Quandela is hiring an optical integration engineer for the pigtail group within its Source Production team in Palaiseau. The work is hands-on: coupling single-mode fibers to individual micropillars with alignment below 100 nm, edge-coupling micro-structures to photonic integrated waveguides, cooling pigtailed sources, and characterising quantum emitters with single-photon detection. The posting asks for a PhD or engineering degree in optics, photonics or experimental physics, fiber-handling experience, cryogenic or low-temperature optical setup experience, and careful procedure writing and reporting. Simulation is a plus, ideally about 70% hands-on and 30% simulation.
