Quantum R&D Engineer - TWPA

• Translate product specifications & features into TWPA layouts and circuit designs through simulations.

• Drive the miniaturisation of our TWPA architectures and successfully design and integrate critical peripheral components on-chip

• Research directions include extending bandwidth, improving noise performance, and integration of peripheral functions like pump coupling and isolation.

• Present findings and technical 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 contributing new ideas and approaches to the team.
  

• PhD or equivalent industry experience in quantum-limited amplification, parametric amplifiers (e.g. TWPAs, JPAs), or closely related superconducting microwave circuits.

• Deep expertise in non-linear metamaterials, Josephson circuits, and mixing processes.

• >3 years of hands-on experience with advanced microwave design and simulation (e.g., CST, HFSS) with a proven track record of matching simulations to cryogenic measurement data.

• Track record of independent, creative problem-solving in a research and development setting.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly present technical findings and influence decisions across disciplines.

• Passionate about qubit readout amplification; pushing amplifier performance to the physical limits and thrive in a fast R&D environment.

Don't tick every box? Apply anyway! Research shows women often self-select out if they don't meet every requirement. Here's our take: nobody ticks every box. This is a description of our ideal candidate, not a filter. If most resonates and you're keen to learn the gaps, apply. We hire for trajectory, not perfection.
