As a Quantum Hardware Engineer for Advanced Interconnect Lead, you will manage the advanced interconnect team to solve our integration and interconnect issues. You will be responsible for realizing new technologies for integration of cryogenic microwave devices and superconducting quantum processors. You will collaborate with other researchers and engineers on the Quantum AI team, and external academic and industrial partners, to develop the integration technologies to be used in our next generation of quantum computers.

You will also seek out and develop partnerships with vendors and other entities to advance our knowledge and capabilities to meet our quantum roadmap milestones.

You will use your experience in silicon, PCB, and MEMS technologies to manage multiple projects simultaneously. You will bring curiosity and engineering intuition to develop the understanding needed to improve superconducting quantum hardware system performance, and precision to pave the way for rapidly increasing the number of qubits in accordance with our roadmap.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error‑corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
