Optical Packaging & Assembly Engineer

Job Summary

PsiQuantum is building the world’s first fault-tolerant quantum computer, enabled by large-scale photonic integration. We are seeking an Optical Packaging & Assembly Engineer to join our UK R&D facility at Daresbury Laboratory. In this role, you will work closely with a senior engineer to rapidly develop and prototype next‑generation optical packaging solutions for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). You will collaborate across mechanical, electronic, and quantum hardware teams to enable the assembly and testing of cutting‑edge optical quantum computing systems.

Responsibilities

• Support the design and rapid prototyping of optical packaging solutions for PIC-based quantum hardware.
• Develop and implement fibre-to-chip alignment and attachment processes for high-performance optical coupling.
• Assist in the design of scalable packaging architectures, working alongside senior engineers.
• Collaborate with mechan...
