Job Description

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), National University of Singapore is looking for researchers and engineers to develop next generation quantum computers based on trapped ions. There are multiple positions available at different levels with a diverse set of expertise. This program is funded under the National Quantum Processor Initiative, a flagship program under the National Quantum Office Singapore. The aim of the program is to develop a full stack quantum processor based on Yb-Ba ions. This program brings together the unique capabilities of the existing ion trap groups in CQT expertizing on these two-ion species to explore scalability of the system.

The Centre for Quantum Technologies is a pioneering quantum centre in the world offering a diverse research culture at the intersection of three different fields namely, theoretical, experimental Physics and computer science. We offer competitive salary and enriching intellectual experience in a city state known for its forward outlook. This program also allows strong collaboration with leading academic and industrial groups within and outside the country. The team member for this position will be supporting both technically and administratively the development teams to achieve maximum efficiency. This plays a vital role in coordination between sub-teams in terms of smoothening the technical collaboration, documentation, procurement and in some cases hands-on support.   

Job Requirements

We are looking for suitable candidates to join the team of scientists and engineers working on the next generation of the ion trap quantum processor. The ideal candidate should have:

• Ideally a Bachelor or Poly-diploma degree in physical sciences/engineering/related areas;
• At least 1-2 years of experience in similar technical jobs in the R&D environment is preferred;
• Hands- on experience in one of the following areas and desire to cross the boundaries and learn new things is preferred;
• Vacuum assembly, Optics alignment, Electronics testing, Complex equipment procurement;

The successful candidate will be involved in all stages of the development cycle: collaborate with team members to define technical requirements, reporting to team leaders, share experience and knowledge.
