• Reliability & Scaling: Design and execute cryogenic reliability studies, optimising setups to handle increasing throughput demands.

• Reporting & Process Standardisation: Streamline experiment documentation, data pipelines, and technical reporting to ensure seamless knowledge sharing across teams.

Your Profile

• Education: MSc in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, ideally with a concentration in Quantum Computing or Quantum Technology (PhD is a plus).

• Cryogenic Expertise: Hands-on experience in low-temperature operation and maintenance of cryogenic systems - dilution refrigerators, pulse-tube or 4 K cryostats, wet helium/nitrogen systems.

• RF & Superconducting Hardware: Strong background in microwave/RF measurement techniques for superconducting qubits and other solid-state systems.

• Software Skills: Proficiency in Python for data analysis, instrumentation control, and test automation, along with experience using Git for version control.

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.
