PsiQuantum seeks a senior R&D engineer to improve superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) for photonic quantum computers. The role centers on large-scale analysis of SNSPD data, film metrology, and design of experiments informed by microscopic superconductivity theory. The engineer would work with materials science, fabrication, testing, and layout teams on device and material designs for scalable, higher-temperature operation. The posting asks for more than five years in SNSPD design and development or adjacent superconductivity theory, condensed matter physics, or superconducting device design; a PhD is preferred but not required.
