Company Overview:

QuantLR is at the forefront of quantum encryption, pioneering new ground in cybersecurity. We focus on blending quantum physics, sophisticated encryption protocols, FPGA and high-speed electronics, and cutting-edge fiber/free-space optics communication to craft industry-leading encryption solutions.

As a junior physicist, reporting to the optical department manager, you will lead the development of our next generation of Quantum Cryptography systems.

• Design our next generation fiber and free space Quantum Cryptography systems.
• Build advanced quantum optical systems, based on optical fibers and free space optics
• Test, design and perform lab and field tests during the product development
• Manage R&D activities of a multidisciplinary project (Optics, HW, SW, Algorithms and Mechanics).
• Collaborate closely with subcontractors, ensuring effective communication and project alignment.
• Engineering: Support the NPI process of the next generation Quantum Cryptography systems.

• Academic: Experimental Ph.D./ MSc in Physics / Electrical Engineering
• Experience: minimum 2 years hands-on experience in developing and building free space or fiber based optical setups and using electrical/optical lab equipment.
• Independent learning: Has the ability to learn independently from academic literature and scientific papers

• Quantum Key Distribution: Familiarity with QKD theory, protocols and algorithms
• Systems Integration capabilities: Prior experience in multidisciplinary systems (optical oriented preferred)
• Quantum Optics: Experience with quantum optics and low-light systems
• Engineering: Experience supporting the NPI process for a multidisciplinary system.

• Curious & Self Driven: You possess a genuine interest in leading our next generation Quantum Cryptography systems design.
• Team player: work together with our team of experts to achieve the company goals
• Balanced Skill Set: While main focus is on design of Quantum Cryptography systems, you will also need to manage NPI and production.
