Barrington James; Madrid; Presencial; EUR 60.000 - 80.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

A leading technology firm in Madrid is looking for a Senior Technical Contributor to join their simulations and design team. This role involves applying expertise in advanced atom optics and laser cooling to develop core technologies. Candidates should have a strong foundation in AMO physics, experience with laser cooling, and proficiency in scientific programming. The position offers an exciting opportunity to bridge theoretical and practical work in a dynamic team environment.

Formación

• Strong graduate-level foundation in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics.
• Expertise in laser cooling and atom-light interactions.
• Proficiency in scientific programming—Python or Julia required for modeling and simulation.

Responsabilidades

• Develop and implement models of laser cooling and atom-light interactions.
• Simulate atomic beam dynamics, including trapping and interferometry.
• Design experimental setups and collaborate with experimental teams.

Descripción del empleo

As a senior technical contributor on the simulations and design team, you will apply your expertise in advanced atom optics and laser cooling to guide the development of core technologies. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the technical roadmap for atom control and manipulation, and will lead hands-on efforts in physics-based modeling, simulations, and computational development.

The role includes:

1. Developing and implementing models and simulations of laser cooling (e.g., Doppler, Raman) and atom-light interactions for neutral atom lithography.
2. Simulating atomic beam dynamics, including trapping, deflection, and interferometry, using tools like Julia, Python, or C++.
3. Designing experimental setups and optical/vacuum components for atom manipulation, collaborating with the experimental team to bridge theory and practice.
4. Collaborating with experimental teams to design optical systems and validate models against data.
5. Staying current in AMO physics and quantum optics.

Requirements include:

• A strong graduate-level foundation in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics, with expertise in laser cooling, atom-light interactions, quantum optics, and coherent control.
• Solid understanding of both classical and quantum optics, including laser physics.
• Advanced laser cooling techniques (e.g., Doppler, optical molasses, Sisyphus cooling, Raman, bichromatic/rectified dipole forces).
• Proficiency in scientific programming—Python or Julia required for modeling and simulation.

Additional experience with C++, MATLAB, or COMSOL is a plus.

This position is highly popular and may close soon. We recommend applying promptly to avoid missing out.
