Job description
Summary
Quantum hardware development that requires a post PhD with a strong background in experimental quantum physics, particularly in solid-state device fabrication, measurement, and control. Full-time and based in the Sydney CBD.
About Us
Archer is developing a novel quantum computing processor chip for practical applications in mobile technology. Archer is a member of the IBM Quantum Network and is one of only a few companies globally that are commercializing quantum computing processor hardware.
As part of Archer's growing quantum technology team, you will be working at state-of-the-art research facilities in Sydney and with national and international industry and research partners. Your work will focus on the electronic read-out of quantum information in spin-based solid-state devices.
The Role
You will be working directly with inventors of innovative technology, with a focus on quantum information read-out in solid-state devices. You will need a strong technical background in experimental quantum physics, and an exceptional track record in delivering world-class outcomes in the fabrication and measurement of spin-based quantum devices.
Duties & Responsibilities
Some of the key duties and responsibilities of the role are:
- Lead the design and fabrication of nanoelectronic spin-readout devices as part of the implementation of Archer’s commercialization plans
- Participate in the development of intellectual property in-line with agreed strategy and policies
- Work closely with Archer team members and key external stakeholders in the collaborative development of quantum hardware.
- Communicate technology development outcomes through several publication channels including scientific reporting and publication in high-impact journals and patent applications
- Grow Archer’s strategic network in the field of quantum computing technology
- Contribute to applications for relevant project funding
- Report, document, and assess completed technology development milestones
Required skills, experiences and attributes for this role are:
- PhD in experimental quantum physics, nanoelectronic engineering or similar
- 2+ years’ experience working in semiconductor-grade cleanroom environments
- 2+ years’ experience in design and fabrication of nanoelectronic structures using electron beam/UV lithography
- Proven knowledge and expertise in spin-based quantum devices, including spin read-out and spin control
- Experience with electron spin resonance (ESR) and/or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements and devices
- Proven record of producing high-quality research outcomes in an academic or industrial setting
- Supervisory and/or leadership experience in scientific R&D settings
- Keen interest in building quantum devices for real-world applications
- Familiarity with quantum computing hardware, quantum simulators, or quantum sensors
Desired skills and experiences for this role are:
- Implementation of nano-positioning methods, tools and instrumentation
- Programming arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs)
- Use of quantum simulation software e.g. QuTiP, Qiskit
- Keen interest in developing hardware solutions for coherent quantum control in solid-state devices
- Motivated to join a productive team of pioneering scientists and engineers
The role reports to the Head of Quantum Technology and is based in the Sydney CBD. The role requires the right to live and work in Sydney, Australia on a full-time basis.
