TL;DR · Senior Quantum Design Verification Engineer

As a Senior Quantum Design Verification Engineer on the Quantum 1st Party Hardware System-on-a-Chip team, you will lead the development of verification infrastructure for quantum systems. You will be responsible for defining pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon validation plans for SoC and intellectual property designs while managing bug-tracking systems and milestone reviews. Your daily work involves creating testplans for digital and analog components, performing Analog Mixed Signal Simulation models, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet specifications. You will utilize tools and languages including Python, Ruby, Perl, C, C++, Matlab, and Visual Studio Code. The role focuses on the technical challenge of scaling up topological qubits and quantum systems by developing robust verification environments for complex hardware architectures at the intersection of high-performance computing and quantum information technology.

What you'll do

  • Create verification environments and test plans for IP and SoC level designs.
  • Validate designs in simulation using both pre- and post-layout RTL and netlists.
  • Manage bug-tracking systems and coordinate milestone reviews and status reporting.
  • Perform Analog Mixed Signal Simulation models and verify digital and analog components.
  • Coordinate with Design for Test teams to validate specific DFT features.
  • Drive the continuous improvement of design verification processes for large-scale execution.
  • Automate simulation and data analysis environments using scripting languages like Python or MATLAB.

What we're looking for

  • A Doctorate in Physics or Engineering with 1+ years of R&D experience, a Master's with 4+ years, or a Bachelor's with 6+ years.
  • Ability to pass Microsoft Cloud Background Checks and meet export control regulations (ITAR/EAR).
  • Proof of citizenship or U.S. permanent residency is required for access to export-controlled information.
  • Experience in design verification for complex SoC IPs and systems.
  • Expertise in verification principles, testbenches, stimulus generation, and creating simulation environments.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, or Perl.
  • Ability to write tests in C and C++.
  • Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years.
