Join Us at the Forefront of Quantum Computing Innovation 🚀 

Description of the Team/Project

Are you interested in understanding the physical properties of single-photon emitters?

We’re seeking an R&D optics engineer to join our team to improve the quality of the single-photon sources essential for Quandela’s quantum computers.

Our team bridges the gap between the fabrication of the sources and the integration in quantum processing units, playing a pivotal role and giving feedback for the rapid improvement of our devices.

Your Key Responsibilities 

Advanced quantum dot characterization:

• Contribute to the optical characterization of single semiconductor quantum dots.
• Learn and apply advanced spectroscopy techniques for quantum emitter analysis.
• Perform data analysis to compare sample performance and extract key metrics (e.g., brightness, linewidth, optical and spin coherence).
• Collaborate across the semiconductor technology and optics teams to optimize device design and experimental setups.

• You are pursuing a Master's degree in Nanotechnologies, Quantum Optics, or a related field. This position is only valid with an Internship Agreement.
• Seeking a 5 to 6-month end-of-study or gap-year internship (full time).
• Passionate about physics and semiconductors, with an interest in working in an international group of engineers and researchers.
• Previous experience in semiconductor devices or spectroscopy through internships or academic projects.
• Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages, data analysis.

• Swile Card (meal vouchers) 🍴🛒

• 50% participation in transportation costs 🚆

• Possibility of remote work (1 day / week) 💻
• Internship Allowance between €1,200 and €1,400 per month 💰

• 1,5 days off per month, cumulative 🧳
