RFIC / Quantum Hardware Design Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled RFIC / Quantum Hardware Design Engineer to join our cutting‑edge team focused on superconducting chip fabrication. The role involves owning the microwave design, electromagnetic simulation, and physical layout that transforms our quantum‑processor architecture into silicon chips.

Key responsibilities

• Perform electromagnetic and circuit simulations of qubits, tunable couplers, and readout circuits, including classical‑to‑quantum modeling and black‑box quantization.
• Develop new simulation methodologies and scale them to large qubit counts.
• Design and optimize the on‑chip electromagnetic environment across the processor.
• Collaborate with fabrication and measurement teams to innovate 3D‑integration and fabrication processes.
• Take quantum circuit concepts through physical layout to tape‑out.

Required profile

• Strong background in microwave/RF design and electromagnetic simulation.
• Experience with EM tools such as HFSS, Sonnet, or COMSOL.
• Hands‑on experience with physical layout and GDS generation, with a design‑for‑fabrication mindset.
• Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in electrical engineering, applied physics, or a related field is a plus.
• Working knowledge of quantum computing, superconducting qubits, and quantum circuit design is advantageous.
• Programming skills for design automation are a plus.
