Bell Labs Quantum Lab Technician

The team you'll be a part of

Nokia Bell Labs is the world-renowned research arm of Nokia, having invented many of the foundational technologies that underpin information and communications networks and all digital devices and systems. This research has produced ten Nobel Prizes, five Turing Awards and numerous other awards.

Bell Labs Quantum Research is a part of the AI Research Lab, which has a long tradition of excellence in research and currently consists of 80 staff members with expertise ranging from computer science to experimental condensed matter physics.Our Quantum Research team is actively developing topological qubits, the fundamental building block of future scalable quantum computers. This effort has a long history at Bell Labs dating back to the discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect in the 1980's.

Our experimental efforts are supported by state-of-the-art nanofabrication and low-temperature testing facilities at our Murray Hill, NJ headquarters. This includes in-house e-beam lithography, photolithography, material deposition, die-level processing and packaging, and imaging equipment along with a suite of wet and dry dilution refrigerators and high-speed, low-noise test and measurement equipment.

What you will learn and contribute to

You will work with and learn from world experts in topological quantum computing and contribute to our realization of a topological qubit. You will be responsible for the daily inspection and maintenance of laboratory equipment, purchase and inventory of lab supplies, and will assist in the design and fabrication of experimental testbeds. The successful applicant will:
* Regularly inspect and maintain liquid helium plants, helium gas recovery system, vacuum pumps, chillers, etc
* Refill liquid nitrogen and helium dewars
* Maintain records and logs as required
* Monitor process parameters to ensure quality and efficiency
* Collaborate with other team members to optimize production processes
* Perform soldering and minor electronics prototyping tasks
* Learn to perform basic testbed and device characterization procedures
* Perform basic machining and physical CAD for testbed construction and repair

Your skills and experience

You have:

• An Associate's, Bachelor's, or similar degree in engineering, physics, or related field
  Excellent oral / written communication skills
• Ability to take initiative, including asking for and offering help when needed and ability to perform work independently
• A desire to learn new things and work in a fast-paced and dynamic team

It would be nice if you also had experience with:

• Vacuum systems, gas handling, and liquid helium refrigeration systems
• Vacuum pumps (mechanical, turbo, and cryo), chillers, and heat exchangers
• Cryogenic plant experience is a plus
• Clean room experience is a plus
• Demonstrated attention to detail and ability to follow defined processes and procedure
• Demonstrated advanced troubleshooting / problem solving ability
