The Quantum Systems Stability & Sensitivity Engineer joins the Quantum Hardware organization to support electronics rack assembly, instrumentation integration, and lab operations for quantum hardware test environments. This role involves building and maintaining clean, repeatable room-temperature rack configurations, installing rack-mounted instruments, and managing power distribution, RF hardware, and cabling. The engineer performs first-line debug for RF signal paths, control hardware, and networked equipment while ensuring adherence to ESD and safety best practices. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python 3.x for automation and data collection, familiarity with DHCP and networking best practices, and experience with RF hardware and cabling. The position addresses the technical challenge of developing stable, high-performance electronics infrastructure necessary for advanced quantum information technology and hardware testing.

What you'll do

  • Assemble, cable, label, and maintain room-temperature electronics racks for laboratory instrumentation and test infrastructure.
  • Install and configure rack-mounted instruments, power distribution, RF hardware, and network-connected equipment.
  • Perform first-line debug for RF signal paths, control hardware, and software-controlled measurement setups.
  • Use Python 3.x scripts and custom libraries to automate instrument control, configuration checks, and data collection.
  • Configure and troubleshoot network connectivity using DHCP and networking best practices for laboratory equipment.
  • Operate lab tools and equipment in compliance with ESD, safety, and electronics lab best practices.
  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate hardware development, performance modeling, and task automation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Ability to pass the Microsoft Cloud Background Check and meet export control regulations.
  • Proof of country of citizenship or U.S. permanent residency or other protected status.
  • Master's Degree in a related engineering field, or a Bachelor's Degree with 2+ years of technical engineering experience (preferred).
  • Experience in both corporate and research laboratory settings (preferred).
  • At least 1 year of experience in an electronics laboratory setting (preferred).
  • Familiarity with RF hardware, cabling, standards, and amplification methods like lock-in amplifiers (preferred).
  • 2+ years of experience using Python 3.x in a physics laboratory environment (preferred).
