Control Electronics Engineering Manager, Neutral Atoms, Quantum AI

In this role, you will be a leader in a cross-functional team working to implement quantum computers using neutral-atom-based quantum processors. You will be involved in all stages of the electronics product lifecycle for these systems. You will work with cross-functional stakeholders to understand the electronic control requirements of neutral-atom quantum computers and use this knowledge to architect optimum control electronics that meet these requirements. You will own the implementation cycle of these electronics collaborating with colleagues within the quantum team’s electronics org and/or with vendors to realize robust systems. You will lead the test and bring-up of developed electronics and support their use in experimental systems.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

Responsibilities

• Own board and system-level design of custom electronic systems for the control of neutral atom quantum processors.
• Lead cross-functional team to evaluate control system requirements and develop board-level solutions to meet these requirements, collaborating with other board and system level designers and vendors as needed.
• Drive ambiguous board-level projects from concept to production and deployment.
• Support the deployment of electronics to quantum computers.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 8 years of experience in analog, digital, and or mixed-signal design.
  
• 8 years of experience in system/RF/FPGA control architecture.
  

Preferred qualifications:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• Experience designing and building electronic quantum control systems for neutral atoms or trapped ion quantum computers.
• Experience leading development projects from specification discovery to implementation and deployment.
• Experience managing individual contributors and vendors.
• Understanding of industry board-level system/sub-system design practices across relevant disciplines (e.g., AMS, RF, FPGA, etc), including relevant design tools.
