InSpek uses optical microchip technology to sense multiple molecules, temperature, acidity, oxygenation, and more. In real-time, directly at the heart of biochemical reactions. Our sensors help produce medicines, food, and energy while reducing waste. We make sensors better, cheaper, and smaller!

Do you want to join a young, dynamic, ambitious, and VC-backed startup? Then InSpek is the place for you!

Highlight Mission

We are looking for an integrated photonics intern for 4-6 months to assist in the optical simulations, design and measurements of photonic integrated circuits (PIC), which are at the core of InSpek's unique sensing technology.
 

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute experimental protocols to test and validate integrated photonic
  components and perform hands-on photonic component testing on our development
  platform:
  • Optical fiber-to-chip coupling for efficient interfacing
  • Optical response of complex integrated components with standard characterisation equipment (laser, SLED, spectrometer, powermeter, etc.)
  • Optical sensing and Raman spectroscopy system on chip
• Design and simulate photonic components and circuits using advanced simulation software
• Data analysis and periodic reporting with our team of experts

Competencies

• Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Photonics, or a related field
• Good understanding of the fundamental concepts of optics and electromagnetics
• Ideally experience with optical characterisation
• Familiarity with integrated photonics and optical systems would be a plus
• Good communication skills in English
• Proactivity, creativity, and all the soft skills that will help build the success of InSpek with us!

Compensation & Benefits

• Meal vouchers
• Flexible remote work policy
• Unique opportunity to be part of an innovative startup
• Regular social events
• Full integration into the team, including technical and coordination meetings
• Inclusive culture with 4+ nationalities

InSpek’s offices & laboratories are located at DocCity Suresnes, about 30 min from downtown Paris. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and experiences to apply, even if you don’t tick all the requirements.
