Job summary

Google is seeking a Research Scientist to design and simulate superconducting logic circuits (SFQ and AQFP) for qubit control/readout. You will work with qubit designers and circuit teams using advanced IC design tools and 3D EM modeling to optimize signal integrity and thermal budgets in a cryogenic environment.

Join Google Quantum AI to advance scalable quantum processors, publish findings, and collaborate with fabrication teams to establish design standards for integrated cryogenic control

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, related engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience in superconductor logic families (e.g., RSFQ, ERSFQ, RQL, HFQ, AQFP).
• Experience performing tape-out of a superconducting IC chip.
• One or more published research paper or presentation at a relevant scientific conference.

Responsibilities

• Design and simulate superconductor digital logic circuits (such as single flux quantum (SFQ) logic, adiabatic quantum flux parametron (AQFP) logic,and other emerging superconductor logic families) for generating waveforms tailored to qubit control and readout.
• Develop superconductor digital logic systems enabling multiplexed qubit control and readout.
• Address issues in the integration of superconductor digital electronics such as multi-layer cell design, full-chip clock synchronization, flux trapping, and signal integrity.
• Collaborate with teams focused on design, fabrication, and measurement to validate fully integrated quantum processors.
• Publish research papers and present at leading scientific conferences to advance and enhance publicity.
