Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Nomad Atomics Full time

Who we are

Nomad Atomics is on a mission to make the broad uptake of quantum sensing a reality and simultaneously push the limits of our field beyond what we think is possible. We are building the world's most advanced fit-for-purpose quantum sensors to allow us to see the world like never before.

Our team is made up of leaders in the quantum sensing field. We believe the time for commercial quantum sensing has come, and we are determined with making it happen.

We are growing here at Nomad Atomics – FAST. We are searching for people who want to finally take the commercial sensing game into the modern era of technology.

Who you are

You are a voracious learner, and you love building things. You do not shy away from taking on the impossible. You apply these principles to all parts of science and engineering and are excited to operate at the forefront of technology development. You are an expert in your field and are ready to jump headfirst into the strange world of quantum sensing.

It's ok if you don't have all the skills yet to build a quantum sensor, because you'll work with a global team of experts to fill in the gaps. You may have come from a large corporation but the idea of working in a fast-paced, highly iterative, and integrated team is exciting.

Your role

Working hand in hand with a cross-functional team, you'll be responsible for driving and managing a research and development program in our lab. This is an exceptionally hands-on role requiring a broad skill set, including the design, integration, and operation of atomic quantum sensors.

You will be responsible for and deeply embedded in the end-to-end development and deployment of our sensors and will be engaged daily in tasks like:

  • Provide technical guidance and directions to a team of physicists and engineers.
  • Designing and prototyping optical, mechanical and electronics subsystems.
  • Optimisation and ruggedisation of atomic sensors for practical applications.
  • Atomic sensor integration, optimisation and deployment in real-world environments.

Requirements

It's not about specifically where you have come from nor what qualifications you have. What truly matters is that you are an impossibly fast learner and can demonstrate the following skillset:

  • Minimum PhD in atomic, molecular or quantum physics
  • Familiarity with laser spectroscopy, laser-cooling and atom interferometry of atomic species
  • Aptitude towards programming and automation. Competence with Python for lab instrumentation, control systems and data analysis is preferred
  • Expertise with ultra-high vacuum systems
  • Narrow linewidth lasers and frequency stabilization
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to work independently and in a team environment
  • Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
  • The ability to acquire within a reasonable timeframe the appropriate Australian government security clearance level is preferred.

The role is full-time and based in Melbourne, Australia.

Benefits

  • $120 - $160k AUD plus 11.5% super, depending on experience of the applicant
  • Employee Share Options (ESOP)
  • Flexible work hours: choose which hours you work to meet your work and lifestyle goals
  • A bespoke relocation package to meet your needs including but not limited to flights, temporary accommodation, shipping expenses, family support and VISA sponsorship etc.
  • 18 weeks paid parental leave
  • Career development allowance

Nomad Atomics values diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from people with diverse backgrounds. If you think you're right for the role, but don't have some of these skills, reach out – we'd love to talk anyway
