Requirements
  • Hands on experience with the design and testing of electronic systems including electronic circuits, transmission lines, PCB’s and packaged devices.
  • Experience with high-speed RF/microwave measurement tools and techniques including vector network analysis (VNA), spectrum analysis, time domain reflectometry/transmission (TDR/TDT), real-time and sampling oscilloscopes.
  • Programming experience (Python, MATLAB, other modern scientific programming language)
  • Basic computer skills (spreadsheets, presentations, word processing) are required.
  • Experience with experimental physics or quantum science is a plus.
  • BS + 2 years of experience, or MS in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Physics or a related field.
  • US Citizenship.
  • Must have or be willing to apply for and maintain a security clearance.
Responsibilities
  • Coordinate the installation, testing, and official certification of two new dilution refrigerators (DRs).
  • Design a fully integrated “phase 1” measurement system capable of supporting approximately 10 microwave driven spin qubits. The measurement system will include all room temperature electronics and cabling, as well as cryogenic filtering, cabling, machined components, and sample holders.
  • Coordinate the buildout of phase 1 DRs.
  • Design a fully integrated “phase 2” measurement system that will enable the measurement of 50-dot UCS3 devices on a microwave compatible sample holder. The measurement configuration will include all room temperature electronics and cabling, as well as cryogenic filtering, cabling, machined components, and sample holders.
  • Coordinate the buildout of phase 2 DRs.
  • Assist with the design, assembly, procurement, and characterization of microwave control electronics.
  • Analyze results, document and report findings in oral presentations, written reports, and publications.
  • Effectively collaborate with other members of the team to identify and implement improvements to experimental infrastructure, control hardware/software, and device designs.

HRL Laboratories focuses on research and development in advanced cognitive systems and human-machine collaboration, enhancing human cognitive abilities through artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The company develops solutions that improve how humans and machines interact, with projects like ICArUS for machine interpretation and MEMES for memory enhancement. Operating on a project-based model, HRL generates revenue through customized solutions and partnerships with government and private sectors. The goal is to lead in creating cognitive systems that improve collaboration in defense and high-tech markets.
