The opportunity
Are you passionate about advanced photonic packaging and its transformative potential in real-world environments? As a key member of CSIRO’s Distributed Mine Sensing Team, you’ll play a critical role in the design, development, and implementation of scalable, high-performance photonic packaging solutions. Working at the forefront of innovation, you’ll help drive the success of the Sustainable Mining Technologies Program and support the operations of the Queensland Advanced Photonics Packaging Facility, located at the Queensland Centre for Advanced Technologies.
This is a hands-on, leadership-oriented role where you will guide the optimisation of optical coupling, fibre alignment, and assembly techniques for demanding field applications. You will play a key role in overseeing cleanroom operations, process development, and collaborative research initiatives with industry, academic, and government partners. You will bring your domain expertise to manage everything from material science research and photonic chip packaging to cleanroom operations and equipment upkeep, which would be vital in ensuring reliable, high-performance solutions are ready for real-world deployment.
