About the role
Develop and validate cryogenic infrastructure connecting silicon quantum processors to classical systems.
Test wiring, interconnects, connectors, and quantum-classical interfaces inside dilution refrigerators.
The role suits an early-career engineer or physicist who enjoys careful, hands-on laboratory work.
Role responsibilities
- Test and validate cryogenic wiring, attenuation stacks, interconnects, and connector solutions.
- Develop and execute cross-talk testing protocols for high-density cryogenic signal delivery.
- Assess noise, thermalisation, warming effects, and other impacts of cryogenic configurations on qubit performance.
- Operate and maintain cryogenic dilution refrigerator systems and support monitoring and reliability.
- Develop and maintain test and data-analysis code, documenting results against defined requirements.
- Collaborate with hardware engineering and measurement teams on quantum-classical interfaces and refrigerator configurations.
- Maintain and support specialised laboratory and RF equipment.
Essential experience
- Bachelor’s, Honours, or Master’s degree in physics, electrical engineering, quantum engineering, or a related discipline.
- Hands-on laboratory experience in cryogenics, RF or microwave test and measurement, or low-temperature physics.
- Proficiency in Python coding.
- Strong organisation, attention to detail, and rigour in testing and documentation.
- Excellent communication skills for explaining complex technical concepts.
- Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams with shared ownership of outcomes.
Desirable experience
- PhD in physics, electrical engineering, quantum engineering, or a related discipline.
- Hands-on experience setting up and operating cryogenic dilution refrigerator systems.
- Strong background in RF measurement techniques and signal integrity.
- Experience measuring qubits or other cryogenic quantum devices.
- Familiarity with cryogenic wiring, attenuation, and filtering design for quantum computing systems.
Recruitment and checks
- The recruitment process is expected to include three to four interviews.
- Successful candidates may undergo background, right-to-work, employment, and qualifications checks.
- The position may involve access to export-controlled information or technology and may require eligibility assessment.
