Quantum Engineer at the Centre of Quantum Devices

We are looking for a highly motivated and independent engineer/physicist to assist with fabrication and characterization of superconductor-semiconductor materials. The position is for 3 years.

Our research
The Center of Quantum of Quantum Devices at the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, is in collaboration with Microsoft Quantum working on developing topological quantum materials based on hybrid epitaxial crystal growth. The Center for Quantum Devices is a basic research center supported by the Danish National Research Foundation, comprising materials research, experimental physics, nanoelectronics and condensed matter theory. The full research program for the center of excellence can be found on the QDev homepage here: http://qdev.dk/.

Your job
The Center for Quantum Devices and Microsoft Quantum Copenhagen (Station Q) at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, announces the opening of a process engineer position to participate in the development of hybrid superconductor-semiconductor material schemes for quantum transport electronic structures. The project work will involve innovative solutions to substrate fabrication for nano-structured crystal growth, as well as structural and electronic characterization of the materials and devices.

The primary work tasks are development of hybrid superconductor-semiconductor materials for quantum transport electronic structures. The project work will involve bottom-up nano-structured crystal growth, structural and electronic characterization, with the overarching goal of making low dimensional components for topological quantum information processing.

As a quantum engineer you will support the work of post. docs. and PhDs in the lab by carrying out projects on your own.

Profile

Essential experience and skills

• You have an MSc in mechanical engineering, electronic engineer, physics or similar
• You have a profound knowledge of semiconductor fabrication
• You have a profound knowledge of interfacing superconductors and semiconductor and electrical characterization of such devices
• You are used to work in an academic lab
• Service-minded behaviour, including experience training others.
• You have prior experience working in collaborative research projects
• You have programming experience (preferably Python) with focus on controlling lab-equipment and performing data analysis
• Good English skills, written and spoken

Desirable experience and skills

• Knowledge of molecular beam epitaxy and growth of selective area grown nanostructures
  

Place of employment
The place of employment is at the Centre for Quantum devices, University of Copenhagen. You will be located both at the H.C. Ørsted Institute (Copenhagen) and at Microsoft Quantum (Lyngby).

Terms of salary and employment
