About this role
Responsibilities:
- Integrate and test control electronics and instrumentation (RF, DC, etc.) with the help of senior engineers.
- Characterize, simulate, and design RF hardware at room temperature and cryogenic temperatures (bias tees, filters, …)
- Rapidly design and prototype sub-systems for Qubits control, considering the electromechanical integration inside of the cryostat or the racks.
- Analyze and compare different RF component manufacturing technologies (substrates, processes, connectors, packaging, cables, etc.) in terms of performance, EMC, accessibility, and feasibility.
- Assist with test bench setup, cabling, equipment maintenance and monitoring.
- Perform lab measurements using RF bench equipment (VNAs and analyzers).
- Define, optimize, and automate the test programs needed to qualify or validate system hardware conformity.
- Preparing complete, well-documented test plans and reports results.
- Monitor instrument and component stock.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop and integrate systems required to control quantum chip architectures.
Requirements:
- Engineering or master's student (4-5 years of higher education) specializing in microwave frequencies, RF electronics, telecommunications, applied physics, computing, instrumentation, or related fields.
- Solid understanding of RF systems, S-Parameters, and wave propagation.
- Experience with RF test equipment, signal characterization and analysis techniques (VNA, Spectrum Analyzer, and oscilloscope).
- Experience with RF cad tools (HFSS, Keysight ADS,…)
- Familiarity with Python for RF data analysis and post-processing (NumPy, scikit-rf, matplotlib).
- Familiarity of using basic lab and prototyping tools (multimeter, torque driver, power tools, soldering iron).
- Ability to work as part of a team, with a strong spirit of innovation.
- Excellent communication skills in English, both written and oral. (English level B1/B2)
