Photonics Characterisation Engineer

⌕ Job Overview

We are looking for a Photonic Characterisation Engineer to join our Photonics team and play a key role in the experimental characterisation of advanced integrated photonic devices.

This is a highly hands-on position where you will design and run experiments, operate optical test equipment, analyse measurement data and help turn experimental results into clear engineering insight. Your work will support teams across photonic design, manufacturing and system testing, helping ensure technical decisions are grounded in high-quality, repeatable data.

You will work across both die-level and wafer-level characterisation, combining practical laboratory work with Python-based data analysis and experimental automation. Over time, you will take increasing ownership of characterisation activities, from defining test approaches through to delivering results and communicating conclusions to stakeholders.

This role is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys being in the lab, working through difficult experimental problems and moving comfortably between optics, software and data.

✎ What You'll Be Doing

• Design and execute experiments to characterise integrated photonic devices and structures
• Operate optical and photonic laboratory equipment across a range of measurement setups
• Carry out die-level and wafer-level testing
• Analyse experimental data using Python and relevant scientific computing tools
• Develop scripts and workflows to automate data collection and analysis
• Translate experimental requirements into practical, repeatable test methodologies
• Identify measurement issues, investigate unexpected results and troubleshoot experimental setups
