Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Nu Quantum Ltd Full time

About Nu Quantum

Nu Quantum is dedicated to bringing cutting-edge quantum information systems to market, leveraging research developed at the Cavendish Laboratory. Our innovative technology enhances quantum computing systems by integrating advanced quantum photonic solutions. We aim to create an efficient and scalable quantum networking infrastructure through collaborations with leading companies and academic institutions.

Position Overview

We are seeking a talented Photonic Device Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of novel photonic devices for our integrated photonics platform. This role focuses on waveguide-integrated superconducting nanowire detectors, pushing the boundaries of quantum computing technology.

This position offers a unique opportunity to work in a dynamic environment where you will collaborate with experts in photonics, nanofabrication, and engineering. You will have the freedom to explore new approaches and contribute to groundbreaking research.

Responsibilities
  • Design and develop waveguide-integrated superconducting nanowire detectors.
  • Collaborate closely with fabrication engineers to ensure practical designs that meet project requirements while considering process limitations.
  • Operate a closed-cycle cryostat, optical and electrical characterization equipment, and explore new capabilities as needed.
  • Design experiments, automate data collection and analysis processes.
Requirements

Your Qualifications and Skills

  • PhD in photonics, quantum optics, superconducting devices, or a related field.
  • Deep understanding of single-photon detection, both theoretical and practical.
  • Proficiency in setting up experimental rigs using optical and electronic hardware, cryogenic systems, and automation tools.
  • Experience in developing or characterizing electronic or photonic devices.
  • Strong team player with excellent communication and interpersonal abilities.
  • Proactive individual who takes ownership of challenges and delivers results promptly.

Additional Skills (Preferred)

  • Simulation experience with Lumerical and/or HFSS.
  • Hands-on experience in cleanroom device processing.
  • Scripting skills, particularly in Python, and Git for version control.
  • Experimental background in integrated photonics and/or superconducting materials.
