ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, CRYO/RF Quantum Hardware
Location: Berkeley, CA

As an Electrical Engineer at Rigetti Computing, you will lead development of cutting-edge solutions and the architecture to realize a quantum computer, focusing on developing electronics handling microwave/RF signals in a cryogenic / low-noise environment. This role requires developing concepts, models, and designs of electronic systems, assemblies, and components. You will be working closely with a team of electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and physicists, as well as outside component suppliers, to define system requirements. You will own and integrate your tests into the R&D and production release workflows in support of new, cutting-edge quantum computer systems.

The ideal candidate brings experience developing RF / Microwave components and systems for quantum electronics. You enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary environment, and you excel at translating functional requirements into test designs. You are able to identify requirements and constraints and manage effective test programs that navigate these inputs. You are a strong communicator who keeps stakeholders informed and involved.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field
  • Experience designing and integrating microwave components and subsystems
  • High-frequency simulation experience (e.g. HFSS)
  • Hands-on experience with microwave test equipment (VNA’s, Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, AWG’s) and different RF measurement techniques
  • Excellent technical communication and collaboration skills in a multi-domain environment
  • Strong numerical analysis skills, Python preferred
  • Experience working closely with mechanical engineers and physicists
  • PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experienced professional in quantum computing
  • Understanding of superconducting electronics and cryogenic behavior of materials
  • PCB design using CAD tools (e.g. Altium)
  • Industry experience, preferably in a start-up
  • As we continue to navigate these unprecedented times, we have committed to prioritizing the health and safety of our employees and have adopted a virtual interview process. This position will be based out of our Berkeley headquarters and may be required to work remotely temporarily.  Longer-term, this position will likely be a hybrid role (primarily onsite with some remote work opportunities).

    WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN 
    - Opportunity to start at the ground floor in Operations at a groundbreaking and disruptive company
    - A high energy company that will challenge you on a daily basis
    - Ability to leverage your background in your day to day work and build systems that enable internal customers to see the progress in Inventory Management
    - Great Team working to change the way we think about computing!
