XThe application window will be open until at least November 19, 2026. This opportunity will remain online based on business needs which may be before or after the specified date.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 8 years of experience in analog, digital, and or mixed-signal design.

  • 8 years of experience in system/RF/FPGA control architecture.

Preferred qualifications:

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • Experience designing and building electronic quantum control systems for neutral atoms or trapped ion quantum computers.

  • Experience leading development projects from specification discovery to implementation and deployment.

  • Experience managing individual contributors and vendors.

  • Understanding of industry board-level system/sub-system design practices across relevant disciplines (e.g., AMS, RF, FPGA, etc), including relevant design tools.

About the job

In this role, you will be a leader in a cross-functional team working to implement quantum computers using neutral-atom-based quantum processors. You will be involved in all stages of the electronics product lifecycle for these systems. You will work with cross-functional stakeholders to understand the electronic control requirements of neutral-atom quantum computers and use this knowledge to architect optimum control electronics that meet these requirements. You will own the implementation cycle of these electronics collaborating with colleagues within the quantum team’s electronics org and/or with vendors to realize robust systems. You will lead the test and bring-up of developed electronics and support their use in experimental systems.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
