This role focuses on superconducting digital circuits for large-scale quantum processors.

About the role

This role involves researching and designing cryogenic control hardware for large-scale quantum processors, with an emphasis on superconducting digital circuits. You will carry designs from concept through simulation, layout, design review, and fabrication handoff.

What you'll do

• Design and simulate superconducting digital circuits and cryogenic control/readout electronics for scalable qubit control.
• Develop and validate Josephson-junction circuit models, timing and margin analyses, and verification methodology for superconducting digital designs.
• Quantify system-level trade-offs across candidate control architectures, and communicate recommendations.
• Co-design control interfaces with qubit-device colleagues.
• Deliver design artifacts through design-request and design-review processes, including tapeout-ready layouts and verification reports.

What you'll need

• Experience researching and designing cryogenic control hardware for large-scale quantum processors.
• Expertise in superconducting digital logic (e.g., single-flux-quantum-family circuits).
• Experience in developing Josephson-junction circuit models.
• Experience with simulation, layout, design review, and fabrication handoff.
