Senior Quantum Engineer

What we're looking for: You bring experience in quantum device design and radio-frequency (RF) simulation, familiarity with integrated circuit design workflows and tool development, and a passion for advancing quantum computing. Clear communication and effective interdisciplinary collaboration are central to this role.

Device Design: Develop QPU chip designs and interfaces to readout/control layers using simulation-driven, fabrication-aware workflows.

RF Simulation: Perform RF simulations of QPU chips and interface layers to define design requirements and optimize control/readout performance.

Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with fabrication, systems, packaging, and control teams to co-design QPUs, incorporating constraints and requirements.

Tool Development: Build and maintain design tools, functionalize devices into models, and enable co-design with internal teams and external partners.

Process Optimization: Apply integrated circuit design principles and engineering best practices to improve design processes and recommend optimizations. OtherEmbody our Culture and Values

Qualifications: Required/Minimum Qualifications Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years technical engineering experienceOR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experienceOR equivalent experience

Other Requirements: Microsoft Cloud Background CheckThis position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.

Citizenship & Citizenship Verification: This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or Export Administration Regulations, the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide either proof of their country of citizenship or proof of their U.S. permanent residency or other protected status (e.g., under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) for assessment of eligibility to access the export-controlled information. To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable.
