About the Opportunity

We're seeking a highly skilled Senior Scientist to join our team of experts in quantum sensing. As a key member of our research and development team, you'll play a crucial role in developing next-generation small-form-factor quantum magnetometers that are exquisitely sensitive, ultrastable, and able to operate reliably in harsh fielded environments.

You'll work closely with our team of experts to develop quantum magnetometry technology that solves pressing challenges in aeronautical positioning and navigation, geophysical surveying, and magnetic anomaly detection. A key focus of the role will be developing and implementing methods for removing magnetic and/or vibrational noise induced by the platform on which the quantum sensor is mounted.

As a senior scientist, you'll be responsible for:

  • Developing and implementing algorithms, signal processing techniques, and automation protocols to improve the performance of our quantum sensors;
  • Collaborating with our research and engineering teams to deploy and validate your developed algorithms and sensing solutions on real quantum sensing hardware;
  • Sharing your insights and results with the broader Quantum Sensing Division, company, external stakeholders, and customers through verbal presentations and written outlets;

We're looking for someone who has a strong desire to work with a world-leading team and contribute to the development of cutting-edge quantum technology. If you're passionate about advancing the field of quantum sensing and have the skills and experience to match, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop novel software-layer control protocols and operating modes for optically-pumped atomic magnetometers;
  • Perform time series analysis and develop platform and environmental noise compensation techniques using state-of-the-art digital signal processing and machine learning methods;
  • Use data analytics to translate quantum sensor data streams into capabilities that solve pressing challenges for current and prospective end-users and customers;
  • Develop novel theoretical models and numerical simulation tools suitable for assessing the performance of quantum sensors in real-world environments;
Requirements
  • A PhD (or equivalent industry experience) in physics, electronic engineering, computer science, mathematics, or a closely related discipline;
  • Experience in the theory, numerical modelling, and/or optimization of one or more of the following: optically-pumped magnetometry in warm atomic vapour cells; quantum atomic physical systems; atom interferometry; pulse-level optimisation and quantum control techniques, digital signal processing (e.g. adaptive filtering, phase-sensitive detection);
  • Experience in time and frequency digital signal processing, e.g. adaptive filtering, Kalman filtering;
  • Contributing to a software system architecture with multiple components developed by different teams, adhering to best-practice software development precepts;
  • Experience communicating technical results to a wide and varied audience;
  • Experience with version control e.g. Git with CI/CD pipelines;
Desirable Skills
  • Experience in modern signal processing methods (e.g. Bayesian methods, particle filtering, sequential Monte Carlo methods);
  • Experience with modelling geometric / gaussian optics;
  • Experience in sensor modelling and sensor signal processing, including data fusion;
  • Familiarity with the Python programming language for scientific computing;
  • Familiarity with quantum and/or atomic physics at an undergraduate level;
  • Experience working in a multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, software developers;
