Key Responsibilities

  • Perform device fabrication and support the development and optimisation of the processes: this may include cleanroom-based nanofabrication work, electrical assembly (wirebonding, soldering, etc), and prototyping (machining, 3D printing, etc)
  • Perform optical & electrical characterization of photonics devices
  • Construct and maintain optical measurement setups for device testing
  • Data analysis and feedback towards improved device designs
  • Set up, operate, and maintain cryogenic systems (incl. dilution refrigerators, cryostats)
  • Integrate and test quantum devices at (down to) millikelvin temperatures
  • Develop automated testing workflows, acquire and analyse experimental data

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, material science & engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline
  • Hands-on laboratory experience relevant to one or more of the focus areas above
  • Familiarity with experimental data acquisition, analysis, and presentation
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style
  • Experience in optical setups and laser systems
  • Experience in electrical/RF electronics and associated test equipment
  • Experience in cleanroom nanofabrication
  • Experience in mechanical design with CAD software
  • Experience in programming (especially in Python) lab equipment for testing automation
