Photonics Engineer - 249

Lead Photonics Scientist

Nanofabrication Engineer

We design and build photonic quantum technologies from the ground up. Together with our partners, we are applying our technology to overcome barriers to clean energy, quantum networking, and quantum computing.


We seek a Nanofabrication Engineer to join our hardware team and contribute towards the design and prototyping of our quantum processors. This permanent role is full time (37.5 hrs/week) and on-site at our Southampton premises. Salary range is £40k - £66k depending on experience (a higher salary is possible where appropriate for more senior appointments). Additionally, we offer share options and other benefits.


If you share our values and can help us achieve our goals, then Duality is a place where you can belong, whatever your background. Please consider applying to this role.


Main roles

  • Fabricate photonics processors in a cleanroom environment
  • Improve fabrication processes to optimise for quality and reproducibility
  • Liaise with our photonic engineers for rapid prototyping
  • Contribute to the company vision for nanofabrication of photonic devices 
  • Review process control and troubleshoot fabrication issues


Required qualifications and experience

  • Degree in Physics, Engineering, Materials Science or a related field
  • 3+ years experience of nanofabrication in a cleanroom environment
  • Experience with broad nanofabrication suit, including optical and electron-beam lithography, dry and wet etching, thin-film deposition and SEM characterization
  • Experience with mask/GDS handling

Desirable Experience

  • Experience with fabrication of photonics or quantum technology components
  • Experience with proximity correction software
  • Experience with backend technology
  • Understanding of photonic characterization techniques

Quantum-Enhanced AI Jobs: What Happens When Qubits Meet Neural Nets?

Over the last decade, we have witnessed spectacular leaps in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. From self-driving cars to machine-generated art, AI has permeated our everyday lives. Meanwhile, quantum computing—once the stuff of science fiction—has progressed at breakneck speed, with big players like IBM, Google, and IonQ demonstrating quantum processors that promise exponential computational power. But what happens when these two revolutionary domains converge? Welcome to the era of quantum-enhanced AI, where qubits meet neural networks to unlock computational capabilities far beyond today’s digital norms. In this blog post, we are taking an early thought-leadership stance on a topic that remains relatively uncharted by the wider tech world. With competition sparse, this is an ideal opportunity to position yourself and your organisation at the forefront of a new wave. We’ll dive into the core concepts, examine why quantum-enhanced AI is considered a game-changer, and highlight emerging career opportunities you can seize right now. Whether you’re a machine learning specialist seeking to sharpen your skill set, a quantum computing researcher wanting to apply your expertise, or simply curious about the future of technology, this deep dive is for you.
