RF Systems Engineer - Quantum Photonics & Tactical RF

Quantum Computing Inc.; Hoboken (NJ); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) seeks an experienced RF/Systems Engineer to research, design, and apply advanced RF concepts for photonics and quantum sensing in support of RF communications and signal intelligence.

Ideal candidates have strong experimental backgrounds, proficiency in RF theory, simulations, and integration with lab instruments, with DoD clearance or ability to obtain one.

Qualifications

• BS in Physics, Engineering Physics, RF Engineering, or Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
• 5–10+ years RF systems experience.
• Knowledge of antennas and microwave/photonic circuits.
• Experience with at least one EM solver (HFSS, CST, FEKO, MW Office) and understanding of MoM/FDTD/FEM methods.
• Familiarity with microwave PCB design and SI, power handling, impedance matching, EMI/EMC.

Responsibilities

• Support the development of platforms around classical and quantum photonics for tactical RF systems.
• Collaborate with physicists and engineers to design novel, mission-enabled RF systems.
• Evaluate component performance via board- and system-level lab tests (LNAs, HPAs, filters, couplers, mixers, etc.).
• Work with hardware, mechanical, and quantum scientists during lab testing phases.
• Design/simulate RF antenna apertures, microwave/photonic structures; verify via fabrication and tests.
• Integrate custom components into larger tactical systems.
• Maintain design-cycle documentation: operations theory, manufacturing docs, validation results.
• Conduct integration testing to validate system performance.
