# Photonics Test Engineer

Summary The Photonics team at QuEra Computing, Inc. pioneerscutting-edgephotonic chips for integration into neutral-atom quantum computers. Scaling our technology requires high-volume, high-precision characterization of the photonic chips that manipulate atoms and light, and reliable integration of those chips into our quantum computing systems. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Photonics Test Engineer to architect and build our system bench testbed for photonics chips, to own their operation as they become the backbone of our design-fab-test iteration cycle, and to drive the integration and validation of photonic chips within the full quantum system. The individual in this role will work closely with photonic design engineers, foundry partners, and system integrators to define test criteria, stand up automated test infrastructure, and deliver the measurement data that drives the next generation of our quantum processing units (QPUs). This individual owns their project progress against department and company goals and may also mentor colleagues across several such projects. Responsibilities Architect, design, and build system-level photonic bench test beds, includ
