About this job
We are currently looking for a Photonics Researcher to join the team in Enschede.
As a Photonics Researcher, you are responsible for developing, optimizing and managing the fabrication and integration processes used to create photonic integrated circuits based on low-loss optical waveguides, and ultra-low-loss modulators. The main focus is to ensure that these processes are efficient and cost-effective and produce high-quality products. By working with these processes you will have the opportunity to work on applications that relate to data security, road safety, energy-efficiency data handling, and health monitoring, among other impactful fields.
