The opportunity
- Are you a passionate engineer ready to push the boundaries of quantum sensor technology?
- Want toexpand your professional experience in an exciting booming new technology?
- Join CSIRO and build your career with Australia's premier scientific organisation
CSIRO Early Research Career(CERC) Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate or master's degree and have less than three years of relevant work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
CSIRO Manufacturing is seeking a highly skilled and innovative Engineering Fellow with a passion for cutting-edge science to spearhead the engineering task of miniaturising a Nitrogen-Vacancy based quantum diamond (NVD) magnetometer.They will work with a multidisciplinary team with both fundamental physics and engineering expertise to develop a deep understanding of quantum diamond sensing technology. Ultimately, the CERC fellow will lead the effort to develop a compact, rugged NVD sensor suitable for unmanned aerial applications.
The Fellow will also have the opportunity to connect to the vibrant Quantum Future Science Platform (QFSP) research hub, state-of-the-art quantum device fabrication facilities, as well as a strong engineering network with CSIRO Engineering Services and Sensor Prototyping Hub.
Your duties will include:
- Design electronics hardware and develop algorithms to improve signal-to-noise ratio in a NVD sensor.
- Test NVD sensor prototype on a mobile platform.
- Miniaturise prototype system for magnetometry measurement.
- Work as part of a larger team focused on the translation of quantum sensors onto industry relevant applications.
Location:Melbourne (Clayton), VIC
Salary: AU$96k - AU$105k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of 3 years
Reference: 97367
To be considered you will need:
- A doctorate OR an engineering degree plus a Master of Science (MSc) or Master of Engineering (MEng) qualificationplus up to three years of significant contributions to research and development.The doctorate or master's must be in a relevant discipline area, such as Electronics, Mechatronics Engineering or Optoelectronics.Please note: To beeligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (full-time equivalent) of postgraduate research experience.
