The Department of Physics at the Technical University of Denmark has
an opening for a process research engineer to develop state-of-the-art
nano and micro devices in the research group of quantum physics and
information technology (
QPIT).
QPIT is performing basic and applied research in quantum optics,
spintronics, and quantum information processing. The mission of the
group is to investigate new quantum technologies that can be used to
develop ultraprecise quantum sensors and for the development of
super-fast quantum computers of the future. The active research group
comprises a mixture of university professors, research assistants, and
PhD students. The group is internationally recognized for its
contributions in quantum information processing.
We seek a highly motivated process engineer to develop new high-quality
nano- and micro-structured devices of Silicon, Silica and, in
particular, Diamond using different etching and deposition techniques.
The candidate will also participate in setting up a new system for
diamond growth using PECVD.
The position is part of a new collaborative project on quantum
magnetometry that involves partners at DTU Electro, Ulm University,
Leipzig University, Hvidovre Hospital, and Unisensor A/S. It is funded
by the Danish Strategic Research Council by 14MKr. The aim of the
project is to exploit the unique quantum properties of color centers in
diamond crystals to develop new innovative magnetic field sensors
(magnetometers) with unprecedented sensitivity and/or extraordinary high
spatial resolution.
Qualifications
We are seeking a person with the following skills:
- Preferably a PhD degree within optics/photonics, physics, or engineering, or a similar degree with an equivalent academic level
- Extensive experience with different etching and deposition techniques, in particular RIE, PECVD, LPCVD, and sputtering
- Experience with fabrication and characterization of micro- and nano-structures
- Familiarity with working in a clean room
- Fluency in English – written and spoken
We offer
The successful candidate will join a young, dynamic and
international research group with a strong vision. The research program
includes quantum photonics, micro-photonics, quantum plasmonics,
opto-mechanics, solid state optics, and spintronics. More information
about the group can be found on the homepage:
QPIT.
Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with
the Confederation of Professional Associations. The salary will be
agreed with the relevant union. The position is to be filled as soon as
possible. The employment period it three years with the possibility of
extension.
