The University of Sydney is Australia's first university and has an outstanding global reputation for academic and research excellence. It employs over 7300 permanent staff, supporting over 50,000 students.

The Quantum Nanoscience Laboratory is one of most advanced experimental institution in its field worldwide. It is based in the Quantum Physics research group, at the School of Physics. Led by Professor David Reilly, the team aims to establish revolutionary technologies from powerful computing to enhanced bio-sensing by manipulating complex quantum systems. In collaboration with first class academic institutions and industry partners worldwide, the team of 20 have delivered cutting edge research outcomes in the areas of fabrication and control of nanoscale electronic devices.

We are seeking a Cryogenic Engineer to design mixed-signal hardware, focusing on CMOS and silicon germanium (SiGe) application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), to enable the next generation of quantum information devices. The ASIC requirements will initially include basic analog front-ends and data converters, and continue on to more advanced data converters and optimised hardware digital signal processing (DSP). The role will involve design and characterisation of fabricated circuits at deep cryogenic temperatures.

To be successful you will need to demonstrate:

• tertiary education with BS, MS or PhD degree in EE, ECE, CE or equivalent practical experience
• substantial VLSI experience, including Cadence software
• strong understanding of digital logic design and computer architecture
• strong understanding of analog design
• strong understanding of design verification principles and practices
• strong communication and teamwork skills
• experience with CMOS VLSI
• experience with embedded systems and FPGAs.

Desirable:

• experience with SiGe BiCMOS, and III-V semiconductors VLSI
• basic understanding of basic quantum mechanics and its application to EE
• experience with PCB design.

All applications must be submitted via the University of Sydney careers website.  Visit sydney.edu.au/recruitment and search by the reference number for more information and to apply.
