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. This position involves collaborating with qubit designers and fabrication engineers to optimize circuit performance and ensure compatibility with cryogenic environments. The role is critical for advancing quantum computing capabilities and aims to build integrated chip stacks that combine superconducting qubits with control electronics. Candidates will also engage in publishing research and presenting findings at scientific conferences.

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 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.

Benefits

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