Job description

Our company pushes the boundaries of innovation, redefines the leading edge of exotic new technologies, and drives advances in the sciences. One of our most challenging new fields is Transformational Computing, which combines the unique properties of superconductivity and quantum mechanics to develop radical new energy-efficient computing systems. Our team is chartered with providing the skills to transform computing beyond Moore's Law, advancing development of computer architectures, processing/memory subsystems, and large scale high performance computing systems. You'll work in a fast-paced team environment alongside a broad array of scientists and research engineers to make these processing solutions a reality and deliver remarkable new advantages to the warfighter.We have an engineering, fabrication, and test facility where our team is developing state of the art next generation superconducting electronics (SCE) and advanced computing technologies. We are currently in a growth mode and are looking for individuals with skillsets including (but not limitied to) the ones listed below who are interested in using their skills in a Top Secret/SCI w/ Counter Intelligence poly cleared level of work with the Defense Intelligence Agency R&D Sr. Principal /Principal Material Scientist Superconducting electronics forms the core of our technology, with a focus on energy-efficient computation including our patented superconducting digital logic technology, Reciprocal Quantum Logic (RQL). On a gate for gate basis, RQL consumes orders of magnitude less power than CMOS while running at significantly higher clock speeds. The Advanced Technology Lab is seeking Cryogenic Test Management engineers. The qualified candidate will become part of our Transformational Technology Business Area. Transformational Technology is focused on developing state-of-the-art next generation superconducting electronics (SCE) and advanced computing technologies. This position can be filled at the Principal Materials Scientist level OR Senior Principal Materials Scientist level. Qualifications for both are listed below: Basic Qualifications for a Principal Materials Scientist: Bachelor's of Science in: Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics or related field specializing in thermodynamics and heat transfer with 5 years of experience, a M.S Degree with 3 years of experience; 0 years with a PhD. Working knowledge of thermal analysis software (COMSOL, IcePak, Sinda/Fluint) or similar. Experience with and proficiency in: Problem solving and analytical skills Heat transfer and thermodynamics Experimental design Ability to communicate effectively to team members both verbally and in writing. Ability to adjust to changing priorities and requirements. Eligibility to obtain and hold a TS/SCI security clearance. Preferred Qualifications: Design and analysis experience simulating heat transfer within superconducting circuitry. Working knowledge of cryogenic test systems; dilution refrigeration, 4 K cryo-coolers, Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigeration (ADR) and liquid helium immersion. Experience in nanoscale heat transfer Experience in cryogenic system design and analysis Design and analysis experience simulating heat transfer within superconducting materials Experience in modeling mechanical structures in; Solidworks, NX or similar.
