And that is something to be excited about!
Your role and responsibilities:
As part of the Hardware Team, you will work with our established team of physicists and engineers
to develop high-performance custom electronic boards for photonic quantum computers. In the role of senior electrical engineer, you will contribute your experience spanning precision analog measurement and digital control. You will join a growing team dedicated to architecting the analog and digital electronics that control and acquire data from quantum photonic devices. Working hands-on in the lab, you will develop, optimize, refine, and debug electronic modules that interface with complex and noise-sensitive optoelectronic instruments. With your strong background in designing, testing, and implementing low-noise analog and mixed-signal circuits you will drive the development of the electronic control architecture for the world’s first photonic quantum computers.
