SLAC Job Postings

Position Overview:

Q-NEXT ( is a multi-institutional organization dedicated to advancing quantum information science. As a co-leading institution, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory plays important primary roles in Q-NEXT including serving as a superconducting quantum foundry with a dedicated newly constructed ISO 5 (Class 100) cleanroom. SLAC's Detector Microfabrication Facility (DMF) has begun installing its suite of tools optimized to produce some of the most advanced quantum sensors and devices in the world with well-controlled, high-yield, high-Q processes.

The Q-NEXT Department at SLAC is seeking outstanding candidates to establish a high-functioning team of scientists and engineers dedicated to the task of developing and refining superconducting fabrication processes and cryogenic testing capabilities. Treating fabrication as an experimental process and the cleanroom as a high-tech laboratory, the ideal candidates have a strong desire to solve long-standing superconducting fabrication challenges by creating new techniques and standards.

Your specific responsibilities include:

Assist in superconducting fabrication for high-yield quantum devices
Contribute to process development for fabrication of quantum devices
Support metrology and detailed analysis of fabrication data
Participate in cryogenic testing of superconducting devices with dilution refrigerator and microwave electronics
Assist in understanding device physics through correlation of cryogenic and in-situ measurements
Contribute to training and developing fabrication teams for higher throughput operation
Provide hands-on customization and troubleshooting of fabrication tools
Support the publication of scientific papers and presentations of findings at conferences
Collaborate with outside scientists and engineers to develop fabrication and testing plans

Note: This is a 24-month fixed term position with the possibility of extension or conversion to regular continuing position contingent on project fundings and business needs.

To be successful in this position you will bring:

BS, MS, or equivalent in physics, applied physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, or related fields with relevant experience in superconducting device fabrication
Fundamental knowledge and practical experience with clean room tools, vacuum system hardware, and supporting systems
Basic experience with cryogenic systems and superconducting device characterization testing for fabrication process development
Familiarity with process development and optimization, metrology, and device characterization methods
Experience with quantum bits, parametric amplifiers, resonators, kinetic inductance detectors, transition edge sensors, SQUIDs, or similar devices is a plus
Effective communication and writing skills for preparing and presenting technical and scientific documentation
Ability to work and communicate effectively with a diverse population
Ability to collaborate in a team environment

SLAC Employee Competencies:

Effective Decisions: Uses job knowledge and solid judgment to make quality decisions in a timely manner.

Consistent with its obligations under the law, the University will provide reasonable accommodation to any employee with a disability who requires accommodation to perform the essential functions of the job.
Given the nature of this position, SLAC will require onsite work full time.

Work Standards:

Interpersonal Skills: Demonstrates the ability to work well with Stanford colleagues and clients and with external organizations.
Promote Culture of Safety: Demonstrates commitment to personal responsibility and value for environment, safety and security; communicates related concerns; uses and promotes safe behaviors based on training and lessons learned. Meets the applicable roles and responsibilities as described in the ESH Manual, Chapter 1¿General Policy and Responsibilities:
Subject to and expected to comply with all applicable University policies and procedures, including but not limited to the personnel policies and other policies found in the University's Administrative Guide,
As a national laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is responsible for adhering to the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and Department of Energy (DOE) Order 473.1A, which require employees to obtain and maintain a HSPD-12 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credential. To obtain this credential, employees must successfully complete the applicable tier of federal background investigation post hire and receive a favorable federal adjudication. The tier of federal background investigation will be determined by job duties and national security or public trust responsibilities associated with the job. All tiers of investigation include a declaration of illegal drug activities, including use, supply, possession, or manufacture within the last 1 to 7 years (depending on the applicable tier of investigation). Illegal drug activities include marijuana and cannabis derivatives, which are still considered illegal under federal law, regardless of state laws.
