Systems Engineer Development of Superconducting Parametric Amplifier Technology

Job Description

During the project, the successful candidates will be at the forefront of experimental research, both independently and as members of our research teams. You will be part of an international team working on quantum devices both at ETH Zürich and EPFL.

Each position is initially limited to a term of eighteen months, with potential for extension. All three new team members will contribute to regular team meetings to report on project progress.

• Design and simulation of packaging for parametric amplifiers to minimize mismatches, thermal gradients and to ensure optimal magnetic field shielding.
• Exploration of novel packaging solutions for future iterations of the device.

We are seeking candidates with a strong interest in quantum technology based on superconducting quantum circuits. Proficiency in English, in reading, writing and discussing scientific material, is essential, along with strong teamwork and excellent communication skills.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Proficiency in CAD software and design tools.
• Proficiency in Printed Circuit Board design tools.
• Organizational skills.
• Initiative and creativity in developing innovative packaging methods.

Joining our collaborative research project provides access to a stimulating and inspiring work environment at ETH Zurich and EPFL in Switzerland.

Access to comprehensive infrastructure, expertise, and a collaborative network within our research groups.

In line with ensuring a fair and open environment that allows everyone to grow and flourish.

We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents in PDF format:

• Detailed curriculum vitae (CV).
