Closing Date:
We are looking for an experimental research scientist to join the development of an integrated quantum photonics platform, with a focus on integrated single-photon detectors. The scientist will be heavily involved in developing the device designs, building up our opto-electronics testing capabilities, and eventual device packaging and deployment. The successful candidate will work on the following:
• Design and develop photonics-integrated photodetectors and other silicon photonics devices
• Perform and/or oversee device fabrication processes
• Design, construct, and automate opto-electronic test stations for device testing
• Experimentally characterize fabricated devices (bare chips and packaged devices)
• Design and integrate control circuitry for operating integrated single-photon detector devices
• Integrate, develop, and test a wider integrated quantum photonics platform
Job Requirements:
• Relevant PhD degree in a Physics or Engineering field
• Background in experimental optics and/or electronics
• Able to independently plan and execute research work
• Ability to program (especially Python) lab equipment for testing automation
• Direct experience with photonics/photodetectors is desirable
• Familiarity with circuit/PCB design, high-speed electronics, mechanical design, and machining is desirable
• Ability to communicate and work closely with team members

Closing Date:
At the Department of Quantum Technologies for Engineering, we seek to develop and enhance the performance of solid-state qubit devices. Our research projects are highly interdisciplinary and involve close collaboration with a group of excellent researchers at IMRE. We are currently looking for a research scientist to work on fabrications of hybrid quantum devices that combine van der Waals materials with superconducting quantum circuits. The work will demand making high-quality van der Waals heterostructures, interfacing the van der Waals materials with superconducting quantum circuits and the necessary cleanroom processes for device packaging.The candidate will also work together with other members of our team to perform device characterisations and cryogenic measurements of the quantum devices. The candidate will have the opportunity to participate in the microwave characterisations and qubit measurements, including the setup of measurement protocols, data interpretation and analysis.
Main Responsibilities:
• Design and fabrication of hybrid quantum devices consisting of van der Waals materials and superconducting quantum circuits.
• Study the potential microwave losses of van der Waals materials to improve the coherence properties of hybrid quantum devices.
• Provide technical documentation and manuscript writing.
• Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of researchers.
Job Requirements:
• A PhD degree in experimental physics, materials science, engineering, or related fields.
• Experience in exfoliation and assembly of van der Waals heterostructures.
• Experience in handling air-sensitive van der Waals materials and working with glovebox will be advantageous.
• Experience with characterization tools such as AFM, Raman microscope etc.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a team.
• Resourceful in problem-solving and critical thinking.
• Good presentation skills (written and verbal).
