Electro-Optic Package and Assembly Product Engineer
PsiQuantum
Quantum computing holds the promise of humanity’s mastery over the natural world, but only if we can build a real quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real, useful quantum computers, capable of delivering the world-changing applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture, and a data center footprint.
By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today’s most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.
PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer, years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components at Tier-1 semiconductor fabs such as GlobalFoundries where we leverage high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality that photons don’t feel heat or electromagnetic interference, allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry standard fiber connectivity.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced two government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first Quantum Data Centers and utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago, Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand quantum computing’s potential impact and the need to scale this technology to unlock that potential. And we won’t just be building the hardware, but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that will provide industry-transforming results.
Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decades-old advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our future, not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous, and we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.
There’s much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!
Job Summary:
The Electro-optic Package and Assembly Product Engineer is responsible for delivering fully qualified electro-optic packages to internal customers. This includes ensuring manufacturing readiness, coordinating materials and factory schedules, maintaining product integrity, tracking yields, troubleshooting assembly issues, and escalating concerns to meet deadlines. The role requires close collaboration with multiple teams, including test and validation, design and integration, and assembly process engineering, to resolve technical challenges, document lessons learned, and continuously improve both product and process performance.
Responsibilities:
- Oversee material readiness, scheduling, and logistics to support on-time delivery of electro-optic packages.
- Ensure traceability, integrity, and yield of semi-finished goods through careful process control and documentation.
- Troubleshoot and resolve assembly and test issues in collaboration with test, validation, and core competency engineers.
- Maintain and update DFMEAs and PFMEAs based on lessons learned from manufacturing and design iterations.
- Coordinate the flow and kitting of new materials to meet evolving product requirements.
- Follow up with stakeholders to close open issues and track progress until resolution.
- Document lessons learned and transfer knowledge to design, integration, and assembly process teams.
Experience/Qualifications:
- 1+ years of related experience.
- Familiarity with electro-optic assembly processes, tools, and equipment (e.g., electrical, mechanical, optical).
- Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including design engineers, assembly process engineers, and manufacturing operations.
- Experience with electro-optic test and validation, as well as working with OSAT partners, is a plus.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Optical, Mechanical, Materials, or Industrial Engineering (or a related field); industry experience strongly preferred.
- Proven ability to coordinate material flow, troubleshoot manufacturing issues, and manage complex technical projects.
