Group 89-Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group

The Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group conducts quantum information science research from a shared foundation of innovative control-signal design, outstanding fabrication tools, and well-equipped measurement infrastructure. The group has a broad range of experimental and prototyping activities. The group's quantum information science activities include the development of superconducting and trapped-ion qubits and quantum sensing with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. In addition, the group has robust capabilities in classical superconducting circuits, complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) design and fabrication, and integrated photonics. These component technologies are used in synergy with quantum information science demonstrations, as well as in standalone applications that include beyond-CMOS circuit technologies, energy-starved sensors, compact optical communication and laser radar transceivers, and microwave photonic signal processing.

Job Description

The Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group seeks an engineering assistant to aid in the development of next-generation photonic integrated circuit (PIC) devices and systems, especially those for trapped-ion based quantum computing and sensing. The candidate will collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary team. Work will focus on the characterization of photonic components and integrated circuits, the reduction and analysis of collected data, and documenting and communication results. Other work may include the supervised construction of measurement apparatuses, and packaging of devices. Work will span a number of different material platforms and integration approaches.

Requirements:

Two- or four-year degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field. Must have experience in a laboratory setting, ideally with lasers and free-space and/or fiber optics. Experience with the development of measurement systems including with computer programming for data acquisition (e.g., using Python, Matlab, or LabVIEW) is also desired. Candidate must be interested in continuing to learn and expand their abilities and skills while undertaking challenging problems. Candidate must have proficient laboratory and analytical skills, excellent communication and presentation skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a dynamic multi-disciplined team environment. Additionally, experience with the characterization of integrated photonic devices and circuits is a very strong plus. Experience with photonic integrated circuit packaging is also a plus.
