Electronics Engineering Intern

Introduction

Atomionics is looking for an electronics engineering intern to assist the senior electronics engineer in miniaturizing the current cold atom interferometry setup. Optimal production of laser cooled atoms in a magneto-optical trap requires optimization of several trap parameters, such as optical power of different beams, their frequencies, time sequences, magnetic coil currents at different stages of cooling, and trapping of atoms. The intern will get the chance to work on schematic circuit development, PCB layout, PCBA prototyping, component evaluation, and firmware programming among other things.

Responsibilities

• Build and Debug electronic systems (data-acquisition systems, electro-mechanical devices, optoelectronics etc.)
• Work closely with physicists & engineers to build control systems and embedded software for the atom-interferometry system
• Design, manufacture and evaluate electronic circuits

About you

• An absolutely driven individual with creative problem solving skills, analytical mind, and persistence, ideally, demonstrated
• Well-versed in basic electronics - knowledge of fundamental circuits and their operation
• Able to program and debug in C, C++, or Python, with some experience in programming embedded systems
• Experience with PCB design (and familiarity with at least one EDA software), assembly and testing of analog, digital and mixed signal circuits

Even better if you have

• Worked in a technical student team, or an early stage company environment
• Worked on personal hobby projects (and can brag about them!)

What we can offer you

• A chance to learn about the intricacies of deep tech research, product development, and strategy in a high-growth startup
• Work on the cutting edge of quantum technology
• Develop robust applications for translational research
• A book allowance to help you grow and collectively build the Atomionics library
• Board games and curry night
