Quantum Photonics Engineer | Bristol
Location - Bristol
Salary - £60,000 / £65,000
Are you excited by the opportunity to help build the technologies that will underpin the future quantum internet?
We’re working with an ambitious technology company developing world-leading quantum photonic solutions designed to protect the global digital economy. Their innovations are enabling practical, scalable quantum-safe communications through advanced integrated photonic technologies that are already being deployed in real-world applications.
With a focus on scalable manufacturing, ultra-compact chip-based technologies, and reducing the cost of deployment, they’re helping make quantum security accessible across telecoms networks, critical infrastructure, and billions of connected devices.
About the Role
As a Quantum Photonics Engineer, you’ll contribute to the design, simulation, fabrication, and experimental validation of advanced quantum photonic integrated circuits, working alongside multidisciplinary teams to develop cutting-edge technologies from concept through to deployment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design and optimise quantum photonic integrated circuits.
- Develop and model integrated photonic architectures for quantum networking applications.
- Support fabrication and tape-out activities with semiconductor foundries.
- Build and operate laboratory test setups for characterising quantum photonic devices.
- Analyse experimental results and use data to refine future designs.
- Collaborate with engineering and research teams to develop practical, manufacturable quantum technologies.
We’d Love to Hear From Candidates With Experience In Areas Such As:
- Quantum photonics or integrated photonics.
- PIC design and simulation.
- Nonlinear optics, single-photon technologies, or quantum optical systems.
- Silicon photonics, silicon nitride, indium phosphide, or other integrated photonic platforms.
- Optical laboratory testing and experimental characterisation.
- Python, MATLAB, or similar programming for modelling and data analysis.
- A background in quantum optics, photonics, physics, or electrical engineering.
