Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop and test quantum sensors and prototypes for real-world applications, focusing on solid-state platforms. Responsibilities include hardware design, system integration, and performing laboratory validation and field testing.
Requires a PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with substantial hands-on laboratory experience. Candidates must possess strong analytical skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex electronic and physical systems.
The Advanced Quantum Technologies Group focuses on accelerating quantum computing and quantum sensing using ion and solid-state platforms. Core areas of the Group include fundamental quantum science to guide next-generation advances, quantum devices (ion computing testbeds, precision clocks, magnetometers, and other sensors), and quantum systems such as magnetic-assisted navigation and quantum microscopy for microelectronics diagnostics.
The Advanced Quantum Technologies Group seeks a highly motivated, detail-oriented, curious, and driven physicist, applied physicist, or electrical engineer with hands-on laboratory experience. The successful candidate will join a close-knit, dynamic team pushing the forefront of quantum sensing, with emphasis on solid-state sensors and their integration into practical systems. As an active participant in cutting-edge research and development, the candidate can expect to face novel physics and engineering problems that require creative solutions daily. This position involves working at the forefront of quantum and solid-state physics to develop sensors and test them in real-world applications.
The candidate will contribute to building and testing sensor prototypes; integrating RF/microwave, electronic, mechanical subsystems; fabricating sensor devices; and assisting in optimizing sensor performance based on application-specific and system-level requirements. In addition, the position will offer the opportunity to pursue new and creative ideas for novel sensor technologies, as well as for novel applications of existing sensors.
Applicants should have a broad skillset and a willingness to work on a wide variety of tasks as needed. Applicants should be willing to engage as both a productive member of a team and a leader of a team as necessary. Typical tasks are:
While a broad set of skills is desired, the majority of day-to-day tasks will be tailored to the applicant's specific interests and strengths. Applicants should be comfortable both working independently in a self-directed manner and collaborating closely within a highly integrated team. The role also offers opportunities to develop new technical, communication, and program management skills and expand one’s expertise over time.
