Would you like to contribute to the next generation of integrated photonics, optoelectronics, and superconducting circuits? Do you want to join a multi-disciplinary team in a fast-paced start-up environment? If so, our internship position at Miraex might be for you.Company DescriptionMiraex develops, manufactures and offers cutting-edge ultra-high-precision photonics and optoelectronic quantum solutions for next-generation sensing, networking and computing. At Miraex we build quantum-based integrated circuits for high-sensitivity measurements and distributed quantum computing infrastructures. An award-winning start-up with strong support from: Innovaud, Innosuisse, EPFL, Swissnex network, IBM Q network, Venture Kick, Venturelab, ESA Business Incubation Center, IMD business school, European Photonics Industry Consortium, TOP100 Swiss start-up, Creative Destruction Lab, etc. We are located in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland on the shores of Lake Geneva offering an incredible quality of life.Job DescriptionMiraex is looking for an intern focused on design and measurement of superconducting electro-optic devices to join our team and help us develop new integrated photonic devices. We are looking for someone with a passion for electro-optical technology and previous experience in laboratory research environments. As a well-rounded individual with a genuine interest in technology and engineering, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of tasks and projects.This internship will give you experience in a small and horizontal R&D team, where every voice is heard and each new challenge is an opportunity to learn something new. You will be able to gain experience in design, modeling, assembly, and measurement of electro-optic devices. You will design superconducting and electrical circuits on chips and PCBs, model their performance through calculations and simulations, and produce the components required to make devices and experiments function. You will manage complex cryogenic experiments prototyping superconducting and electro-optic circuits while being mentored by our team with decades worth of lab experience in such measurements.Place of work: on-site (Ecublens, VD)Duration: 6 to 12 monthsStart date: 2026 (variable)Activity rate: 80–100%Mandatory skillsExperience in a lab environment.Basic knowledge of RF/microwave components, electrical circuits, and instruments used to characterize them (e.g. vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, function generators).Rigor and care in experiment design and execution.Interest and initiative to learn new skills.Computational thinking and automation in Python or other scientific programming languages.Communication and documentation skills (written/oral) in English.Skills that will make the differenceExperience working with cryogenic vacuum systems.Experience theoretically studying, designing, and/or measuring superconducting circuits or materials.Experience with simulation software for high frequency electrical and/or optical structures (Ansys HFSS, COMSOL, Sonnet, AWS Palace, LTspice, etc.)Work in quantum optics theory and/or electromagnetic simulation coupled to experiment.Experience working with fiber optic, integrated photonic, electro-optic, and/or optical components, systems, and circuits.A hands-on mindset.Our offerBeing part of a fast growing investor-backed company in the very exciting and growing field of quantum computing.Exciting possibilities to put your knowledge into practice: work hands-on on direct problems with partners and clients in addition to typical research and development topics.Highly attractive working environment, in the heart of the Lake Geneva region, Switzerland.We want you to flourish: you will be trained and mentored by our optical engineering and quantum engineering team members with the goal of independent working.*6 to 12 months internship at least at 80%.**Internships are available to those with work/resident permits for Switzerland, or EU citizens (limited exceptions may apply). Shorter internship durations may be available under limited circumstances.*If you are interested and think you would be a good fit for our team, please send your application (CV, cover letter, and optionally thesis or project reports, transcripts, or any other demonstration of relevant knowledge and experience) to [email protected] and mention the title of the job position.
