Sobre esta vaga de Senior Lab and Field Technician, Quantum Sensing na Q Ctrl
Q Ctrl · Presencial · Sydney
About the team
Q-CTRL’s Quantum Sensing Research team performs basic and applied research in quantum sensing and quantum-enabled navigation. It is a highly dynamic team comprising approximately 30 specialists in theoretical and experimental atomic physics, cold-atom interferometry, navigation modeling, and modern Bayesian estimation and signal processing techniques.
The Quantum Sensing Research and Quantum Sensing Engineering teams work closely together, translating novel quantum sensing research into a useful capability and product. We are focussed on pushing the boundary of what is possible in quantum sensing and ensuring our R&D has real-world impact.
About the role
We are seeking an exceptionally skilled and intuitive Lab and Field Technician to join our fast-paced Quantum Sensing team. In this role, you will work across our cutting-edge Gravimetry Research groups to make sure our prototype field trials lead to successful, world first outcomes.
You will be working almost exclusively on the preparation, deployment and logistics of taking custom, one-off or low volume prototypes and ultra-delicate assemblies to real world field trials. We need a natural problem solver—someone with outstanding intuition who identifies problems before they occur and takes action towards a solution. You are someone who thrives in an R&D environment, handles high-stakes precision hardware with extreme care, and can figure out how to succeed when faced with the realities of the unexpected in the field.
A key focus of the role will be the participation in all aspects of field trials of our hardware including in lab preparation/testing, packaging/transport, and installation/unloading, as well as solving problems of all natures that occur when conducting high stakes prototype deployment. You will be operating in the crossover of ultra precise next generation quantum sensors with the possibilities for cutting edge new capabilities they enable in the field.
What you'll be doing:
Note on Quantum Experience: You do not need a background in quantum mechanics or quantum hardware! We have world-class scientists to handle the physics—we need your exceptional problem solving abilities to ensure success for our field trials and deployments.
Ideally you'll have:
