Job Summary :
Our client in Ann Arbor, MI is looking for an Applied Quantum Research Scientist PhD Degree. This is a contract position.
What You Will Do :
- Design and implement optically determined magnetic resonance (ODMR) sensing systems using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers and other quantum defects. Optimize and upgrade confocal microscopy setups for quantum sensing applications.
- Conduct research on quantum sensing protocols for magnetic field, electric field, temperature, and pressure measurements. Investigate novel quantum sensing modalities and improve sensitivity, spatial resolution, and temporal resolution.
- Investigate novel methodologies for applied quantum techniques outside of sensing applications.
- Design experiments to characterize quantum sensor performance under various environmental conditions.
- Lead efforts to downsize quantum sensing concepts from optical table setups to integrated photonic packages. Develop compact optical systems including miniaturized lasers, photodetectors, and optical components. Optimize system performance while maintaining quantum sensing advantages in miniaturized formats.
- Ability to work within and contribute to cross-disciplinary research teams with key deliverables including prototypes, intellectual property, and publications (an active interest in publishing is highly desirable).
- Willingness to participate in, support, and contribute to work-place safety culture and activities.
