You will work closely with high-performing teams of hardware, FPGA , software engineers, and scientists with expertise spanning from device physics to classical computer architecture and software. Together, we will develop, prototype, and implement key solutions for our photonics-based quantum computer architecture.

You’ll enjoy the thrill of learning new technology and new science, while bringing your creativity, experience and an open mind to tackle key challenges as we build truly scalable quantum computing system, that would one day to achieve real world/practical quantum advantage.

Duties and Responsibilities

Develop and Design real-time DSP and digital algorithms and systems using FPGAs.

• Develop RTL for use within multiple projects. Analyze and enhance efficiency, scalability, and stability of the system resources.
• Integrate multiple FPGAs and off-the-shelf hardware devices into our quantum computer architecture.
• Imagine, design, implement, simulate, and test the operation of the FPGA logic in circuits and systems.
• Provide quality documentation of code, design, and testing results.
• Collaborate with experienced cross-disciplinary teams to conceive, design, and bring innovative quantum systems to market.
• Work through ambiguous or undefined problems and think abstractly to produce creative solutions to challenging problems.
• Effectively articulate technical challenges and solutions to management

Required Skills and Experience

• Undergraduate or master’s degree in Electrical/Computer engineering (or equivalent), 4 to 10 years of industry experience in FPGA design. OR a PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering.
• Experience with more than one commercial product cycles from concept to production is required.
• Expertise in System Verilog/Verilog
• Experience with timing closure in very high-speed design and in pushing performance to device limit
• Good experience in RTL simulation (xsim, ModelSim, etc.) and building testbenches to verify your design.
• Solid experience with Xilinx or Altera (Intel) FPGAs and associated development tools
• Experience in digital hardware circuits is required.
• Experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. Comfortable with hardware debugging in lab
• Good communication skills and a team player.
• Demonstrated ability to creatively solve problems and manage simultaneous tasks.
• Experience with high-speed FPGA transceivers(10/40/100Gbps) is preferred.
• Experience with Versal HBM interface is highly desired.
• Experience with implement data compression(zip) in FPGA is a big plus.
