Join Nu Quantum - Shaping the Future of Technology
Nu Quantum is at the forefront of quantum computing and advanced technology, driven by innovation, diversity, and a commitment to excellence. We’re creating an environment where brilliant minds from all backgrounds collaborate to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Founded to commercialise research generated over the last decade at the Cavendish Laboratory, Nu Quantum is on a mission to shape the future of quantum information systems.
We’re working on exciting technology that will improve the utility and accelerate the time-to-market of quantum computing systems. We integrate novel quantum photonic technology to form an efficient and scalable quantum networking infrastructure in partnership with world-leading companies and academic groups.
Nu Quantum is looking for a Nanofabrication Engineer to join our growing team, tackling exciting problems to make scalable quantum computing a reality.
About the role
We are looking for a Nanofabrication Engineer/Senior Nanofabrication Engineer (depending on experience) to accelerate the development of our quantum networking technology. These form a core part of our hardware R&D efforts, and their performance is crucial to reaching the rate and fidelity required for multi-core quantum computing. You would join our highly motivated and multi-disciplinary Photonics Systems team, with expertise across engineering design, optics, integrated photonics, and nanofabrication. Your role would initially focus on development and testing of a bespoke MEMS actuator which is a critical component for Nu Quantum next generation Qubit Photon Interface (QPI) device.
What you'll be doing:
- Develop, test and optimise bespoke MEMS actuator and miniaturized optical cavity module devices in line with specifications required for Nu Quantum’s next generation Qubit Photon Interface design.
- Develop, test and optimise high-precision assembly processes to align and assemble miniaturized optical elements.
- Define and refine the microfabrication flow in collaboration with external foundry suppliers and internal process engineers.
- Coordinate design-test-build development cycles to meet project deliverable timeline and quality standards, including tasks such as parts inventory management, test planning, database management and technical reporting.
