Simulate, build, and measure cutting-edge photonics.

Photonics Engineer

The goal of Brightlight is to bring transformative change to photonics technologies via integrated Titanium:Sapphire lasers. An unprecedented on-chip technology requires innovative solutions and new ideas (or revisiting some quite old ideas) to realize its full potential. Join us at the early start-up stage to miniaturize integrated sapphire photonics, Ti:Sapphire lasers, and frequency combs, for a bright future!

  • Preparing photonics circuits layouts for fabrication

  • Measurement of photonic devices in the optics lab

  • Programming of controls and automation software

  • Building optical characterization stations

  • Participate in collaborative R&D projects with academic and industry partners

Required Qualifications

  • BS and/or MS in physics, electrical engineering, or related fields.

  • Background in optics and laser physics

  • Work experience in an optics lab

  • Proficiency in programming (Python)

  • Excitement to learn a wide range of skills in photonics circuit simulation, design, measurement, and analysis.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Industry experience in optics/photonics-related field
