Hardware R&D Engineer – Cryogenic and Quantum Components
About The Position
This is a hands-on hardware R&D role focused on cryogenic electrical measurements, modelling and optimisation of electro-thermal and quantum devices operating below 1 K. The engineer will plan experiments, analyse measurement data and work closely with fabrication specialists to connect device design, process development and performance feedback. The role is suited to someone with a PhD or equivalent experimental background in physics, electrical engineering, nanotechnology, semiconductor devices, quantum technology or a related field. Recent PhD graduates and postdocs moving from academia into industry are welcome to apply. The position contributes to silicon-based quantum technology across the full device chain and is based onsite in Espoo, Finland. Relocation support is available.
Requirements
- PhD or equivalent experience in physics, electrical engineering, nanotechnology, semiconductor devices, quantum technology or a related field.
- Hands-on experience with electronic transport measurements.
- Hands-on experience with cryogenic experimental setups, especially in the sub-1 K temperature range.
- Strong understanding of solid-state physics, electrical transport and device physics.
Nice To Haves
- Understanding of component fabrication; hands-on fabrication experience is a strong advantage.
- Experience in modelling, simulation or theoretical analysis of semiconductor, thermal, electro-thermal or quantum devices.
- Experience characterising electro-thermal devices, such as Peltier devices or NIS-based components.
- Experience with custom thermometry, such as on-chip thermometry.
- Understanding of phonon transport and electron-phonon coupling.
Responsibilities
- Perform cryogenic electrical measurements of electro-thermal and quantum devices.
- Model and design devices to guide experiments and support performance optimisation.
- Plan and execute experiments in collaboration with the R&D and fabrication teams.
- Analyse measurement data and communicate findings to guide device and process improvements.
- Work with the fabrication team to connect device design, process development and measurement feedback.
Benefits
- Relocation support.
