About the job

In this role, you will be a member of the quantum electronics team, contributing to our implementation of electronics for control and readout of our current and future quantum computers. You will work with a team of FPGA designers and RF/Analog or Mixed-Signal (AMS) hardware engineers, collaborating with adjacent teams in the electronic, software, and quantum engineering areas to implement systems for use in the readout and control of our scaled quantum processors and deploy these systems to our quantum computers. You will develop an understanding of the electronic control and measurement needs of quantum computers. You will leverage domain-specific expertise to own and implement RF or mixed-signal systems of moderate-complexity and to contribute to implementation of RF or mixed-signal systems of high-complexity. You will participate in characterization of implemented systems as well as the deployment of these systems into our quantum computers.
