Design functionality and determine requirements for quantum optical aspects of the full system architecture.
Build predictive models and perform analysis of architectural performance across multiple system views.
Develop methodologies for evaluating implementation concepts and determining their feasibility.
Work closely with photonics, systems and architecture teams to capture a consistent, data-driven description of the optical system architecture.

Master’s degree or equivalent in EE, Physics, Computer Science or related field. PhD with a focus on quantum computation theory or quantum photonics preferred.
3+ years of relevant academic or industry research experience in quantum computing or quantum information.
Knowledge of linear optical quantum computing and quantum optics preferred. Familiarity with error modelling, quantum networks and quantum error-correcting codes strongly preferred.
Ability to work across domains and collaborate effectively with multi-disciplinary technical teams across sites & timezones.
Experience programming in Python, C++ or similar languages is desirable.
Competent use of collaborative software development tools (e.g., GitHub) is desirable.
