Job description

Job Title: Research Fellow (Electronics Engineer) – Location: Kent Ridge Campus – Posting Start Date: 19/06/2026

About The Centre For Quantum Technologies

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore brings together physicists, computer scientists, and engineers to do basic research on quantum physics and build devices based on quantum phenomena. Experts in this new discipline of quantum technologies are applying their discoveries to computing, communications, and sensing. CQT is hosted by the National University of Singapore and also has staff at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Nanyang Technological University, and Singapore University of Technology and Design. With some 200 staff and students, it offers a friendly and international work environment.

Job Description

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), National University of Singapore, is looking for researchers and engineers to develop next generation quantum computers based on trapped ions. This program is funded under the National Quantum Processor Initiative, a flagship programme under the National Quantum Office Singapore. The goal is to develop a full stack quantum processor system based on Yb-Ba ions, emphasising performance over qubit numbers. The programme brings together the existing ion‑trap groups at CQT to explore scalability.

We seek talented electrical/electronic engineers to join the team of scientists and engineers working on the next generation of the quantum processor. Team members will build electronics to control the ion‑trap quantum processor, including digital design, RF and microwave sources, and low‑noise analog/digital front‑end. They will be involved in all stages of the development cycle: collaborating with other team members to define technical requirements, design, manufacturing, testing, and integration of prototypes into the control system.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor or Master degree in electronics, electrical engineering or related fields
• At least 1‑2 years of experience in electronics design (preferred)
• Experience in programmable digital logic design using Verilog or VHDL, digital signal processing, and familiarity with control theory
• Design and characterisation of low‑noise electronics for the analog front end, with a good understanding of noise sources in electronic circuits
• Design and implementation of RF electronic circuits
