Qubit Control Ic Designer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Oregon, Hillsboro, United States

Design and test complex mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) and FPGA solutions for quantum computer control electronics, interfacing with qubits and generating control signals. Requires expertise in RF/analog/mixed-signal circuit design, silicon prototyping, and signal integrity analysis.

What you'd actually do

  1. Architect, design, and test complex mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) and FPGA solutions that interface the microinstruction layer of the quantum computing stack to actual qubits
  2. Generate complex control signals required to drive and read qubit states with precision and reliability
  3. Perform signal integrity analysis and optimization for qubit chips to ensure optimal performance
  4. Apply electromagnetic (EM) modeling and simulation tools for signal integrity and crosstalk analysis
  5. Work in close collaboration with both software/algorithms and qubit development teams to create integrated solutions
