About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Characterize the current readout chain and define the specification
- Map the existing chain, including assembly time, defect rate, insertion losses, and footprint
- Define specifications with the operations and RF teams, including number of lines, MXC envelope, insertion loss budget, and thermalization requirements
- Study and select the mechanical architecture
- Compare a pre-cabled block with non-threaded connections and a block with a single plug interface to the MXC
- Benchmark compact components available on the market
- Build a decision matrix and defend the chosen architecture in design review
- Design the readout module
- Produce the CAD model, drawings, and costed bill of materials
- Select materials and design thermalization to the MXC plate
- Define torque specifications and perform the SMP tolerance stack-up
- Choose connectors compatible with future board-edge/PCB integration
- Write an assembly and inspection procedure for a subcontractor
- Build and validate a prototype in the cryostat
- Assemble the prototype and measure real assembly time
- Perform SOLT/SOLR calibration and S-parameter characterization at room temperature and cold
- Compare performance against the SMA reference chain and write a measurement report
- Recommend the path to industrialization
- Deliver a go/no-go recommendation based on measurement results
- Build an industrialization roadmap, including inputs for the phase-2 PCB study
- Work closely with the operations and RF teams to design, prototype, and validate a compact readout module
- Report to the Cryohardware Development Team
