About this role

Integrated Photonics Team Leader

Quix Quantum is building the next generation of photonic quantum technologies. We are now looking for an Integrated Photonics Team Leader to drive the development of our photonic hardware platform and lead a multidisciplinary team at the heart of our technology.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who is excited to shape a world-class photonics platform from concept to production.

What You’ll Do

As Integrated Photonics Team Leader, you will own and drive Quix Quantum’s photonic hardware stack and platform strategy. You will:

  • Lead, manage, and mentor a multidisciplinary integrated photonics team (design, layout, and research), ensuring technical excellence and high-quality documentation.

  • Own the end-to-end photonic hardware stack, including photonic circuits, electronics/ASIC interfaces, detectors, packaging, and characterisation.

  • Drive platform and PDK development, focusing on fabrication-robust design, tolerance analysis, and optimisation.

  • Manage relationships with photonic foundries, including wafer-run planning, process splits, PCM/DCM definition, and mask sign-off.

  • Support assembly, packaging, and hybrid photonic–electronic integration.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, electronics, software, characterisation, quantum science teams, and external partners.

What You Bring

Education

  • PhD in Integrated Photonics, Microelectronics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.

  • Strong academic background in integrated photonics.

Experience

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in integrated photonics design and development.

  • Proven experience leading and mentoring technical teams.

  • Demonstrated success taking PIC designs through full fabrication cycles with industrial foundries, including Si, SiN, and EO modulator platforms.

  • Experience with PDK or photonic platform development, including robustness and fabrication tolerance analysis.

  • Strong understanding of optical, electrical, and thermal co-design and integration.

  • Hands-on experience with assembly, packaging, and chip-level integration.

Why Join Quix Quantum?

At Quix Quantum, you’ll work at the cutting edge of quantum photonics, alongside a highly skilled and ambitious team. You’ll have real ownership, influence over the technology roadmap, and the opportunity to shape a platform that will define the future of quantum computing.
