Requirements
We are seeking a candidate interested in operating state-of-the-art photonic test systems. What you
should bring:

• Strong interest in hands-on work with delicate semiconductor components/wafers and

electrical/optical measurement equipment * Some Python knowledge (e.g. Matplotlib figure creation, running code in IDE, reading existing
code...) * Independent and exact working style

• Excellent communication skills and the desire to contribute within a dynamic deep tech startup

This working student position is well suited for students obtaining an engineering, natural science or computer science degree
Benefits
At Lumiphase, we offer a young, fast-growing, and dynamic working environment with broad options for personal development. We have world-class technical people who love to share their skills with new team members. People from all around the world have joined us, creating an open-minded and diverse team spirit.

• On-site fitness room, canteen, and top quality espresso machine,
• A spacious office overlooking Lake Zurich - perfect for summer swimming after work,
• and a lot of fun team events!

We look forward to welcoming talented, new members to our team.
We have developed a unique technology to bring a material with an extremely strong pockels coefficient into a scalable silicon photonics platform. Having this physical effect available in integrated photonic circuits has been a scientific and technological breakthrough, which enables the realization of advanced photonic structures and completely new applications, e.g. for photonic AI networks and quantum computing.
At Lumiphase, we are bringing this new technology to market, while at the same time developing new scientific and technological concepts. The student's projects are placed at the heart of our R&D activities and will ensure that our groundbreaking semiconductor chips can realize their full performance potential with appropriate electrical, optical and mechanical integration solutions.
In addition, we provide an agile environment with plenty of opportunities for our young talents to develop their skills.
And we have a lot of fun together as well!
