Job Description

About Xanadu:

Xanadus mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.

At Xanadu we are learners innovators researchers collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this where if we are successful the technologies we develop will solve some of the worlds most challenging problems and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about!

Your role and responsibilities:

As part of the Hardware Team you will work with our established team of physicists and engineers to support existing efforts to improve the performance of photon number resolving (PNR) cryogenic detectors and room-temperature photodiodes (PDs). In this role you will contribute your experience spanning cleanroom fabrication thin-film characterization and metrology all aimed at optimizing Xanadus detector technologies. You will join the Fabrication Process Engineering Team dedicated to the development and optimization of fabrication processes required to build Xanadus photonic quantum computing hardware. A key part of the role will involve travel within Canada for cleanroom development in partner facilities. In addition you will interface with internal stakeholders to understand the critical performance requirements of the detector technologies you will be building.

Basic qualifications and experience:

  • PhD with 2 years additional experience (postdoc or industry) in Physics Engineering Experimental Sciences or related relevant discipline with a focus on device fabrication or Masters with 5 years of cleanroom process development experience
  • Experienced in the operation of clean room tools including photolithography deposition (PVD CVD) wet & plasma etching (RIE ICP) and characterization (AFM ellipsometry)
  • Knowledge of optical thin film stack metrology characterization and optimization
  • Experience developing cleanroom recipes and maintaining detailed process documentation
  • Experience with statistical process control
  • Experience working in a collaborative team-based development environment
  • Ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple competing priorities

Preferred qualifications and experience:

  • Understanding the physics of optical detector technologies including superconducting devices and photodiodes
  • Experience fabricating and working with cryogenic detectors or their applications for example in TES MKID or SNSPDs
  • Experience fabricating and working with PDs including PIN PDs avalanche PDs etc.
  • Experience writing Python code
  • Experience with large data set analysis and statistical reporting

Our values are important. They are fundamental and lay the foundation for culture at Xanadu. Learn more about our values here.

At Xanadu we are committed to building an inclusive safe and equitable culture and fostering an environment where our employees feel included valued and heard.
