Quantum Engineer, Quantum Integrated Circuit Designer

Key Responsibilities

• Design, lay out, and simulate superconducting microwave integrated circuits for quantum processors
• Build CAD models of circuits and simulate them using commercial software (HFSS)
• Use custom simulation tools (Python, Julia) to model the steady-state and dynamic behavior of quantum systems
• Collaborate with fabrication and experimental teams to determine different circuit architectures to fabricate and measure

Preferred Qualifications

• Undergraduate degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Undergraduate-level knowledge of circuit theory (design and analysis of DC and RF electrical circuits)
• Demonstrated experience with microwave engineering
• Experience using commercial electromagnetic solvers (HFSS, COMSOL, CST)
• Formal mathematical skills, specifically linear algebra and analysis
• Programming skills in Python for scientific applications, ideally in an industry or highly collaborative environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to excel in a collaborative environment
• Excellent communication skills

Nice to Have

• Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Physics or a related field
• Experience with 2D CAD tools for circuit layout and the GDS file format
• Experience with gdspy or similar for automated circuit layout
• Understanding of quantum mechanics, preferably including circuit quantum electrodynamics
• Knowledge of computational modeling, in particular of quantum circuits, integrated or lumped element electrical circuits
• Demonstrated contributions to open source software
• Understanding of semiconductor fabrication processes
• Experience in a technical role within an industry or startup environment
