Simone Callegari

I am an engineer with more than 5 years of experience in international research projects and I am looking for a professional position in industry that matches my skills in the fields of materials physics, mechanics and electronics. My last experience in PTB has strengthened my communication skills while leading a team. I would like to broaden my professional horizons and gain new experience in a motivating environment offering development prospects.

GERMAN NATIONAL METROLOGY CENTER (PTB) (~2000 employees) Hannover, Germany

Team Leader/Research associate (post-doc) MAY. 2021 - Now

• Tasked to reach the lowest ever achievable error budget during quantum computer operation, I have put in place a facility for vacuum, electrical, mechanical testing that can achieve a value of 10 times better computation time for Quantum Valley Lower Saxony Q1 computer that aims to be the first 50 Q-bit quantum computer based on ion traps.
• With the aim to create a completely automatised facility, I supervised a student to develop an analytics interface to remotely monitor and operate instrumentation, that is now operational and it will be implemented in the computer.
• In charge of giving projects updates during project meetings, I developed a recognised knowhow in the field and I performed invited presentations at ETH and Max Plank Institute.

R&D Project Engineer/Fellow JAN. 2017– JUL. 2019

• Learned about science and technology in one of the most stimulating research groups in the planet.
• Tasked to create an experimental infrastructure that could provide data for the operation of the Large Hadron Collider with the newest upgrade, i was in charge of a 80k budget to create a test bench that is now used routinely for accelerators.
• Participating in a team of 5 to multiple operations in the Large Hadron Collider we prepared some vacuums sectors to be able to circulate the proton beam.

Manufacturing Engineer Specialist Assistant/Special Processes Assistant FEB. 2016– DEC. 2016

• Tasked to develop a technological process for industrialisation of a new turbine that now mounts on 90% of civil planes, i designed some tools that are now used for the mass production.
