Descripción de la vacante

HRL Laboratories, an IBM company, is seeking an Electronics Development Engineer to design, characterize, and validate cryogenic mixed signal hardware for qubit control and readout. You will perform low-temperature measurements, RF/microwave work, and hardware–firmware co-design with scientists and engineers.

Join a team driving high-impact quantum electronics challenges, including automated testing, data analysis, and robust hardware development in a collaborative environment.

Formación

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or closely related field.
• 3+ years of experience in mixed signal electronics with RF/microwave, high speed digital design, cryogenic electronics, or low noise analog signal paths.
• Experience with electronic measurement techniques including signal integrity and power integrity evaluation, RF characterization, or low temperature test setups.
• Familiarity with PCB design or board bring up workflows, and exposure to hardware–firmware co design or FPGA/ASIC verification is a plus.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across test equipment, hardware interfaces, and measurement environments.
• Experience with automated testing, lab automation tools, or data analysis using scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB.
• Ability to work collaboratively with teams integrating physics, computer science, data science, and engineering.
• Clear communication and documentation skills for reporting measurements, analysis results, and design recommendations.

Responsabilidades

• Develop deep understanding of cryogenic electronics and qubit control/readout signals at low temperatures.
• Collaborate with scientists to define qubit control and readout requirements across mixed signal, RF/microwave, and digital domains.
• Design, implement, and document measurement techniques for characterizing qubit control electronics, including low temperature characterization and RF/microwave performance.
• Contribute to design, specification, and validation of custom mixed signal and RF/microwave hardware including PCB design and bring up.
• Support hardware–firmware co design efforts, including FPGA/ASIC verification focusing on timing and waveform fidelity.
• Develop automated test procedures and lab automation workflows using modern instrumentation and scripting tools.
• Execute advanced measurements involving spin qubits to validate control system fidelity and noise performance.
• Analyze data, perform root cause debug, and provide clear engineering recommendations for improving hardware performance.
• Work within focused teams addressing high impact challenges in qubit control and cryogenic electronics reliability.
