Research Engineer in Optics

Your role at C12 Quantum Electronics :

As part of the CNT Engineering team at C12, you will help develop and operate our optical spectroscopy setups to characterize and select the ultra-pure carbon nanotubes (CNTs) used to assemble our qubits.

Your job will involve :

• Operation and continuous improvement of the Rayleigh and Raman spectroscopy setups
• Design and build new optical setups under controlled atmosphere to further improve the optical characterization of our CNTs
• Write automated procedures to characterize our CNTs at a very high pace
• Work with the software team to improve our internal database
• Write scripts for signal processing and statistical analysis of our spectroscopy data

About You:

• Engineering diploma or Master’s degree in Optics, Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science or other related field; past work experience or a PhD is also appreciated
• You love experimental lab work and you like writing python code
• You have some experience in hardware and experimental setup design and fabrication
• You like collecting, organising and analysing your data
• You are detail-oriented and organized in your work and documentation style
• You are diligent, independent, result-oriented and have a problem-solving attitude
• Very good communication in English (verbal and written) is essential

Preferred traits :

• Experience with mechanical design
• Experience in materials characterization techniques (SEM, TEM, AFM, probe station)
• Experience with micro and nano piezo actuators
• Experience in carbon nanotubes
• Experience with vacuum systems
