Your mission
Are you an experienced packaging expert passionate about advancing the field of
photonics and quantum applications? We are seeking a Team Lead Photonic Packaging
Engineer to head our packaging efforts. In this hands-on leadership role, you will guide a
small, dedicated team of engineers and oversee the complete packaging assembly of our
single-photon detectors. You will be responsible for tackling the unique challenges of
packaging Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for operation at cryogenic temperatures (2
Kelvin).
Key Responsibilities
• Team Leadership: Lead and mentor a hands-on packaging team (2+ engineers),
planning workflows and ensuring efficient project execution.
• Advanced Packaging Processes: Develop and execute high-precision fiber-to-chip
coupling strategies, focusing on maximizing coupling efficiency and stability at
cryogenic temperatures.
• Assembly & Integration: Perform and oversee critical assembly steps including
chip attachment and wire bonding, ensuring reliability under extreme thermal
cycling.
• Thermal & Mechanical Design: Design submounts and packaging interfaces. You
will specifically address thermal management challenges, calculating and mitigating
mechanical stress caused by CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) mismatches
between chip, submount, and adhesive layers at 2K.
• Process Optimization: Transition manual packaging steps into automated processes.
• Interface with Design: Collaborate closely with the PIC design team to optimize
Mode Size Converters and spot sizes for improved coupling tolerances.
• Strategic Sourcing: Select and qualify materials (epoxies, solders, submounts)
suitable for cryogenic environments.
