Job Summary
About The Role and Team
The IC Team is responsible for the design and test of the integrated circuits which operate at deep-cryogenic temperatures and interact with the qubits. This role is a unique chance to work at the bleeding edge of technology development developing new innovative circuits to tackle the engineering challenge of implementing a large scale quantum computer in silicon. You will be a key part of a multidisciplinary team and will be involved in all the aspects of IC design cycle from initial concept to volume production.
As a Principal EDA Engineer you will be supporting design teams primarily working with a design flow. Its an analogue flow using commercial PDKs but with internally developed add-ons to customize processes. Youll work alongside other EDA support engineers as the eams grow and expand their remit.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an early employee at a start-up shaping the future of quantum computing. There are vast opportunities for professional growth and to make an impact within the company.
Our Team
We bring together the brightest quantum engineers integrated circuit (IC) engineers quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique world-leading team working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.
Our team of 100 is based across London Oxford San Sebastián and Sydney with our primary hub in Islington (London).
