Located in Malibu, California, HRL has been on the leading edge of technology, conducting pioneering research and advancing the state of the art.
HRL Laboratories is seeking a researcher with expertise in the theory of solid-state materials and devices to help develop emerging quantum information technologies. In this role, you will construct realistic physical models and numerical simulations to describe novel semiconductor-based devices such as quantum-dot spin qubits. You will work closely with a world-class team of scientists and engineers, providing theoretical input to device design, fabrication, and experimental analysis.
Responsibilities:
- Develop microscopic models of semiconductor heterostructure physics relevant to spin qubit operation and apply results to design devices and explain experiments.
- Develop and use numerical simulation tools to model the electronic structure, quantum transport, and other key characteristics of solid-state quantum devices.
- Effectively present results in technical presentations and collaborate with colleagues in a fast-paced heterogeneous team environment.
- Contribute to research reviews, proposals, and technical report writing.
Required Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related fields.
- U.S. citizenship is required. Active security clearance or ability to apply for security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Expertise in fundamental theory and computational modeling of the electronic, optical, thermal, and magnetic properties of solid-state materials and devices, particularly semiconductor heterostructures.
- Proficiency in C++ and Python. Experience with commercial multiphysics simulation software.
- Knowledge of numerical analysis and scientific computing techniques.
- Detailed understanding of semiconductor fabrication and characterization techniques, such as epitaxial growth, lithography, electrical characterization, optical spectroscopy, and/or microscopy.
- Direct experience working in close collaboration with experimental materials and device development groups.
Essential Physical/Mental Requirements:
Ability to spend extended periods of time at a computer monitor. Excellent problem solving skills and written and verbal communication skills. Ability and willingness to travel.
This position must meet Export Control compliance requirements, therefore a “U.S. Person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. ยง 120.15 is required. “U.S. Person” includes U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.
