About this position:
You will join the QPU Prototyping team, which develops and integrates the optical systems at the heart of Quandela's quantum processors, turning advanced R&D experiments into operational hardware.
We are looking for a Senior Optical Systems Engineer to take ownership of a major optical development work package within our next-generation QPU programme.
Your main challenge will be to maximise optical transmission and system performance, from experimental characterisation and precision alignment to qualification and integration. You'll tackle complex optical challenges, defining the right experimental approaches and driving solutions from investigation to validation.
You will also coordinate technical activities involving several engineers and scientists, ensuring the delivery of critical milestones.
This is a predominantly hands-on experimental role, combining deep technical expertise with project ownership.
