Quantum Electronics Engineer

Psi Quantum’smission is to build the first useful quantum computers—machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.

Our architecture and approachisbased on silicon photonics. Byleveragingthe advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like Global Foundries—we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photonsdon’tfeel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.

In 2024,Psi Quantumannounced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale.

Psi Quantumalso develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 5xx companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.

Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. Itrepresentsa fundamental shift—and a path to mastering challenges that cannot besolvedany other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clearpathto make it real.

Psi Quantum is seeking a Quantum Electronics Engineer to support the development of advanced electronic and electro-optic systems for quantum computing.

In this role, you will work closely with senior engineers to design and implement high-performance electronic solutions for controlling and reading out quantum photonic hardware. This includes RF design, electro-optic modulation, and low-latency control systems.

• Design and develop RF and high-speed electronic systems for quantum hardware applications.
• Support the design of electro-optic (EO) packages and modulator driving electronics.
• Develop low-latency electronic solutions for quantum system control and readout.
• Work on readout systems for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs).
• Collaborate with photonics and quantum teams to integrate electronics with optical systems.
• Assist in FPGA-based system design and implementation for control and data acquisition.
• Participate in debugging and optimization of complex quantum hardware systems.

• Degree (PhD or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Strong background in RF and high-speed electronic design.
• Experience working with electro-optic systems or photonic hardware.
• Understanding of signal integrity, noise, and timing in high-performance systems.
• Hands-on laboratory experience with electronic test and measurement equipment.

• Experience designing electronics for quantum or cryogenic systems.
• Familiarity with FPGA development and programming.
• Knowledge of superconducting nanowire detectors and readout electronics.
• Experience with low-latency system design and high-speed data acquisition.
• Experience with ASIC design or collaboration with ASIC development teams for high-speed or low-latency electronic systems.
