Add expected salary to your profile for insightsSilicon Quantum Computing Pty Limited (SQC) is at the forefront of global efforts to build a commercial-scale quantum computer and bring quantum computing to market. Established in May 2017, it is the world's first atomic precision manufacturing company focused on delivering the highest quality qubits and commercial outcomes as they scale. SQC has significant backing from Telstra, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, UNSW Sydney, and the Australian Federal and New South Wales governments. With AU$283m in funding to date and a highly integrated team of engineers, SQC has developed a full-stack quantum computer in-house and is capable of rapid iteration and product deployment at speed.About the roleThis position will be in one of Australia's leading research teams conducting world-leading research in atomic electronics and quantum computing with the specific aim of building a quantum computer based on atom-qubits in silicon. Silicon Quantum Computing is an Australian research and development company, working hard to make quantum computers a reality.The Associate Quantum Engineer supports the development of quantum processors based on precision-placed atom qubits in silicon. In particular, the Associate Quantum Engineer designs, tests, characterises, and optimises multi-qubit devices based on nuclear spin qubits and electron spin qubits, develops control schemes for fast magnetic control of individual spins, the controlled coupling between them, and the processing of quantum information.This position reports to the Quantum Engineering Lead, Dr Ludwik Kranz. While this role does not have any direct reports, it is expected that they will assist where necessary with the support of other students and team members.Key responsibilitiesDevelop and perform low noise, high frequency measurements of multi-qubit devices in silicon.Assist in setting up, optimising, and operating experimental setups based on cryogenic dilution refrigerator.Conduct experiments, gather, compile, prepare, and analyse data.Write and analyse the code for execution and analysis of the measurements.Undertake analysis of project data for publication including the preparation of manuscripts.Where appropriate, assume leadership of projects.Regularly report on progress regarding findings back to the team.Assist the design, fabrication, and optimisation of atomic-scale silicon qubit processors.Work with a multidisciplinary team of quantum physicists, engineers, technicians, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to establish optimal setting for rapid development of atomic-scale silicon quantum processors.Assist the operation and maintenance of laboratory and specialised electronic equipment (high frequency signal generators, DACs and ADCs, oscilloscopes etc.).Cooperate with all health and safety policies and procedures and take all reasonable care to ensure that your actions or omissions do not impact on the health and safety of yourself or others.Minimum RequirementsMaster's degree in physics, electrical engineering and/or experimental physics or equivalent and experience in measuring multi-qubit devices in either a commercial or academic environment.Demonstrated experience using common RF and microwave test equipment (e.g., signal generators, spectrum analysers, network analysers, oscilloscopes).Demonstrated ability to conduct independent research.Proficiency in a range of programming languages (e.g. Python).Excellent IT skills, including experience with word processing such as MS-WORD, LaTex or equivalent.Excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to liaise effectively with all stakeholders.Well-organised, attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines.Demonstrated ability to think logically, create solutions and make informed decisions.Ability and willingness to work in a team where credit is shared.Proactive and positive mindset when confronting challenges.Knowledge of health and safety responsibilities and commitment to attending relevant health and safety training.Differentiating ExperiencesDemonstrated experience in high frequency (GHz) measurement techniques and microwave engineering.Demonstrated experience performing Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) or Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments.Demonstrated experience setting up or running a cryogenic dilution refrigerator.An excellent research track record in the discipline area as evidenced by conference presentations and publications.At SQC, we are pioneering the future of quantum computing, with a focus on solving some of the world's most complex problems. Join a team of world-class researchers, engineers, and innovators driving breakthroughs in science and technology.Pre-employment checks required for this positionVerification of qualificationsBackground checks#J-18808-Ljbffr
