    Default job background
    Description

    Rydberg Technologies is seeking a dynamic and experienced Optical Engineer to play a critical role in pioneering atomic quantum and photonic device technology. This hands-on position encompasses designing, integrating, assembling, and testing advanced optical systems including laser, optical, opto-mechanical, and opto-electronic systems to meet rigorous performance standards for atom-based quantum and photonic devices. This hands-on role will involve close coordination with physicists and engineers, critical to developing optical systems and lasers devices for atom quantum devices and new frontiers in sensing technology. We seek high-caliber candidates who are solution-oriented, organized, self-motivated, have an interest in top-level project planning, give attention to the finest project details, and have the ability to both work autonomously and in a dynamic, fast-paced team environment.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Design, simulate, and develop complex micro-optical assemblies, lasers, and optoelectronics.
    • Execute hands-on tasks including precision assembly, integration, and testing to ensure adherence to high performance standards and specifications.
    • Design and test optical setups for research and development, and utilize and apply optical metrology tools and methodologies for rigorous quantitative optical science and engineering tasks (e.g. power spectrum analysis, phase noise measurements, photon correlation) .
    • Conduct mechanical and thermal simulations to ensure robust hardware performance in harsh environments using SolidWorks and COMSOL.
    • Collaborate in the development of manufacturing processes for optical and quantum devices.
    • Manage documentation and project details meticulously through all stages of development.
    • Employ optical design software such as Zemax and LightTools or similar specialized optical design software, engineering design software like SolidWorks for design and prototyping, COMSOL for system simulations.
    • Provide technical expertise and guidance to engineers and support staff.
    • Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in optical metrology and optical engineering.

    Other Skills:

    • Optical Design and Simulation - Proficiency in using optical design software like Zemax.
    • Engineering Design Software - Skilled in SolidWorks and other CAD tools for design.
    • Simulation Software - Proficiency in using simulation tools like COMSOL for thermal and mechanical analyses.
    • Optics, Optoelectronics, and Lasers - Proficiency in optics and electromagnetic theory, gaussian beam optics, polarization optics, fiber-optics, modulators (AOMs, EOMs), optical frequency stabilization, narrow-linewidth lasers, diode, optical amplifiers, fiber lasers.
    • Optoelectronics - Experience integrating and optimizing optoelectronic devices within optical systems, photodetectors, photomultipliers, single photon detectors, and electronics.
    • Optical Metrology - Familiarity with optical metrology tools and measurement techniques for system performance evaluation.
    • Frequency-Stabilized Lasers - Understanding of the design and application of frequency-stabilized laser systems, optical cavities, and stabilization techniques such as PDH.
    • Micro Optics - Experience in designing and implementing micro-optical assemblies.
    • Opto-mechanics - Expertise in integrating optical components within mechanical systems.
    • Hands-on Assembly and Testing - Capable of conducting precision assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of optical systems.
    • Project Management - Ability to manage projects from conception through to production and testing.
    • Team Collaboration - Experience working in multidisciplinary teams and communicating effectively across different departments.
    • Innovation and Continuous Improvement - A proactive approach to staying updated with industry advancements and implementing continuous improvement practices.
