Job description

Role/responsibilities

Design analog and mixed-signal ASIC blocks that enable high-performance control, readout, and interfacing for quantum and AI systems. Work closely with system architects and device teams to optimize performance, power, and noise across room-temperature and cryogenic operating conditions.

Desired skills

Expertise in high-performance mixed-signal circuit development for quantum and AI systems, including low-noise analog front ends, data converters, and interface circuitry. Experience with design and implementation of ultra-low temperature logic circuits is a strong plus.

Job Type:

Full-Time

Are you someone who is excited by the opportunity to building something new? We invite talented analog ASIC engineers to join our vibrant team and contribute to the development of cutting-edge hardware.

About Us:

Emergence Quantum is a company at the forefront of quantum technology, driving innovative solutions in quantum computing, cryogenic electronics and computation. Based out of the vibrant area of Camperdown near downtown Syndey and in close collaboration with the University of Sydney you will work on bleeding edge technologies that will help define the future of quantum computing and drive both our internal development and our pioneering clients’ platforms.

Your Responsibilities:

• Design, simulate, verify, and layout analog and mixed-signal circuits for applications in quantum computing.
• Develop and optimize low-temperature analog circuits, such as amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, in CMOS, SiGe, MMIC, superconducting, and any outside-the-box circuits for solving control and readout challenges for quantum.
