# Software Engineer, Processor Design Infrastructure, Quantum AI

About the job Google Quantum AI designs and fabricates its own superconducting quantum processors. Bringing a new chip from concept to fabrication is an iterative process: laying out circuits, running electromagnetic and circuit simulations, verifying designs against fabrication rules, and preparing tapeouts for the foundry. Every step depends on software, and as our processors grow in scale and complexity, the speed and reliability of that software determine how quickly we can iterate.In this role, you will be the dedicated software engineer owning our chip design infrastructure. Partnering closely with quantum processor designers in Santa Barbara, you will architect and maintain the software layers that power the design workflow. You will balance high-leverage workflow unblocking for designers with long-term infrastructure roadmap projects, letting hardware and physics experts focus on processor design. 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 advancin
