Full Job Description
**Contract:** Permanent, full-time role **Start date:** August 2026 or ASAP **Visa sponsorship available** **About us** At Wave Photonics, we are building a platform to enable and accelerate the development, mass production and adoption of integrated photonics technologies. Integrated photonics will be crucial in enabling a host of applications ranging from energy-efficient communications, wearable healthcare sensors, rapid diagnostic tools, optical tensor processors, on-chip LiDAR, quantum computing and communication, and many more. We believe that many obstacles in developing these technologies can be removed using a combination of simulation, statistical modelling and optimisation techniques. Founded in 2021, we have backing from investors in Silicon Valley, the UK, and the EU, and are contributing to multiple projects funded by Innovate UK. We were also successful in winning a prestigious European Innovation Council Accelerator grant to develop solutions for frontier applications of integrated photonics. We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Electronics Engineer to join our team and contribute to our mission in accelerating the growth and adoption of integrated photonics technologies. If you’re drawn to deep tech, enjoy working where your contributions are visible, and want to be part of a team that takes both its science and its culture seriously, we’d love to hear from you. **Role overview** This is an opportunity for an electronics engineer (typically 3–5 years of hands-on experience) to join Wave Photonics and build our electronics capability from the ground up. Working closely with our Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) engineering team, you will be expanding our capability in modelling and PIC control, owning the hardware stack from requirements through to validated boards, and establishing the internal capability to interface with, drive, and control packaged PICs. In this role, you will lead the development of our electronics hardware stack f
