If you want to learn what’s “under the hood” of our instruments, join our highly skilled Research and Development (R&D) team for a full-time, 6-month internship starting Early Spring 2027. We offer positions for students in Quantum Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science.
Potential Project #1: High-Density Signal Interconnects
Research and develop novel signal-line scaling methods for large-scale quantum computers. Model RF cables and advanced connectors, analyse signal integrity up to several GHz. Contribute to mechanical design, prototyping and lab characterisation.
Required Skills: RF/high-speed design, S-parameters, simulation tools, mechanical engineering and hands-on lab work.
Nice-to-Have Skills: 3D EM simulation (HFSS/CST/openEMS), 3D CAD/SolidWorks, PCB design, VNA measurements, Python.
Potential Project #2: High-Speed Optical Links
Characterise and optimise optical links for high-speed data transfer and synchronisation. Analyse phase noise, jitter and drift, build and test high-speed optical links, and compare commercial transceivers.
Required Skills: RF & analogue electronics, phase noise/jitter, lab measurements, Python.
Nice-to-Have Skills: Fibre optics/photonics, optical transceivers, FPGA or PCB design.
