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:
PsiQuantum seeks to hire an onsite microwave and signal integrity (SI) engineer to join our team. The microwave SI engineer will primarily focus on conducting electromagnetic analysis of novel electrooptic devices electrical interconnects and electrooptic packages. The role also involves some handson lab work including collecting and analyzing data from devices circuits and subsystems.
Responsibilities:
Electromagnetic simulation
- Develop electromagnetic simulation models to support the design and synthesis of novel electrooptic devices and interconnect schemes. Analyze and present simulation results to guide future designs. A significant part of the role involves plotting and presenting data across various scenarios.
- Carefully document simulation results with attention to assumptions limitations and the applicable range of validity.
- Create and maintain simulation project templates that can be shared with other highspeed engineers on the team.
Signal integrity and power integrity simulations
- Analyze signal integrity of active devices copackaged with high speed electronic drivers. A basic understanding of electrical amplifier is helpful.
Data analysis and presentation
- Collaborate with engineers and scientists to deliver E&M simulation model results that can be updated rapidly through scripting allowing for parameter variation studies to aid in design optimization and innovation.
Communication
- Work closely with crossdisciplinary teams including experts in device physics photonics and electronic IC design. Effective collaboration is essential for integrating inputs across SI PI and electromagnetic simulation efforts.
Experience/Qualifications:
Education & Experience
- Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Physics or a related field.
- 15 years of industrial experience in microwave RF and signal integrity analysis; power integrity experience is a plus.
- Strong knowledge of microwave circuit theory RF measurement techniques Sparameters and signal integrity concepts.
- Proficient in using electromagnetic and circuit simulation tools preferably HFSS and Keysight ADS. Experience with COMSOL Microwave Office or Cadence is also acceptable with the intent to adopt preferred tools. SIwave familiarity is a plus.
- Handson experience with microwave lab equipment such as VNAs highspeed realtime and sampling oscilloscopes and highspeed probes. Ability to collect and correlate measurement data with simulation results. Experience with electrical probing is a plus.
- Skilled in data analysis and scripting using tools like Python or MATLAB.
Soft Skills
- Strong analytical and problemsolving abilities.
- Solid mathematical background for analyzing measured data and developing analytical or quasianalytical circuit models.
- Comfortable working in a fastpaced environment with multiple concurrent tasks.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and presentations.
- Proactive teamoriented mindset with a strong desire to learn and grow.
Preferred Qualifications
- Ability to develop scripts that accelerate simulation model setup such as Python for automating ADS or HFSS workflows.
- Experience with statistical data analysis.
- Some familiarity with electrooptic devices.
- Eagerness to learn advanced highspeed analysis techniques.
- Willingness to spend 1020% of time in the lab collecting and analyzing data for modeling purposes.
