We are looking for a highly experienced engineer to optimize our nanofabrication process of thin-film lithium niobate photonics platform.

The job
Optimization of the nanofabrication process of thin-film lithium niobate photonics platform, which is one of the key platforms for future quantum photonics computing technologies.
The goal of the job is to obtain the ultra-low loss and high-speed thin film lithium niobate photonics platform, and to fabricate the quantum photonic devices designed by the team members based on the optimized nanofabrication process.

Our expectations of you
The candidate is expected to be:

• Having good communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
• Highly experienced in the nanofabrication process optimization of thin-film lithium niobate platforms.
• Highly experienced in nanofabrication of thin-film lithium niobate photonic devices.
• Highly experienced in ebeam lithography, thin film deposition, ICP etching process engineering and morphological characterizations.
• Good team-working spirit.

What we offer in return
We offer an international and creative working environment.
You will be integrated in a very creative research team which is focusing on the first large scale universal optical quantum computing under in the Novo Nordisk Quantum Computing Program (NQCP), with a clear mission to demonstrate the world’s first large scale universal quantum computing.
