Job Description

The Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory develops quantum systems, including theory, engineering, and control, to address critical future technology needs. Areas of focus include developing superconducting qubits for quantum computing, trapped ions for quantum information and precision time keeping, integrated photonics, and solid-state quantum sensing. The group’s innovative research is supported by on-site state-of-the-art fabrication tools, close partnership with universities and industry, extensive test and measurement infrastructure, and daily collaboration with the 1700+ Ph.D-level scientists within Lincoln Laboratory.

Assistant Staff – Physicist / Applied Physicist / Electrical Engineer

MIT Lincoln Laboratory seeks a highly motivated, detail-oriented, curious and driven physicist, applied physicist, or electrical engineer with hands-on lab experience. The successful candidate will join a close-knit, dynamic team pushing the forefront of quantum sensing. As an active participant in cutting-edge research and development, the candidate can expect to face novel physics problems that require creative solutions on a daily basis.

Applicants should have a broad skillset and a willingness to work on a wide variety of tasks as needed. Typical tasks are:

• Fundamental physics modelling of quantum systems

• Data analysis

• Hardware development, design, and construction

• System engineering and system integration
