Delivering transformative technologies in automotive, aerospace and defense, HRL advances the critical missions of its customers to help them remove limitations and create competitive advantage. HRL then transitions the work back to customers - ready for real-world application. For more than 70 years, HRL’s rich portfolio of scientific discoveries and engineering innovations continues to build on each other - often in unexpected, profound and far-reaching ways. As a private company owned by IBM, HRL prioritizes purpose over profit, significantly advancing the state of the art.\nQubit Systems Laboratory (QSL) is a world leader in semiconductor spin qubits. Our broad expertise spans semiconductor growth, device design and modeling, cryogenic control, high-density interconnects and packaging, quantum architecture, and multiqubit demonstrations. Our system architecture is built entirely around scalable semiconductor manufacturing to make quantum computing affordable for practical business and scientific applications.\nGeneral Description\nThe Integration Component Design Engineer will develop detailed superconducting component layouts, create automated layout strategies, and collaborate closely with process, RF, and integration engineering teams to ensure manufacturable, high performance designs in support of HRL’s silicon spin quantum computing effort. This role centers on expert level CAD layout execution, automation of design steps, and clear communication of methodologies and design intent to technical leadership. The ideal candidate brings strong proficiency in Virtuoso (and ideally Allegro APD), a solid understanding of foundry process constraints, and familiarity with RF design principles relevant to superconducting transmission structures.\nEssential Duties\nCreate, refine, and own complex superconducting component layouts using industry standard CAD tools-Virtuoso strongly preferred, Virtuoso plus Allegro APD ideal.\nCollaborate with other design engineers to support simulation analyses, analysis of alternative designs, and design modifications related to measurement feedback.\nDevelop and implement layout automation strategies including routing, via placement, ground plane slotting, and metal/dielectric fill rules to enhance efficiency and manufacturability.\nIncorporate foundry process constraints, design rules, material limitations, and interface behaviors into layout decisions and system level design choices.\nSupport RF related layout tasks, including transmission line structure creation, parasitic minimization, and adherence to RF design methodologies for cryogenic superconducting components.\nCollaborate closely with integration, process, and packaging teams to ensure alignment on layout strategy, connectivity requirements, and manufacturability constraints.\nDocument layout approaches, automation methods, and design rules; prepare clear summaries and visualizations for presentation to technical leadership.\nTroubleshoot layout related issues, resolve DRC/LVS concerns, and support design reviews throughout the development cycle.\nContribute to continuous improvement of layout templates, parameterized cells, automation scripts, and best practice methodologies for superconducting component design.\nRequired Qualifications\nBS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.\n5+ years of extensive hands on experience with CAD layout tools: Virtuoso required; Virtuoso plus Allegro APD strongly preferred.\nFamiliarity with layout automation methods, including routing algorithms, via strategy tuning, ground plane slotting, and metal/dielectric fill techniques.\nUnderstanding of foundry process constraints, design rule interpretation, and materials related layout considerations.\nFamiliarity with RF design principles, transmission line behavior, and layout methodologies for RF sensitive structures.\nStrong communication skills, with the ability to clearly summarize designs, assumptions, and layout strategies for review by senior technical leadership.\nStrong problem solving ability with attention to detail, design reliability, and manufacturability.\nExperience with scripting or automation tools (Python, or similar) is preferred.\nSpecial Requirements:\nUS Person Status Required\nCompensation and Benefits:\nPay Range : $140,700 - $175,950\n\nOur salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location (California). The range displayed on each job posting reflects the target range for new hire salaries for the position. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range during the hiring process.\n\nBenefits: HRL offers a generous and very competitive total compensation and benefits package. Our Regular/Full Time benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401K match, gym facilities, PTO, Sick time, upward mobility, and an exciting and challenging work environment.\n\nFor more information about our company benefit offerings please visit: https://www.hrl.com/careers/benefits\n\nNon-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunities (U.S.)\nDon’t meet every single requirement?
