Qubit Control IC Designer

Job Summary

Join Intel's groundbreaking quantum computing team as a Qubit Control IC Designer. You will help shape the future of computing technology by designing the critical control electronics that will power Intel's quantum computers and potentially transform how we solve the world's most complex problems.

• Architect, design, and test complex mixed‑signal system‑on‑chip (SoC) and FPGA solutions that interface the microinstruction layer of the quantum computing stack to actual qubits.
• Generate complex control signals required to drive and read qubit states with precision and reliability.
• Perform signal integrity analysis and optimization for qubit chips to ensure optimal performance.
• Apply electromagnetic (EM) modeling and simulation tools for signal integrity and crosstalk analysis.
• Work in close collaboration with software/algorithm and qubit development teams to create integrated solutions.
• Bridge the gap between quantum physics and practical electronic implementation.

• Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree with 5+ years of relevant experience in professional employment, academic institutions, research activities, or comparable educational and professional endeavors.
• Experience with RF/analog/mixed‑signal circuit tape‑out completed in an advanced process technology and laboratory testing.
• Experience with silicon prototyping flow (design, validation, layout, tape‑out, testing).
• Experience with architecture, design, implementation, and verification of mixed‑signal systems including circuit blocks such as LNAs, mixers, PA, PLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs.

• Experience with electromagnetic (EM) modeling and simulation tools and their application to signal integrity/crosstalk analysis for high‑speed/high‑density on‑chip/on‑package interconnect.
• Experience in high‑level system design and validation with behavioral models (e.g., MATLAB, Verilog, Veriloga, System Verilog).
• Expertise with DSP/signal processing skills.
• Experience with quantum computing.
• Expertise in qubit design, fabrication, and control (preferred focus on spin qubits).
• Hands‑on experience with qubit characterization and control with dilution refrigerators and room laboratory‑grade control electronics.
