D advances to our production mainline. This is a highly hands-on position requiring a strong understanding of optics and s
