Senior Quantum Engineer - System Characterization
Rewrite
## About the role
Working within the cryogenic complementary metal‑oxide semiconductor (cryo‑CMOS) team, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on a revolutionary technology.
* Characterize the performance of integrated cryogenic ASIC‑based control systems interfacing with quantum devices.
* Design, execute, and analyze measurement campaigns to evaluate cryogenic control hardware and system behavior.
* Develop and refine measurement techniques to assess device‑level and system‑level performance.
* Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary partners—including ASIC designers, electrical engineers, qubit measurement engineers, and theorists—to inform and optimize system design.
* Analyze, document, and communicate characterization results, limitations, and findings to hardware and system development teams.
* Verify that the integrated cryogenic control system meets defined performance requirements and specifications.
## Requirements
* Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment.
* OR Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment.
* OR Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 1+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment (which may include completion of a post‑doctoral research position).
* OR equivalent experience.
* Ability to work in an "AI-first" environment using modern AI tools to accelerate discovery through both hardware and software development.
* Ability to design and build AI agents/copilots that assist with experiment setup, log triage, measurement report generation, protocol templating, and knowledge retrieval (e.g. instrument manuals, design docs).
* Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field.
* Low‑noise electronic measurements (e.g., lock‑in amplifiers, analog preamps).
* Cryogenic techniques (e.g., Helium 3 cryostats or dilution refrigerators).
* Electrical transport characterization (semiconductors, dielectrics, superconductors).
* Radio frequency (RF) or microwave measurement techniques.
* Data acquisition and programming in a high‑level language (e.g., Python).
* 4+ years of experience with quantum measurement of semiconductor qubit or quantum dot devices.
* Experience with analog electronic circuit design.
* Experience with technical report writing and documentation.
* Experience with cross‑team collaboration and/or mentoring.
