We are developing a new class of optomechanical which uses meta surfaces for optical control of mechanical motion. These systems would be powerful tools for sensing, fundamental physics, and quantum technologies. We are seeking a research engineer to help build the experimental system. This role involves hands on lab work such as:

• Set up and align optical systems.

• Assemble and maintain vacuum systems.

• Assist with electronics work and data acquisition.

• Run and maintain experiments to characterise mechanical motion and optical interactions.

Requirements:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Physics, Optics, Engineering, or related fields.

• Experience in any of the following is a plus (but not mandatory); Optics & lasers, Vacuum systems and/or Electronics.

• Programming (such as python, Mathematica, or MATLAB).

• We will provide training and supervision, so candidates do not need to have prior experience.

About us:

The Quantum Sensing and Metrology pillar works at the interface of optics, quantum sensing, and fundamental physics. We are based at the Quantum Innovation Centre (Q.InC), A*STAR, and collaborate closely with researchers across Singapore and internationally.
