Quantum Helpdesk Hardware Engineer at Chalmers Next Labs

Chalmers Next Labs AB is looking for experts to establish and operate a quantum technology lab. The company will build and operate two Quantum technology testbeds: one testbed for Quantum computing algorithms and one for Quantum hardware. We will recruit a team of ten persons in total for six different types of positions, where two persons are already recruited. All positions are fulltime on permanent basis.

About the Quantum testbeds
The Quantum algorithm testbed comprises a large dilution refrigerator hosting a 25-qubit chip developed by the WACQT research center at Chalmers. The setup is fully equipped with microwave control electronics and a control SW stack. This NISQ-regime quantum computer will be available for industry and researchers to execute quantum algorithms. The users will include researchers in Sweden and individuals from industry partners.

The Quantum hardware testbed comprises a smaller dilution refrigerator and can accommodate various experiments requiring low temperatures for developing Quantum technology hardware. The goal is to support enabling technology and spin-off companies that may lack the resources to purchase their own equipment but still need to test their products. Examples include tests for microwave filters, single photon detectors and sources, and software optimizing qubit control.

About the position
The Quantum Helpdesk comprises of experienced scientists assisting users with both testbeds as described above. Two Quantum algorithm experts are already on the team. We are now looking for a cryo/measurement engineer to debug anomalies in the cryo setup, calibrate quantum chips for optimal performance, provide guidance on algorithm optimizations for existing hardware, and instruct users on utilizing the hardware testbed.

Main responsibilities:
- Perform precise cryo-measurements for diagnostics. 
- Tune-up quantum chips for peak performance.
- Enhance algorithms for optimal testbed hardware compatibility. 
- Instruct users on effective testbed utilization.

Necessary qualifications:
- Demonstrated experience in troubleshooting cryogenic setups. 
- Expert knowledge in tune-up procedures for superconducting quantum chip. 
- Solid background in gate-based quantum computing. 
- Proficiency in RF electronics. 

General qualifications:
- Fluency in English, oral and written
