Job description

Senior Electrical Engineer at IonQ, College Park, Maryland, United States. A senior-level full time position in the Compute - Engineering team, listed under business operations.

Our quantum computing services are available through all major cloud providers, while we also meet the needs of networking and sensing customers across land, sea, air, and space. IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before.

Role Overview Role: Our Control Electronics team designs every custom electronic assembly inside an IonQ quantum computer. The work is the control electronics that sit around the trap, and it is genuinely multidisciplinary: precision analogue, RF, mixed signal DAC and ADC design, FPGA and high speed logic layout, and the signal and power integrity that decide whether any of it works at the speeds we need. This is a board level design role, not silicon. You would split your time roughly evenly between design and simulation on one side and the bench on the other, because the team’s instinct is to build something physical and measure it rather than model it indefinitely. Some of what we are trying to make has to be better than we currently know how to measure it, which is the part most engineers find either alarming or irresistible.
