- Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or C/C++ for test automation, instrument control, and data analysis.
- Working knowledge of network protocols (Ethernet, IP, TLS, IPsec) and cryptographic concepts (key exchange, encryption).
- Familiarity with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), or quantum optics is highly advantageous.
- Experience with Linux environments, network configuration, and protocol analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark) preferred.
- Understanding of ETSI, ITU-T, or NIST quantum-safe standards is a plus.

Soft Skills:

- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent attention to detail and lab discipline.
- Effective communication skills for cross-site collaboration.
- Self-driven, adaptable, and comfortable working in a hands-on R&D lab environment.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience in optical or network equipment testing, secure communication prototypes, or cryptographic hardware evaluation.
- Prior involvement in quantum communication research, secure network testbed development, or telecom field trials.
- Knowledge of hardware-software co-testing, optical calibration, and time synchronization systems.
- Contributions to research projects, standardization activities, or patents related to quantum-safe networking.
