Our team at QTE, IMRE works on developing atomic magnetometers. We are searching for a highly motivated individual who is able to work independently and within a team to help with data acquisition and hardware programming in support of measurements to characterize our atomic vapor cells and atomic magnetometer. He/she will also be tasked to design opto-mechanical components and electronic circuits under the supervision of more senior researchers to build atomic magnetometers capable of measuring magnetic fields about 10 parts per billion smaller than Earth’s magnetic field, which will enable diverse applications ranging from brain imaging, explosives detection, and even searches for exotic physics.
