Senior Engineer, System Calibration (Electro-Optics)

The role

This person will develop system-level calibration strategies for electro-optic components and subsystems. They will work across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries to ensure performance, reliability, and scalability for quantum computing modules.

What you will do

• Consolidate and structure calibration and operational information for electro-optic devices
• Lead system-level calibration risk analysis and mitigation planning
• Develop requirements for hardware, firmware, and software teams
• Optimize calibration strategy against uptime requirements
• Develop modeling and analytical tools for component-level electro-optic calibrations
• Track calibration time estimates and actuals
• Conduct prototyping of calibrations on benchtop setups
• Specify test requirements to validate and de-risk calibrations
• Write control software to implement calibration procedures
• Lead cross-functional working groups and provide debugging support

Required qualifications

• M.S. with 5+ years of industry experience or Ph.D. with 3+ years of industry experience in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline
• Experience developing and integrating complex systems spanning optical and electronic hardware, firmware, software, and data acquisition
• Hands-on experience designing, characterizing, or calibrating electro-optic devices and systems
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear requirements, models, or system frameworks

Nice to have

• Experience with integrated photonics, RF systems, or high-speed optical switching
• Experience developing or scaling calibration procedures in complex experimental or production systems
• Experience with system-level modeling, uptime analysis, or performance optimization
• Track record of leading cross-functional technical efforts or driving alignment across teams
• Experience documenting system architectures, experimental processes, or hardware designs
• Demonstrated interest in quantum computing or related advanced technologies
