As a Quantum Systems Engineer at Photonic, you will be integral member of the hardware team, responsible for designing and developing qubit architectures for scalable quantum computing. You will work closely with high-performing teams of product engineers and scientists with expertise spanning device physics to classical computer architecture and compilers. Together, you will develop, prototype, and implement key solutions for our silicon-based quantum computer architecture. In this role, you will draw on your academic expertise, as well as your critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

What we need you to do:

• Design and develop hardware based on qubit architectures for scalable quantum computing
• Design and model qubit architectures for scalable quantum computing
• Develop and implement protocols for qubit initialization, control, readout, and entanglement
• Translate fundamental physics into engineering specifications
• Establish and coordinate processes to design, create, and integrate technical components to deliver silicon-based quantum computing
• Design and execute experiments to make efficient progress toward systems-level improvements. Measure performance and present feedback to the design team
• Diagnose and resolve complex interactions between RF, digital, power and software systems
• Collaborate with the other teams to tailor fault-tolerant architectures to real-world silicon devices and develop hardware towards fault-tolerance
• Explore how quantum devices can optimize key performance factors such as fidelity, connectivity, coherence, scalability, reliability, and efficiency
• Prototype quantum algorithm ideas, support running proof of concept experiments, collect and analyze data on simulators, emulators or hardware platforms as they become available
• Write patents and peer-reviewed articles reporting advances where applicable
• Introduce, train, and guide new team members to the concepts of quantum physics and computing

What you bring to our team:

• Masters or PhD in Electrical engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, or related field
• 3-5 years of experience in the field of quantum computing and/or engineering
• Experimental quantum technology expertise in quantum optics, spin qubits, photon-spin interfaces, and quantum control and measurement
• Experience working at the interface of condensed matter physics and quantum information science
• Experience with quantum architecture best practices
• Proficiency in working with Python or other modern programming languages
• Ability to be flexible and adapt to new situations in rapidly changing research environment
• Demonstrated ability to creatively solve engineering problems
• Outstanding teamwork skills
• Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills

Exceptional candidates will have one or more of:

• Experience with electronic layout and simulation tools like Altium Designer, CAD-PSpice, Cadence, or equivalent
• Familiarity with RF/Microwave circuit design and measurement, High-frequency signals, EMI, and EMC
• Proven experience designing and optimizing electronic circuits and systems
• Proficiency in electronic bench experiments with tools such as meters, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, etc.
• Experience with timing and concurrency. Specifically hard real-time, synchronous, and asynchronous coordination.
• Familiarity with electronics designed for vacuum and cryogenic operation is a plus
