Description

About The Role and Team The Integrated Circuits Team is responsible for the design and test of the integrated circuits which operate at deep-cryogenic temperatures and interact with the qubits. This role is a unique chance to work at the bleeding edge of technology development where you will measure, optimize, and analyze the performance of innovative circuits to tackle the engineering challenge of implementing a large-scale quantum computer in silicon. As an IC Validation Engineer, the position will suit someone with a strong background in the following areas and the ability to flexibly apply and combine them on a daily basis: practical electronics test and measurement, experimental design, statistics and data analysis, analogue and mixed-signal circuit operation principles, and CMOS device physics and process. No background in quantum physics is required. Our Team Quantum Motion is a fast-growing quantum computing scale-up headquartered in London, with additional labs and offices in Spain, Australia and the US, founded by internationally renowned researchers from University College London and Oxford University with over 40 years’ experience in developing qubits and quantum computing architectures. Bringing together state-of-the-art cryogenic facilities and an outstanding interdisciplinary team, we are developing quantum processors based on industrial-grade silicon chips, with the potential to radically transform computing power in areas such as materials modeling, medicine, artificial intelligence and more. This role forms part of our investment in state-of-the art facilities in Maryland, US. It reflects our commitment to driving innovation and collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the quantum industry, and additionally taps into the strong semiconductor and cryogenic ecosystem. Our mission is global and this is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a team which is shaping the future of quantum computing. As part of our lean, high-impact and rapidly growing team, you will be working closely with our scientists, engineers and experts in a dynamic environment to make the site run smoothly and compliantly from day one, dedicated to contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology. Functions of the Role Carry cryo-CMOS integrated circuit designs through multi-die performance characterization and applications support for integration with quantum devices High-quality documentation of experimental design, measurement analysis/conclusions, application requirements, and user guides Highly effective hardware and software debugging Develop efficient and automated measurement and analysis routines to enable confident and scalable characterization of IC performance Experience - Essentials Familiarity with bench-level electronic test and measurement equipment such as SMUs, VNAs, amplifiers, oscilloscopes, etc. Proficient in reading circuit schematics Strong intuition and methodical approach to circuit debugging Advanced programming and data analytics ability Knowledge of Python, C, or similar programming language Degree qualification in Electrical, Electronic, and/or Computer Engineering Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a high-level of self-management Excellent verbal and written communication skills Experience - Desirable Prior experience with cryogenic electronics Prior experience with quantum devices (especially semiconductor spin-based) Advanced statistical analysis expertise Prior experience in IC Applications Engineering and/or IC Product Engineering High-frequency device characterisation experience (RF and/or noise) Knowledge of SOI processes and fabrication technologies Familiarity with machine learning techniques and libraries Benefits Be part of a creative, world-leading team Competitive salary and share options scheme Region-specific benefits (e.g. Health Insurance) Choose your own laptop/kit Flexible working Located in Maryland College Park - a state-of-the-art quantum hub EEO Statement Quantum Motion is an equal opportunity employer.
