The Quantum Systems activity stems from the absorption by Exail in 2021 of the start-up Muquans. It has developed unique expertise in the field of quantum sensors. These revolutionary instruments, at the frontiers of science and technology, are based on laser, optoelectronic and ultra-high vacuum sub-assemblies combining numerous functionalities and offering very high-level performance.

You will be working in a division of around 40 people. This diverse and dynamic team combines skills in optics, lasers, electronics, computing, systems, mechanics, ultra-high vacuum and atomic physics

Responsibilities :

The successful candidate will join the Quantum Instruments team in charge of developing and producing of :

• Absolute quantum gravimeters capable of measuring gravity with a relative accuracy of 10-9, dedicated to many geophysics applications including volcanology.
• Differential quantum gravimeters measuring gravity’s vertical gradient to 10-10 g/m
• Laser-cooled microwave atomic clocks providing a time reference with relative stability of 10‑15

In this context, you will work on the quantum gravity sensors product line. Your activities will include:

·       perform thorough characterization of instruments from the first tests of the experimental sequence to the final metrological assessment and in accordance with our internal processes, to make sure they meet the specifications

·       participate in post-sales customer support activities.

·       participate to communication during exhibitions or conferences.
