Job Description

We are seeking a Cryogenic Engineer with expertise in the development and testing of cryostats for temperature sensors and single-photon detectors. The ideal candidate will contribute significantly to our cryogenic technology roadmap, enabling precise thermal management in ultra-low-temperature environments essential for quantum computing and sensing applications.

Job Role :

• Work on the development, operation, and maintenance of cryogenic systems, including cryostats used for testing quantum devices.
• General knowledge of cryostats; hands-on experience with any specific cryostat systems is a plus.
• Basic understanding of dilution refrigerators; prior experience at a cryogenics facility is a strong advantage.
• Contribute to the fabrication and process development of quantum devices with hands-on experience in :
• Optical lithography / Electron beam lithography.
• Wet and dry etching techniques.
• Thin-film deposition (Sputtering, Evaporation).
• Knowledge of dielectric deposition techniques, including PECVD, LPCVD, and Dry / Wet oxidation.
• Adherence to cleanroom chemical safety protocols; experience at CeNSE IISc cleanroom or similar facilities is preferred.
• Generate analytical reports supporting the definition of Design of Experiments (DoE) and continuous process improvement.
• Design and execute test plans to enhance process reliability, quality, and reproducibility of device parameters.
• Operate and analyze data from various characterization tools such as SEM, AFM, and electrical conductivity measurement systems.
• Demonstrate strong problem-solving capabilities and effective communication skills.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams; must be a dependable and proactive team player.
