The Role We are looking for a Photonics Engineer to join our team developing the semiconductor structures and devices at the heart of Aegiq's next-generation quantum computing systems. You will design, model and optimise advanced III-V semiconductor heterostructures, with a focus on InP and GaAs-based materials systems. Your work will span bandgap engineering, strain management, device physics and thermal modelling, helping develop high-performance quantum light sources and other photonic devices. Working closely with our quantum science, photonic design and device engineering teams, as well as external epitaxy and semiconductor fabrication partners, you will translate device requirements into practical epitaxial designs that can be manufactured reliably and at scale. This is an opportunity to take ownership of challenging semiconductor design problems, contribute to the development of advanced quantum photonic devices and see your designs progress from simulation through wafer manufacturing to experimental validation. Depending on experience, the position may be offered at Senior or Principal Engineer level. What You'll Be Doing Epitaxial Structure Design: Design and optimise complex III-V semiconductor heterostructures, including quantum dots, quantum wells, superlattices and metamorphic buffer layers, with a focus on optical and electronic performance, material quality and manufacturability.
