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.
 
Key responsibilities:

Operation and continuous improvement of the 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
