By design, our chip architecture decouples control lines from qubit count, removing a key bottleneck in scaling. It combines the proven reliability of superconducting circuits with a breakthrough approach to qubit control, paving the way for quantum computers capable of solving the world’s most challenging problems.
We are seeking aQuantum Design Engineerto support the design and optimization of superconducting qubits and quantum circuit architectures.
What You'll be doing
- Design superconducting qubits, couplers, and quantum circuits for scalable quantum processors
- Develop and optimize qubit architectures with respect to coherence, frequency crowding, control, and readout
- Perform electromagnetic and circuit-level simulations (participation ratios, loss channels, mode analysis)
- Analyze sensitivity to fabrication tolerances and process variations
- Define design rules that balance performance with manufacturability and yield
- Support the experimental team by interpreting measurement data and feeding results back into design iterations
- Contribute to system-level architectural choices (connectivity, coupling schemes, control simplification)
- Document designs, simulations, and design rationale for internal and external use
Requirements
- PhD or MSc in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Proficiency with EM and circuit simulation tools (e.g., HFSS, Sonnet, COMSOL, or equivalent)
- Background in superconducting qubit physics and circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED)
- Solid understanding of decoherence mechanisms and materials loss in superconducting devices
- Hands-on experience designing superconducting quantum circuits
- Ability to connect theoretical models with experimental constrai
