Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. \nQuantum 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. \nOur architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry-including partners like GlobalFoundries-we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. \nIn 2024, PsiQuantum announced 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. \nPsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies-including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical-to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. \nQuantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift-and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real. \nCome join us. \nJob Summary:\nPsiQuantum is seeking a Quantum Electronics Engineer to support the development of advanced electronic and electro-optic systems for quantum computing.\nIn 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.\nResponsibilities:\nDesign and develop RF and high-speed electronic systems for quantum hardware applications.\nSupport the design of electro-optic (EO) packages and modulator driving electronics.\nDevelop low-latency electronic solutions for quantum system control and readout.\nWork on readout systems for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs).\nCollaborate with photonics and quantum teams to integrate electronics with optical systems.\nAssist in FPGA-based system design and implementation for control and data acquisition.\nParticipate in debugging and optimization of complex quantum hardware systems.\nExperience/Qualifications:\nDegree (PhD or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.\nStrong background in RF and high-speed electronic design.\nExperience working with electro-optic systems or photonic hardware.\nUnderstanding of signal integrity, noise, and timing in high-performance systems.\nHands-on laboratory experience with electronic test and measurement equipment.\nDesired Skills:\nExperience designing electronics for quantum or cryogenic systems.\nFamiliarity with FPGA development and programming.\nKnowledge of superconducting nanowire detectors and readout electronics.\nExperience with low-latency system design and high-speed data acquisition.\nExperience with ASIC design or collaboration with ASIC development teams for high-speed or low-latency electronic systems.\nPsiQuantum provides equal employment opportunity for all applicants and employees.
