Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Engineer - Verification & Integration (f/m/d)

Job description

Your mission Location: Stuttgart, Germany: Type: Permanent employment, full-time, onsite with max. 1 day remote work per week The future of AI computing builds on light. Q.ANT is building photonic processing systems that compute with light - delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and HPC applications. Q.ANT's photonic integrated circuits are at the heart of this technology. You will drive the experimental verification and data analysis that turns fabricated PIC components into validated, production-ready hardware. Beyond characterization, you will contribute to the full photodiode-PIC integration lifecycle - from concept and design coordination through build, validation, and packaging - directly informing Q.ANT's technology roadmap. What You Will Do: - Design and execute PIC characterization routines; perform experimental verification and tailored data analysis to extract and statistically evaluate key performance parameters - Develop Python-based analysis tools and automation scripts for PIC performance evaluation and statistics - Contribute to the full photodiode-PIC hybrid integration workflow - from initial c...
