Ready to shape the future of photonic chips?

This is the time to work on a faster, more reliable and accessible manufacturing ecosystem for the fabrication of advanced photonic chips. This strengthens Dutch industry and reinforces Europe's position in photonic innovation. We’re at a pivotal moment as focus will be shifting from groundbreaking research to large-scale industrial manufacturing. Now, we’re looking for pioneers ready to build something new in this fast-evolving field. Join the Photonic Chip Pilot Line in Eindhoven and make your mark on our time.

Join us and drive the future of photonics

The Photonic Chip Pilot Line will enable production of Indium Phosphide (InP) photonic chips at 6-inch wafer scale. These chips are essential for breakthroughs in AI, quantum computing, medical diagnostics, and secure communications. You will contribute directly to their manufacturing and help bring cutting-edge technologies to life. As part of the EU-funded PIXEurope program, this pilot line will enable the transition to large-scale manufacturing.

The pilot line will be built at High Tech Campus Eindhoven, a major European photonics hotspot and home to the PhotonDelta ecosystem of startups, scale-ups, and research organizations. With access to top-tier facilities, deep expertise, and countless opportunities to learn, it is the ideal place for pioneers in this fast-evolving field. Whether you are an operator, engineer, or support specialist, your role will help shape the future of integrated photonics.

Make impact, grow, and shape your future in tech

By joining the Photonic Chip Pilot Line, you will work at the forefront and actively contribute to the Netherlands’ ambition to lead in integrated photonics. To realize this, we seek professionals with an entrepreneurial mindset who understand that their role may look different in five years and who are open to a dynamic environment. Depending on the role, you’ll start on a state-of-the-art production line in a cleanroom environment, and later transition into shift operations. You'll have room to grow through technical training, collaboration with startups, tech companies and top universities, and career development with a close-knit team. This is your chance to shape the future of photonics.
