Optoelectronics researcher for quantum sensor technologies - Permanent Position

Job description: Quantum technologies are strategic for the development of sensors with unrivalled performances, as we have demonstrated in magnetometry. Our challenge today is to adapt these developments and this know-how to new physics. To support our developments in quantum sensors, we are looking for an opto-electronics researcher to develop high-performance magnetic sensors, to design new quantum sensors and to develop the associated optical benches. This position will have a significant experimental component. Your main mission will be to participate to the development of these quantum sensors and their associated characterization benches, interfacing with CEA experts in the field. More specifically, your mission will revolve around the following actions: Design and assembly of quantum sensors (optical fibers, RF sources, photodetectors) Participation in modeling the physical phenomena involved Design and build the optical characterization benches Development of the control electronics Publication of results in scientific journals Presentation of work in international conferences Patents proposal Supervision of interns, PhD students, post-doctoral researchers Proposition of industrial and institutional projects, including European projects. Participation in the investment and equipment purchasing strategy.

Institute description: The main mission of CEA LETI's Autonomy and Sensor Integration Laboratory (LAIC) is to develop sensor systems, and in particular quantum sensors for high-precision magnetic field measurement applications. The team's activities are at the interface of hardware (electronics, optronics, semiconductors), software (artificial intelligence, signal processing) and systems (electronic architecture, mechatronics, multiphysics modeling). The Swarm project (https://swarm.cnes.fr/en/), which put our quantum sensors for measuring the Earth's magnetic field into orbit in 2013, is one of our track records, and a new program with similar objectives gets underway this year.

Your profile: Nous recherchons un profil inspirant et passionné qui intègrera le laboratoire en tant qu'ingénieur-chercheur en opto-électronique, avec les compétences suivantes : Doctorat ou Master en opto-électronique, en optique ou en photonique Une expérience confirmée en conception de systèmes optiques et de bancs de caractérisation, avec pilotage de lasers Une capacité à comprendre et modéliser des phénomènes physiques quantiques (interactions lumière/matière en particulier). Une expression maîtrisée en anglais (écrit et oral)
