Full Time Research Fellow (Quantum Engineering) Jobs, in National University Of Singapore Central Region (Singapore) - Maukerja

Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to join our growing team developing diamond-based quantum and optomechanical platforms. The primary focus of this role is develop diamond nanofabrication capability in NUS targeting optomechanical and photonic applications. This includes the design, fabrication, and characterization of diamond nanostructures and devices. Experience with NV-center-based quantum imaging will be a strong secondary advantage, particularly for translating fabricated diamond devices towards sensing and imaging novel materials.

The successful candidate will play a key role in building up an ambitious research programme at the interface of diamond nanofabrication, Brillouin/cavity optomechanics, and quantum technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Diamond nanofabrication: Develop and optimize processes for fabricating single-crystal diamond nanostructures, including waveguides, cavities, optomechanical resonators, nanopillars, and related devices.
• Device design and characterization: Work on the design, simulation, fabrication, and optical/mechanical characterization of diamond photonic and optomechanical devices.
• Process development : Establish robust fabrication workflows involving lithography, dry etching, thin-film processing, metallization, release/quasi-release/release-free processes, and surface treatment.
• Optomechanical applications : Contribute to experiments involving Brillouin physics/light–matter interactions in nanostructured diamond.
• NV imaging integration : Support the development or use of NV-center imaging platforms where relevant, including widefield or scanning-probe diamond microscopy of novel materials and devices.
• Team leadership and collaboration: Work closely with PhD students, research engineers, and undergraduates, and help lead/guide junior team members in fabrication, device design, and experimental methods.
• Cross-disciplinary research: Engage with related areas such as quantum materials, magnetism, integrated photonic circuits, and quantum measurements of spin and/or phonon to identify new applications including quantum sensing, transduction and interconnects.
