Quantum Laser Systems Specialist
On-siteBirkerød, Capital Region, Denmark
Job Summary
Capture requirements from customers in quantum computing and sensing, then translate this understanding into complex fiber laser systems for light generation, processing, and delivery. Lead development, assembly, and testing of custom laser system products and prototypes based on ultra-stable fiber lasers. Own several laser projects, ensuring manufacturability and production scalability while delivering robust solutions from requirement capture to deployment. Support electronics control systems development and invent new technology within fiber-based optics to contribute to IP generation. Work within a multi-disciplinary team interfacing with sales, support, purchasing, and manufacturing to ensure successful transfer of designs to production.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum of a Master's degree in science or engineering, preferably within a photonics research environment (ideally PhD level education)
- Multiple years of experience in photonics-based quantum computing or sensing applications, ideally in an industrial setting (e.g., ion trapping, neutral atoms, photonic quantum computing, atom interferometry or similar)
- Proven ability to translate quantum application requirements into laser system specifications
- Deep understanding of the fundamental physics and technology around: Lasers
- Light amplification
- Non-linear frequency conversion
- Photonic integrated circuits
- Laser frequency metrology and stabilization (e.g. frequency combs) (ideally on fiber-based platforms)
- Expertise in light processing and modulation using electro-optical and acousto-optical technologies (ideally on fiber-based platforms)
