Sr. Advanced ASIC Engineer

Description

We are seeking a Sr. Advanced ASIC Engineer in Broomfield, CO or remote to join the team developing our Apollo & Lumos quantum computers (Quantinuum system roadmap). The ideal candidate will be a mid‑career Electrical Engineer with a background in ASIC design, interaction with fabs, and integration with complex electrical systems.

As an ASIC Engineer, you will work alongside other ASIC developers and 3rd‑party foundries to refine system architecture, prototype and design ASICs for our quantum computers. You will play a key role in developing and defining ASIC technologies to enable our systems in a fast‑paced, multi‑functional, and technically challenging environment.

• Architect and implement ASICs in service of Quantinuum’s quantum computer roadmap and goals.
• Translate quantum computer requirements and customer needs into a comprehensive plan to integrate ASICs into the broader roadmap and address scalability challenges.
• Deploy ASICs in challenging environments such as cryogenic temperatures, ultra‑high vacuum, and near noise‑sensitive devices.
• Identify key enabling technology areas for ASIC development and manage feasibility studies, prototyping, and risk reduction activities.
• Plan and manage execution of ASIC development from concept to integration.
• Provide technical expertise that informs future product development and process improvements across the organization.
• Work in an R&D and rapid prototyping environment.

• Bachelor’s Degree minimum.
• 5+ years of experience in an engineering or R&D environment.
• 3+ years of experience in analog ASIC tool flows and technologies.
• 3+ years of experience with the specification, development, verification and test of analog ASIC technologies.
• U.S. Person status: U.S. citizen, permanent resident, green card holder, or granted asylum/refugee status.
• Not a People’s Republic of China national or Russian national unless also a U.S. citizen.

• Master’s/PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 8+ years of industry experience in an engineering or R&D environment.
• Full‑custom analog ASIC development experience with proven ability to deliver into production.
• Hands‑on experience in ASIC device models, design, synthesis, simulation, timing closure, and verification.
• Experience with IC layout and high‑density routing conditions.
• Experience with ASIC integration of digital and analog circuitry such as low‑noise amplifiers, DACs/ADCs, passive/active signal filtering, and analog/digital control loops and low‑noise switching.
• Experience in ASIC development for ultra‑high vacuum and cryogenic environments.
• Experience with ASIC prototyping using FPGAs and/or analog circuits.
• Expertise in ASIC power, performance, and area trade‑offs.
• Experience with electrical engineering challenges in Quantum Computers, especially ion‑trap architectures and noise contributions to error rates.
• Proven leadership ability that includes program execution and skills development and mentoring of other engineers and technicians.
• Strong communication skills and “right‑size” design documentation.

Base salary: $129,000 – $161,000 annually (range may vary based on skills, education, and experience). Quantinuum is an equal‑opportunity employer with a diverse, inclusive culture.

• Competitive salary and innovative, game‑changing work.
• Flexible work schedule.
• Employer‑subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) match, student loan repayment benefit, equity, and retirement savings plan.
• 12 paid holidays and generous vacation + sick time.
• Paid parental leave and employee discounts.

Quantinuum is the world leader in quantum computing, delivering the highest performance across all industry benchmarks. By uniting best‑in‑class software with high‑fidelity hardware, our integrated full‑stack approach is accelerating the path to practical quantum computing and scaling its impact across multiple industries.
