Senior Parametric Amplification Expert M/F

Upstream studies & project development:

Study the problematics linked to the readout and amplification chain and develop appropriate solutions. This may include testing and screening new components, optimizing TWPA calibration, developing building blocks for scale-up (such as multiplexing and integration strategies), and contributing to the design of front-end and baseband control electronics, signal generation using FPGAs or ASICs.

Define and document the specifications of your projects and proofs of concept (PoCs), ensuring alignment with your manager on feasibility, timeline, and budget.

Organize, coordinate, and manage projects to ensure their successful execution and delivery.

Testing, Validation & industrialization:

Propose and help to implement a testing environment for your projects

Lead the tests and measurement, with the help of instrumentation and software engineers

Push the TRL validations up to the requested level by the Product delivery cycle

Ensure the transfer of developed building blocks to the operating teams

Troubleshooting & Optimization:

Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve technical issues related to the he test chip, cryo environment, or instrumentation / control electronics.

Implement root cause analysis process if needed

Establish long term roadmap on the amplification chain:

Conduct technology watch on the state of the art in amplification devices and the scale-up of amplification chains, identifying emerging technologies and assessing their relevance for the company's objectives.

Define and maintain a technological roadmap for the amplification chain, leveraging both external partnerships and internal developments where appropriate. Ensure close alignment with the design authority so that the roadmap remains consistent with the company's overall technology strategy.

Foster and maintain collaborations with academic and industrial partners by participating in national and international workshops and conferences, in line with the company's budget, conference plan, and the team's priorities and organization.

Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams & partners:

Work closely with other teams to ensure the seamless integration of our components in our hardware and software set-up.

Organize regularly internal workshops to the rest of the team to popularize technical knowledge to other team members

Documentation & Reporting:

Ensure all design processes, test results, and system configurations are thoroughly documented.

Provide regular updates and reports on your projects progress and timelines.
