Descrizione del lavoro

Planckian is developing the core technology to power utility-scale quantum computers and is seeking a Quantum Design Engineer to support the design and optimization of superconducting qubits and quantum circuit architectures.

You will design qubits, couplers, and circuits and optimize architectures for coherence, control, and readout while collaborating with experimental teams. Hybrid work arrangements are offered with a merit-based environment.

Competenze

• PhD or MSc in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with EM and circuit simulation tools (HFSS, Sonnet, COMSOL) or equivalent.
• Background in superconducting qubit physics and circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED).
• Solid understanding of decoherence mechanisms and materials loss in superconducting devices.
• Hands-on experience designing superconducting quantum circuits.
• Ability to connect theoretical models with experimental constraints.

Mansioni

• Design superconducting qubits, couplers, and quantum circuits for scalable quantum processors.
• Develop and optimize qubit architectures with respect to coherence, frequency crowding, control, and readout.
• Perform electromagnetic and circuit-level simulations (participation ratios, loss channels, mode analysis).
• Analyze sensitivity to fabrication tolerances and process variations.
• Define design rules that balance performance with manufacturability and yield.
• Support the experimental team by interpreting measurement data and feeding results back into design iterations.
• Contribute to system-level architectural choices (connectivity, coupling schemes, control simplification).
• Document designs, simulations, and design rationale for internal and external use.
