Summary

Leads design, development, and testing of low-noise mixed-signal hardware for quantum computer control systems, including microwave pulse generation and qubit readout. Requires 10+ years in EE with expertise in analog/RF circuits, lab equipment, and cross-team leadership in dynamic environments.

About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with internal and external team members to generate system requirements
  • Capture circuit board schematic and layout for designs containing digital, analog, and RF components
  • Create and execute test plans using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and VNAs (also qubits!)

Required Qualifications

  • Previous experience working in startups or dynamic work environments
  • BS or MS degree in EE, or equivalent, with 10+ years experience
  • Ability to operate standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and VNAs)
  • Excellent communication skills and an ability to interact across different disciplines
  • Demonstrated success taking designs from conception through the full design cycle, including manufacturing and test

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with analog design and simulation (SPICE or equivalent)
  • Knowledge of signal processing concepts: Nyquist zones, convolution, cross-correlation, numerically-controlled oscillators
  • Focus on supporting other teams and a desire to jump in and help
  • Exposure to Verilog/VHDL and digital hardware design and FPGA development
  • Familiarity with Python scripting (especially scientific Python libraries like numpy and scipy)
  • Understanding of RF design and test
