Join our mission to deliver the future of quantum photonics
Join our mission to deliver the future of quantum photonics
We’re an integrated photonics company in California building the light engines that power the next era of quantum technology — from advanced computing to precision sensing. We’re looking for individuals who are curious, driven, and inspired by the intersection of physics, engineering, manufacturing, and their imagination. Behind every breakthrough is a team of brilliant people working together. Here, you’ll collaborate with world-class physicists, engineers, and innovators who share our mission to scale transformative quantum solutions. You’ll see impact you can measure — your work directly enables cutting-edge research and real-world applications. You’ll experience growth you can feel through mentorship, continuing education, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. And you’ll find work-life balance, with flexible schedules, generous benefits, and an environment that values your life outside the lab.
At our core, we believe that good causes make for great business. Our work is guided by integrity, respect, and a shared commitment to growing the quantum ecosystem responsibly. We’re building technologies that define the future — and doing it in a way that strengthens the community, the science, and the people behind it.
We design and build products that can be trusted. From concept to calibration, we believe in getting it right from the start — combining precision engineering with rigorous testing to deliver systems that perform reliably in the most demanding environments.
We partner with leading experts and suppliers who share our values of quality, transparency, and innovation. Every relationship in our supply chain is a collaboration rooted in trust and shared purpose — ensuring that excellence begins long before a product reaches our customers.
Our engineering philosophy starts with listening. We translate customer requirements into solutions that go beyond specifications — driving innovation through curiosity, technical mastery, and disciplined execution.
We actively contribute to the growth of the quantum ecosystem through collaboration with customers, industry organizations, academic institutions, and consortiums. Our team participates in education, advocacy, and leadership efforts that help accelerate the global adoption of quantum and photonics technologies.
Integrity
At the heart of our business philosophy lies integrity, fostering trusting relationships that are essential for success. By embodying honesty, transparency, dependability, and respect, we create a culture of accountability and ethical behavior. This commitment not only builds strong connections with our clients and partners but also enhances our reputation in the market. As a team, we demonstrate integrity by adhering to the highest ethical standards in every action and decision, ensuring that we are deserving of the trust placed in us.
Innovation
Innovation is critical to our growth and relevance in a fast-paced world. We strive to achieve continuous improvement through curiosity and a proactive approach to risk management. Embracing the idea that “fast is better than slow,” we prioritize incremental changes that collectively produce extraordinary outcomes. Our commitment to innovation drives us to seek new ideas and solutions daily, empowering our team to explore and experiment, while recognizing that perfection is a journey, not a destination.
Leadership
We believe that true leadership is rooted in service. Our approach to leadership emphasizes servant-based principles, where our goal is to empower all stakeholders—employees, customers, markets, and shareholders—to thrive. By actively listening, showing empathy, and being aware of the needs of others, we create a supportive environment that fosters mutual growth. Our leaders exemplify stewardship and collaboration, guiding our teams with influence rather than authority, ensuring that everyone feels valued and motivated to contribute.
Community Focus
Nurturing our community and prioritizing people are vital to our mission. We emphasize mentorship and ethical practices, recognizing the power of training and education in uplifting individuals and fostering sustainable growth. By actively participating in community service initiatives, we aim to empower others and create a positive impact.
