Principal R&D Scientist OpportunityI am partnered with a high growth, deep tech startup of which are developing advanced quantum and photonic technologies. We are looking for a staff/principal level R&D scientist to join the device development team. You will be focused on the development, optimization and scale of superconducting nano-devices fabrication processes, playing a pivotal role in device performance.
Key responsibilities
- Lead R&D initiatives focused on superconducting nanodevices and advanced nanofabrication processes
- Drive process optimisation, scaling, and yield improvement across cleanroom fabrication workflows
- Design and execute experimental validation plans, including cryogenic device testing and characterisation
- Collaborate closely with production, systems engineering, and multidisciplinary R&D teams to support technology transfer and product development
- Analyse experimental and process data to guide device and fabrication improvements
Job requirements
- PhD in Physics, Nanotechnology or something related
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in cleanroom nanofabrication and superconducting or nanoscale device development
- Strong expertise in process development, optimisation, and scaling from R&D into production
- Experience with cryogenic systems, device testing, and experimental characterisation
- Familiarity with superconducting devices, quantum photonics, or related technologiesFollowing your application Amelia Pudney, a specialist recruiter will discuss the opportunity with you in detail. Amelia will be more than happy to answer any questions relating to the industry and the potential for your career growth. This position has been highly popular, and it is likely that it will close shortly. We recommend applying as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
