At the Photonic Integration Technology Center (PITC), we are shaping the future of integrated photonics. Founded by TNO (at Holst Centre), Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), the University of Twente (UT), and PhotonDelta, PITC is dedicated to bridging the gap between groundbreaking research and real-world applications. Our work contributes to solving global challenges — from improving road safety and health monitoring to enabling secure communications and energy-efficient data handling.Would you like to pioneer cutting-edge photonics technologies and build a new R&D team within a collaborative and high-impact environment? Join us at TNO-PITC in Enschede, where science meets innovation in a joint initiative supported by key players in the photonic chip industry.Learn more about PITCWhat will be your role?As a device physicist in integrated photonics, you will work alongside a multidisciplinary team to develop, optimize, and manage fabrication and integration processes for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). These circuits are based on ultra-low-loss optical waveguides and modulators on silicon nitride (SiN), with applications in quantum and microwave photonics.In this role, you willRealize stress-based light modulation with very low energy consumption, and understand how process and design considerations impact performance.Exploit linear electro-optic (Pockels) effect to demonstrate high speed electro-optical modulation using barium titanate.Interact with specialists from UT and TNO and contribute to roadmap development related to photonic integration.Participate with expertise and take responsibility in ongoing collaborative projects with international and local customers.Engage industry-wide best practices in your work to ensure quality.You will be employed by TNO with your primary office located at the University of Twente (Enschede)
