The National Quantum Federated Foundry (NQFF) is advancing the frontiers of solid-state quantum technologies through the design and fabrication of high-performance quantum devices.
We are seeking a motivated and capable candidate to join our efforts in superconducting qubit measurements.
This role involves the design, simulation, and implementation of microwave packaging, high-frequency PCBs, and electromagnetic shielding to enable high-fidelity qubit control and readout.
The successful candidate will contribute to device characterization, cryogenic measurements, and data analysis to evaluate qubit performance.
You will also collaborate closely with the team on cryogenic setup development and qubit design/fabrication.
Main Responsibilities:
Design, simulate, and validate microwave packaging, RF PCBs, and EM shielding for superconducting qubit devicesPerform low-temperature qubit measurements, including protocol development, calibration, and data interpretationContribute to technical documentation, research publications, and internal reportingCollaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of researchersJob Requirements:
A PhD degree in experimental physics, materials science, engineering, or related fieldsHands-on experience with quantum device measurements, ideally involving superconducting qubits or other types of solid-state qubitsFamiliarity with cryogenic systems, including understanding of thermal management and wiring in cryostatsStrong analytical and problem-solving skillsEffective communication skills, both written and oralDemonstrated ability to work independently as well as in collaborative team environmentsIn addition, preference will be given to those having experience in:
Design and integration of custom mechanical parts for cryogenic environmentsExperience with dilution refrigeratorsProficiency in simulation and programming tools, such as Python, COMSOL, or HFSS
