About the role

  • Automating analysis workflows run in jupyter notebooks into cloud deployed pipelines analyzing terabytes of optical data per month.
  • Using your advanced mathematical, physical, and statistical skills to develop new algorithms and maintain existing ones.
  • Assigning uncertainties to derived metrics of the analysis.
  • Forecasting uncertainties of proposed experimental designs to measure photonic device performance at bleeding edge precision.
  • Working with hardware engineers and physicists to apply software best practices to their data analysis using the latest tools and models you develop.
  • Debugging unexpected results of analysis at each step in the process - determining if results are due to software failure, experimental failure or physical properties in the device.
  • Interfacing with data engineers to manage data sourcing and maintain data integrity.
  • Developing visualizations and metrics engineers can use to make critical engineering decisions.

Requirements

  • Strong programming skills: Experience with python data analysis libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and pandas.
  • Understanding of python data structures and software design principles.
  • Experience with Git and the pull request workflow.
  • Physics Background: Strong foundational understanding of photonics, optical physics, quantum physics, or analogous fields.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
  • Master's or PhD degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related field is preferred.
  • 1+ years of experience in a professional software development environment.
  • Understanding of the full software development lifecycle, including version control, code review, testing, continuous integration, logging, and documentation.
  • Strong statistical and mathematical intuition, with an understanding of concepts like overfitting, underfitting, and propagation of uncertainty.
  • Experience with Bayesian methods or optimization methods in data analysis.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced research environment.

Benefits

  • inclusive, safe, and equitable culture
  • professional development opportunities
