Job Description
Quantum computing holds the promise of humanitys mastery over the natural world but only if we can build a real quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real useful quantum computers capable of delivering the worldchanging applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture and a data center footprint.
By harnessing the laws of quantum physics quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over todays most powerful supercomputers offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate energy healthcare pharmaceuticals finance agriculture transportation materials design and many more.
PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components at Tier1 semiconductor fabs such as GlobalFoundries where we leverage highvolume semiconductor manufacturing processes the same processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality that photons dont feel heat or electromagnetic interference allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry standard fiber connectivity.
In 2024 PsiQuantum announced two governmentfunded projects to support the buildout of our first Quantum Data Centers and utilityscale quantum computers in Brisbane Australia and Chicago Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand quantum computings potential impact and the need to scale this technology to unlock that potential. And we wont just be building the hardware but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that will provide industrytransforming results.
Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decadesold advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our future not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous and we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.
Theres much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!
Job Summary:
We are looking for a digitalhardware systemdesigner to join our SystemArchitecture team. You will work in a multitechnology environment and will contribute to shape and define the digitallogic systems which drive our photonic quantum computer.
Responsibilities
- Devising algorithms and methods to solve various timecritical tasks which take place in the dataplane of an optical quantum computer and charting a path to their hardware implementation.
- Defining the hardware primitives for the algorithm.
- Gathering and translating highlevel requirements into digital designs actionable by other digitaldesign experts.
- Working closely with digital designers to arbitrate design choices and optimize designs to meet algorithmic performance while matching latency throughput and footprint constraints.
- Write python models to be integrated in our proprietary discretetimeevent simulation tool.
Experience/Qualifications
- Bachelors or masters degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related discipline.
- 4 years of relevant work or academic research preferred.
- Strong critical thinking creative innovative analytical and detail oriented problemsolving skills.
- Team player with an ability to work effectively across departments and timezones.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with an ability to communicate effectively to a variety of audiences.
- Confirmed python programmer who strives to write clear code in the context of a small team of contributors.
- You are proactive with the ability to work independently with limited direction in a fastmoving startup environment.
Additional Desired Experience/Qualifications:
- Distributed system experience: involving event correlation from multiple sources under realtime constraints.
- Worked with Hardware Definition Languages (e.g VHDL Verilog).
- Worked with High Level Synthesis tools (e.g Xilinx Vitis).
- Background in photonics.
