Mission

The Quantum Systems activity stems from the absorption by Exail of the start-up Muquans. It has developed unique expertise in the field of quantum sensors. These revolutionary instruments, at the frontiers of science and technology, are based on laser, optoelectronic, and ultra-high vacuum sub-assemblies, combining numerous functionalities and offering very high-level performance.

You will be working in a division of around 40 people. This diverse and dynamic team combines skills in optics, lasers, electronics, computing, systems, mechanics, ultra-high vacuum, and atomic physics.

Responsibilities:

1. Absolute quantum gravimeters capable of measuring gravity with a relative accuracy of 10^-9, dedicated to many geophysics applications including volcanology.
2. Differential quantum gravimeters measuring gravity's vertical gradient to 10^-10 g/m.
3. Laser-cooled microwave atomic clocks providing a time reference with a relative stability of 10^-15.

In this context, you will work on the quantum gravity sensors product line and perform the characterization of the instruments to ensure they meet the technical specifications. Your activities will include:

• Conducting test procedures on the quantum sensors following the existing internal process.
• Analyzing the data and validating the results with the rest of the team.
• Optimizing the system parameters to ensure the final measurement performance.
• Reporting on the results, writing relevant technical documents, and communicating with the end-users.
• Participating in post-sales customer support activities.

Profile:

Education:

• Master 2 in engineering or physics with specialization in optics, quantum physics, or measurement and instrumentation.
• A first experience will be appreciated.

Skills and abilities:

• Taste for experimental work (manipulation of setups and measurement instruments such as electronics, microwave, free-space and fiber optics, ultra-high vacuum).
• A strong scientific culture. Background in optics, quantum physics, or metrology will be particularly appreciated.
• Data analysis with Python.
• Scientific discipline.
• Interpersonal skills, team-oriented personality.
• Good communication skills for client interaction.
• Spoken and written English.
