IBM Quantum is seeking talented engineers to join the quantum hardware design/simulation team at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. The team focuses on delivering quantum processor and processor-adjacent designs to meet a variety of internal needs, and develops and drives the methodology to make these designs successful. Designs span in scope from exploratory research to production-roadmap quantum processor unit development.
The successful candidate will participate in processor and testsite design deliveries and work closely with the fabrication/integration teams to drive process development kit development and maintenance. Applicants are expected to have familiarity with industry standards for chip design/release methodologies (in CMOS and/or experimental technologies), microwave engineering, and relevant hardware development tools such as Keysight ADS, Ansys Electronics Desktop, Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre etc. Experience with development for industry-grade physical verification sign-off tools such as Siemens Calibre, Synopsys IC Validator, Cadence Pegasus etc. is strongly preferred. Because the role includes collaboration between several diverse and dynamic teams of technical and operations personnel, good communication skills, initiative, and a strong sense of responsibility are key.
