Cambridge photonic-chip start-up; design automation for integrated photonics.
More about Wave Photonics
Wave Photonics is an integrated photonics company based in Cambridge, UK, specializing in computational design technology for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Founded in May 2021 by experts in quantum photonics and computational modeling, the company focuses on enhancing the efficiency of photonic circuit design, enabling a smoother transition from design to production. The company offers a platform that utilizes advanced computational techniques to create fabrication-tolerant photonic integrated circuits for various wavelengths and platforms. This approach addresses inefficiencies in the photonics industry, significantly reducing development time and costs. Wave Photonics is particularly focused on applications in quantum technologies and biosensing, with notable projects including quantum key distribution (QKD) and collaborations with academic and industry partners to advance photonics research. With a total funding of $880K, including a recent grant of $630K, Wave Photonics is positioned to reshape the productization cycle in photonics, drawing parallels to the semiconductor development process.

About this page
Why Wave Photonics is on this map
Cambridge Tech Map is an independent guide to the Cambridge technology market, built and maintained by Innovare Recruitment from public sources: careers pages, job boards and company announcements. We are not affiliated with Wave Photonics, we do not represent them, and we play no part in their recruitment process. Every application goes direct to their own careers site.
For candidates, this page does one job: every live tech role in Cambridge in one place, so you can see the whole market without trawling ten job boards. No sign up, no gate, and you apply direct.
For the Wave Photonics team, here is our thinking, stated plainly. A recruitment agency only ever earns its place in one of three ways. It sends the right candidate at the right moment. It gets referred in by someone it has placed before, who now works with you. Or it shows value your internal team cannot easily get elsewhere: deeper market knowledge, faster shortlists, a clearer read on who is genuinely available. This map is our working proof of that third door. We track every tech employer in Cambridge, every live role, and the shape of the market around them, and we would rather show that work in public than claim it in a cold call. If it is ever useful when you hire, we would love to help. And if anything on this page is wrong, tell us below and we will fix it fast, or remove the listing entirely if you prefer.
