They will have technical knowledge of at least one of the following: low-noise analog design high-speed digital systems RF systems FPGA-based control or precision timing - with the ability to come up to speed quickly as needed in the other areas.

Key Responsibilities

- Designing precision analog mixed-signal and digital electronics supporting quantum control systems.

- Collaborate with physicists software developers and mechanical engineers to define system requirements and interfaces.

- Develop hardware subsystems including power delivery low-noise analog front ends high-speed digital control and RF/microwave circuitry.

- Capable of doing PCB layout (Altium preferred) and validation working closely with other engineers and external manufacturing partners.

- Guide bring-up test and debug of custom boards and system-level integration.

- Follow best practices in electrical design including design reviews documentation and validation procedures.

- Strive for continuous improvement of system performance reliability and manufacturability.

Required Qualifications

- BS MS in Electrical Engineering or closely-related field.

- 3 years of experience designing complex electrical systems including both analog and digital domains.

- Proven expertise in one or more of the following: low-noise analog design high-speed digital systems RF systems FPGA-based control or precision timing.

- Experience with hardware bring-up lab debugging tools (oscilloscopes logic analyzers spectrum analyzers) and system integration.

- Proficiency with tools such as Altium Designer LTspice MATLAB or Python for simulation and analysis.

- Strong documentation and communication skills.

- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced interdisciplinary startup environment.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience in instrumentation or control systems for complex scientific or industrial equipment.

- Soldering/Rework experience for quick debug efforts

- Experience working in a regulated or safety-critical environment (e.g. aerospace medical or high-voltage systems).

- Hands-on experience with firmware development or embedded systems is a plus.
