Job Title: Quantum Optics Engineer
Imagine a future where a single test unlocks the full story of your health. That’s the transformative vision we’re bringing to life. We are a deeptech company developing a revolutionary technology to analyse all blood components in a single test, using a single machine. By rethinking the limits of current blood analysis methods—which depend on labour-intensive, costly, and targeted approaches—we aim to make advanced healthcare more accessible, affordable, and precise. This is your chance to work at the intersection of quantum physics and medical innovation, driving forward a revolution in how we understand and treat disease.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and assembly of the experimental setup tailored to quantum-light applications for biology.
- Generate and manipulate quantum states of light, including entangled photons, and work with multiple photon bin structures such as time-bin, polarization-bin, and frequency-bin states.
- Collaborate closely with technical leadership to align quantum optics strategies with broader technological goals.
- Participate in iterative prototype development, refining experimental approaches and implementing optimizations to improve the reliability and scalability of the setup.
Qualifications and Skills:
- PhD in Quantum Optics, Quantum Photonics, or a closely related field.
- Postdoctoral experience preferred, with a strong experimental background in designing and managing quantum optics or photonics setups.
Why Join Us?
- Work on a cutting-edge field and explore one of the most promising areas in modern physics, with direct impact on people’s lives.
- Gain expertise in cross-disciplinary fields such as biology, medicine, and healthcare.
- Contribute to breaking down a deeply rooted technological limitation with potential applications across multiple industries.
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary aligned with your experience and profile.
- Equity in the company.
Location and Start Date:
- This position is based in Paris, France.
- The role opens in two months, with flexibility on the exact start date based on the candidate's availability.
