About the role

View original

Working within the cryogenic complementary metal‑oxide semiconductor (cryo‑CMOS) team, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on a revolutionary technology. Characterize the performance of integrated cryogenic ASIC‑based control systems interfacing with quantum devices. Design, execute, and analyze measurement campaigns to evaluate cryogenic control hardware and system behavior. Develop and refine measurement techniques to assess device‑level and system‑level performance. Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary partners—including ASIC designers, electrical engineers, qubit measurement engineers, and theorists—to inform and optimize system design. Analyze, document, and communicate characterization results, limitations, and findings to hardware and system development teams. Verify that the integrated cryogenic control system meets defined performance requirements and specifications. Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment. OR Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment. OR Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 1+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment (which may include completion of a post‑doctoral research position). OR equivalent experience. Ability to work in an “AI-first” environment using modern AI tools to accelerate discovery through both hardware and software development. Ability to design and build AI agents/copilots that assist with experiment setup, log triage, measurement report generation, protocol templating, and knowledge retrieval (e.g. instrument manuals, design docs). Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field. Low‑noise electronic measurements (e.g., lock‑in amplifiers, analog preamps). Cryogenic techniques (e.g., Helium 3 cryostats or dilution refrigerators). Electrical transport characterization (semiconductors, dielectrics, superconductors). Radio frequency (RF) or microwave measurement techniques. Data acquisition and programming in a high‑level language (e.g., Python). 4+ years of experience with quantum measurement of semiconductor qubit or quantum dot devices. Experience with analog electronic circuit design. Experience with technical report writing and documentation. Experience with cross‑team collaboration and/or mentoring.
