Job Title: Senior Superconducting QPU Designer
Position Overview
We are seeking a Senior Superconducting QPU (Quantum Processing Unit) Designer to lead the architecture, layout, and optimization of our next-generation quantum chips. In this role, you will design high-coherence superconducting qubits, tunable couplers, and readout resonators. You will bridge the gap between theoretical quantum mechanics and physical microfabrication, directly accelerating our quantum computing scaling roadmap.
Key Responsibilities
Chip Design: Model and design superconducting qubit circuits, control lines, and readout resonators.
EM Simulation: Run high-frequency electromagnetic simulations using tools like Ansys HFSS, Q3D, or Sonnet.
Layout Generation: Create precise GDSII/OASIS lithography masks for cleanroom microfabrication.
Quantum Modeling: Quantize Hamiltonian circuits to predict energy levels, anharmonicity, and coupling strengths.
Loss Mitigation: Analyze and minimize microwave losses, material defects, and cross-talk.
Collaboration: Partner with fabrication and cryogenic testing teams to validate physical chip performance.
Required Qualifications
Education: PhD or Master’s degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
Simulation Skills: 3+ years of experience with 3D electromagnetic software (HFSS, CST, or Sonnet).
EDA Tools: Proficiency with layout tools like KLayout, Cadence Virtuoso, or Tanner L-Edit.
Coding: Strong programming skills in Python for design automation and data analysis.
Quantum Expertise: Deep understanding of Josephson junctions, microwave engineering, and quantum mechanics.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with automated quantum toolchains (e.g., Qiskit Metal, Palace).
Familiarity with cleanroom fabrication processes like electron-beam lithography and thin-film deposition.
Experience analyzing cryogenic measurement data (S-parameters, T1/T2 coherence times).
