Hybrid Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Payload Engineer
Posted 4 months ago
About the role
- Engineer contributing to the development and improvement of quantum key distribution payloads for space applications. Collaborating with engineers across disciplines while ensuring technical quality and design ownership.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of our QKD payload, from concept through flight qualification
- Drive technical decisions within your domain and take ownership of subsystem design choices
- Collaborate closely with electronics engineers (opto-electronics, digital/ analog , FPGA interfaces) and thermo-mechanical engineers (thermal control, structural design)
- Plan and execute laboratory verification, characterization, and system-level testing of optical, electronic, and QKD-specific components
- Prepare technical documentation, test reports, interface specifications, and customer deliverables
- Support external environmental and space-qualification campaigns (vibration, TVAC, radiation, EMC)
- Contribute to continuous systemization and maintain clear requirements, interfaces, and architecture documentation
- Work across several mission and technology projects simultaneously, contributing QKD expertise and hands-on engineering
Requirements
- Degree in physics, electrical engineering, photonics, aerospace engineering, or related field; background in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) or quantum optics strongly preferred
- Solid understanding of QKD protocols, photon sources/detectors, optical components, timing/synchronization, and system architectures
- Experience with laboratory work (optical setups, measurement equipment, data acquisition)
- Ability to work autonomously, make informed technical decisions, and drive design iterations
- Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail and documentation discipline
- Experience in space systems, environmental testing, or hardware verification is a plus, but not required
Benefits
- Flexible work arrangements in a hybrid model combining remote and onsite collaboration
- The opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future of quantum technologies
