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 development of electronic design automation (EDA) tools used for building processor and testsite modules, and also participate in those design releases themselves. Applicants are expected to have experience with Python and mask layout. Experience with OpenAccess, fabrication/integration, and with microwave engineering are 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.
- Python
- Mask layout (KLayout, Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Custom Compiler etc.)
- OpenAccess API
- Process integration
- Cleanroom experience
- Microwave engineering
