Job Description
R&D Engineer required to join a growing quantum computing company. You will develop and optimize Josephson Travelling Wave Parametric Amplifiers for qubit readout working hands-on across design fabrication and measurement. This role suits a PhD-level engineer or scientist with experience in superconducting microwave circuits quantum-limited amplification and a passion for driving technical innovation in quantum technologies.
Responsibilities
- Research and develop quantum amplifiers for qubit readout focusing on extending bandwidth improving noise performance and integrating peripheral functions such as pump coupling and isolation.
- Contribute to theory design fabrication and/or measurement of quantum amplifiers and readout circuits depending on your expertise.
- Present findings and proposals clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders influencing roadmap and product decisions.
- Stay informed of relevant literature and state-of-the-art techniques in parametric amplification actively proposing new ideas and approaches to advance the teams work.
Your Profile
- PhD or equivalent industry experience in quantum-limited amplification parametric amplifiers (e.g. TWPAs JPAs) or related superconducting microwave circuits.
- Hands-on experience with at least some aspects of the amplifier development cycle (design simulation fabrication or cryogenic measurement).
- Proven ability to independently drive technical development structure priorities and solve open-ended problems in an R&D environment.
- Passion for pushing qubit readout amplifiers to the physical limits in a fast-paced research setting.
- Excellent communication skills able to present complex technical findings and influence decisions across disciplines.
Benefits
- Competitive salary
- Flexible working hours
- Professional development for training conferences and certifications.
- Opportunity to work hands-on with cutting-edge quantum readout technology.
- Collaborative multidisciplinary environment with direct impact on R&D and product roadmap.
- Exposure to the full amplifier development lifecycle from theory to cryogenic measurement.
- Regular team building and knowledge-sharing events in a dynamic startup environment.
