Role Posting Log in to save

As an experienced analog/mixed-signal design engineer on a cutting-edge quantum control team, you will translate high-level system requirements into detailed circuit designs for CMOS circuits used in quantum computing. Your daily tasks include developing functional blocks for quantum control applications, collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize system performance, and performing simulation verification of custom analog and mixed-signal designs. You will also support the bring-up and characterization of ASICs, ensuring seamless integration with system-level hardware. Proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso and scripting languages like Python is essential, along with experience in cryogenic circuit design and low-temperature measurements. This role requires a deep understanding of analog building blocks such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and RF components, alongside familiarity with digital design languages like Verilog/SystemVerilog. Strong communication skills and the ability to contribute to technical publications are also crucial for success in this fast-paced research environment.
