Development and management of a component testing platform for quantum sensors based on Rydberg atoms for applications in radio frequency field metrology.
The Light, Matter and Interfaces Laboratory is a joint unit of the CNRS (UMR 9024), ENS Paris-Saclay, Paris-Saclay University and CentraleSupélec, located on the Saclay plateau (Orsay and Gif-sur-Yvette). It comprises around 30 permanent researchers and teacher-researchers, a dozen technical and administrative staff, and around 40 doctoral students and non-permanent researchers. The laboratory specializes in photonics applied to various fields of physics, engineering sciences, materials, biology, and quantum technologies. The engineer will be a member of the laboratory’s technical department, reporting directly to the unit director. He/she will work primarily on the Rydberg atom-based quantum sensor development platform located in building 505 of the Orsay Faculty of Science, in collaboration with two permanent LuMIn researchers, post-doctoral students, technicians (mechanical, laser, electronic), engineers, and doctoral students from LuMIn, as well as French and foreign partner laboratories and industrial partners, in order to make the platform’s resources available to the community and participate in the technological development of radiofrequency field quantum sensors.
ONERA, a key player in aeronautics and space research, employs more than 2,200 people. Under the supervision of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, it has a budget of €336 million (2024), more than half of which comes from study, research, and testing contracts. As a state expert, ONERA is preparing for tomorrow’s defense, responding to the aeronautics and space challenges of the future, and contributing to the competitiveness of the aerospace industry. It has expertise in all disciplines and technologies in the field. All major civil and military aerospace programs in France and Europe carry a part of ONERA’s DNA: Ariane, Airbus, Falcon, Rafale, missiles, helicopters, engines, radars, etc. Internationally recognized and often award-winning, its researchers train many doctoral students.
The Multi-Physics for Energy Department conducts research and studies for the benefit of manufacturers and government agencies in the civil and military aerospace sectors, while also working closely with the academic world. The Department’s activities are divided into six strategic areas: Innovative energy systems; Propulsion system performance; Testing under representative conditions; Multiphysics modeling and simulation; Safety and environmental impact; Multiphysics software platforms.
At the DMPE, you will be attached to the MPA (Modeling for Aerobic Propulsion) unit, which works mainly on the numerical simulation of combustion chambers for turbomachines and ramjets/ramjet-turbojets. This team implements and (co-)develops tools ranging from a systems approach for complete engine performance to multi-physics CFD simulation for more detailed studies (combustion chambers, engines, or complete hypersonic vehicles).
Your work will be part of a research project on hypersonics (MIHYSYS project) and will be carried out at ONERA’s Q-Tech quantum laboratory, in collaboration with, among others, the head of the quantum computing division.
Your responsibilities will consist of studying the applications of quantum computing to the simulation of multiphysics flows for aeronautical propulsion (reactive and/or two-phase flows, turbulent flows, etc.). Your activities will be broken down as follows:
This position will be covered by a permanent contract or a research project or operation contract for the MIHYSYS project, with an expected duration of 39 months.
Joining ONERA means much more than just joining France’s leading aerospace research organization. It means embarking on an adventure where every day is an opportunity to innovate, push the boundaries of knowledge, and build the future.
At ONERA, we promote a healthy work-life balance. We offer a stimulating environment that encourages the continuous training of our employees, allowing everyone to develop and flourish. Our company is committed to a policy of integrating and retaining people with disabilities in the workplace. Our professional equality index of 95/100, established in 2023, reflects our commitment to diversity.
At ONERA, we firmly believe that the diversity of our teams is a strength that enriches our work and our innovations. Together, we can shape the future of aeronautics, defense, and space. Join ONERA and take flight toward the future.
Reserved for CNRS agents (civil servants and permanent contract employees) and civil servants and permanent contract employees under public law.
The research engineer recruited will be assigned to support the development of new experiments in the Optics and Atomic Interferometry, Atomic Spectroscopy at Interfaces, Biomolecules and Spectroscopy, and Metrology, Molecules and Fundamental Tests teams. These teams share a common culture both from a scientific point of view (atoms and molecules, matter-radiation interaction) and from a technical point of view (lasers, optics, electronic and computer control of experiments, vacuum techniques, cryogenics).
Within these teams, and with a privileged link to the LPL’s mechanical, electronic, and optical services, he/she will be responsible for the design, implementation, and development of complex and specialized experimental devices in the field of laser-atom or laser-molecule interactions.
The Laser Physics Laboratory (LPL) is an experimental physics research laboratory. It is supervised by the CNRS (CNRS Physics) and Paris XIII University, known as Sorbonne Paris Nord University (USPN). Its premises are located on the Villetaneuse campus in the buildings of the Galileo Institute. The LPL has around 90 staff, including 55 permanent employees and 35 doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, and other fixed-term contract employees. Its research topics include quantum gases, interactions between light and atoms or molecules, photonic devices, and optics for biomedical applications.
Experimental developments play a central role in the LPL’s work, and the engineer will participate in various projects involving instrumentation, optics, lasers, or vacuum chambers, depending on the needs of the laboratory teams.
