Qubit Control IC Designer

Job Description

Are you ready to be at the forefront of the quantum computing revolution? Join Intel's groundbreaking quantum computing team as a Qubit Control IC Designer, where you'll help shape the future of computing technology. This is an extraordinary opportunity to work on one of the most exciting and challenging frontiers in technology, designing the critical control electronics that will power Intel's quantum computers and potentially transform how we solve the world's most complex problems.

This is your chance to be part of a revolutionary technology that will define the future of computing. You'll work with world‑class engineers, access cutting‑edge Intel technologies, and contribute to breakthroughs that could solve problems previously thought impossible. Join us in building the quantum computers of tomorrow!

In this position, you will be joining a team of incredibly talented engineers focused on the challenging task of building the control electronics for Intel quantum computers. The team is focused on leveraging the latest Intel CMOS processes, packaging, and integration technologies to develop novel qubit control architectures and circuits that can scale to millions of qubits. You'll be working at the intersection of cutting‑edge semiconductor technology and quantum physics, creating solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible in computing.

Ready to help build the future of quantum computing? Apply now and be part of this extraordinary journey!

• Architect, design, and test complex mixed‑signal system‑on‑chip (SoC) and FPGA solutions that interface the micro instruction layer of the quantum computing stack to actual qubits
• Generate complex control signals required to drive and read qubit states with precision and reliability

• Perform signal integrity analysis and optimization for qubit chips to ensure optimal performance
• Apply electromagnetic (EM) modeling and simulation tools for signal integrity and crosstalk analysis

• Work in close collaboration with both software/algorithms and qubit development teams to create integrated solutions
• Bridge the gap between quantum physics and practical electronic implementation

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Experience listed below would be obtained through relevant previous job and/or research experience.

• Bachelor's degree with 4 years of experience, or Master's with 3 years of experience or PhD degree with 1 year of experience in Electrical Engineering or related engineering field
• Experience with RF/analog/mixed‑signal circuit tape‑out completed in an advanced process technology and lab testing
• Experience with silicon prototyping flow (design, validation, layout, tape‑out, testing)
• Experience with architecture, design, implementation, and verification of mixed‑signal systems including circuit blocks such as LNAs, Mixers, PAs, PLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs
• Experience with electromagnetic (EM) modeling and simulation tools and their application to signal integrity/crosstalk analysis for high‑speed/high‑density on‑chip/on‑package interconnect

• Experience in high‑level system design and validation with behavioral models (e.g., Matlab, Verilog, Veriloga, System Verilog, etc.)
• Expertise with DSP/signal processing skills
• Experience with quantum computing
• Expertise for qubit design, fabrication, and control (preferred focus on spin qubits)
• Hands‑on experience with qubit characterization and control with dilution refrigerators and room lab‑grade control electronics
