Scientist Senior

Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this where if we are successful the technologies we develop will solve some of the worlds most challenging problems and literally change the world. In this role you will contribute your expertise in optics and photonics cryogenics to advance the performance of our Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs). As a member of the Low Temperature Devices Team your primary responsibility will be the development of record breaking single photon detectors with ultrahigh system detection efficiency short reset time and compact deployment.

With your deep technical expertise and experience in SNSPD system development you will play a critical role in designing and enhancing the performance and scalability of our SNSPD platform. You will take full ownership of their development from concept through validation and deployment within large-scale detector arrays. Challenge the state-of-the-art in key SNSPD performance metrics relevant to Xanadus Architecture

Perform cryostat-based iterative testing to validate coupling performance repeatability and stability

PhD in Physics Electrical/Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field with at least 2 years of postdoctoral or industry experience

Self-motivated comfortable working both independently and collaboratively with people of all disciplines on complex projects in a fast-paced environment

Experience writing Python code

Experience operating dilution refrigerators (DRs) and adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators (ADRs)

CAD and simulation experience for thermal/mechanical modeling (e.g. Solidworks COMSOL)

Familiarity with analog test equipment (e.g. Experience with statistical process control and quality management system reporting methods

They are fundamental and lay the foundation for culture at Xanadu. At Xanadu we are committed to building an inclusive safe and equitable culture and fostering an environment where our employees feel included valued and heard. Note: Xanadu will never ask you for bank account information as part of the interview process. Senior IC
