Electronics Engineer

Job Title

Electronics Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement high-performance electronic and electro-optic systems to control and read out quantum photonic hardware. Work on RF, electro-optic modulation, low-latency control, and integration with photonics and detector subsystems.

Join cross-functional teams including photonics, FPGA, and quantum engineers to deliver hardware used in scalable quantum computing systems.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not specify years of experience; candidates should be comfortable working with senior engineers on complex RF and high-speed electronics designs.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Design and develop RF and high-speed electronic systems for quantum hardware applications.
• Support electro-optic (EO) package and modulator driver electronics development.
• Develop low-latency electronics for system control and readout.
• Design and support readout electronics for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs).
• Collaborate with photonics and quantum teams to integrate electronics with optical systems.
• Contribute to FPGA-based control and data acquisition system design and implementation.
• Participate in debugging, testing, and optimization of complex hardware systems.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred skills for the role.

• Must have: Strong background in RF and high-speed electronic design, including signal integrity, noise mitigation, and timing.
• Must have: Hands-on laboratory experience with electronic test and measurement equipment.
• Must have: Experience with electro-optic systems or photonic hardware integration.
• Nice to have: Experience designing electronics for quantum or cryogenic systems.
• Nice to have: Familiarity with FPGA development and programming for control/data acquisition.
• Nice to have: Knowledge of superconducting nanowire detectors and their readout electronics.
• Nice to have: Experience with ASIC design or collaboration with ASIC teams for high-speed or low-latency systems.

Education Requirements

Degree: PhD or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field. "Or equivalent experience" language is acceptable.
