Research Associates in CMOS RF IC Design for Quantum Computing (4x)

All posts are full-time and we have 2 positions funded for up to 18 months, and 2 positions funded for up to 19 months in the first instance

The James Watt School of Engineering is looking for four Research Associates to make a leading contribution to Altnaharra: Cryoelectronics for Quantum Circuits project with the Microelectronics Lab (meLAB), Prof Hadi Heidari, and the Quantum Circuits Group (QCG), Prof Martin Weides, at the James Watt School of Engineering. 

The project aims to develop a cryoelectronics interface for quantum devices in quantum computers. The project aims to design and test high-performance and power-efficient quantum control and readout integrated circuits in GF 22nm FDSOI CMOS technology to operate them at cryogenic temperatures (4K and below).

The successful candidates will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.

We are looking for FOUR Research Associates that the posts require experience in some or all of the following:

•  Tape-out experience (design/layout/test) with on-chip analogue/RF blocks: ADC/DAC, LNA, PA, PLL/VCO blocks, mixers, baseband filters and amplifiers in (deep) sub-micron CMOS technology.
•  Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as spectrum analyser, VNA, vector signal generator
•  Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, and similar tools.
•  Testing and characterisation of fabricated chips

The Successful candidate should have achieved a Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework level 12 (PhD) or alternatively possess the equivalent in professional qualifications and experience, with experience of personal development in a similar or related role(s)

Informal enquiries about the role are welcomed, and should be addressed to Professor Hadi Heidari (Hadi.Heidari@glasgow.ac.uk) and Professor Martin Weides (Martin.Weides@glasgow.ac.uk) in the first instance.
