Job description

The Senior Research Scientist role focuses on designing and simulating superconductor digital logic circuits for qubit control and readout within Google's Quantum AI team. The position involves collaboration with qubit designers and fabrication engineers to establish IC design standards and optimize performance metrics. This work is essential for developing integrated quantum processors and advancing quantum computing capabilities. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in superconducting electronics and a passion for research and development in this cutting-edge field.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Experience in superconductor logic families such as RSFQ, ERSFQ, RQL, HFQ, and AQFP.
  • Experience performing tape-out of a superconducting IC chip.
  • One or more published research papers or presentations at relevant scientific conferences.

Responsibilities

  • Design and simulate superconductor digital logic circuits for generating waveforms tailored to qubit control and readout.
  • Develop superconductor digital logic systems enabling multiplexed qubit control and readout.
  • Address integration issues in superconductor digital electronics, including multi-layer cell design and signal integrity.
  • Collaborate with design, fabrication, and measurement teams to validate fully integrated quantum processors.
  • Publish research papers and present at leading scientific conferences to enhance publicity.

Benefits

  • Employees at Google are often offered benefits like comprehensive health insurance, 401(k) matching, and flexible work arrangements, among other benefits.
