The role

You will drive the physical realization of next-generation 3D quantum hardware architecture. This involves designing critical microwave components, creating high-density PCB layouts, and building novel packaging solutions for large-scale QPUs.

What you will do

  • Design critical electromechanical components for QPUs
  • Work with the simulation team to validate models and implement design improvements
  • Utilise CAD to design PCBs, silicon chip layout and PCB-to-chip interconnect
  • Solve challenges related to insertion loss, impedance matching, and cross-talk
  • Integrate designs into the codebase
  • Create Python scripts to automate design generation
  • Implement Design Rule Checks

Required qualifications

  • MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus on RF/Microwave Engineering
  • 4+ years of hands-on RF engineering experience in deep-tech or low-volume hardware environments
  • Solid understanding of RF link budget calculations, S-parameters, complex impedance analysis, Smith Chart, and matching network design
  • Proven experience with full-wave 3D electromagnetic solvers (e.g., Ansys HFSS, Q3D)
  • Practical experience with RF testing and measurements using VNA and related laboratory equipment

Nice to have

  • Practical experience designing circuit-level components, such as filters, couplers, and attenuators
  • Background in high-density interconnects, high frequency flex interconnects, 3D packaging, or advanced integration
  • Familiarity with superconducting technologies is a strong plus
  • Proficient in PCB layout design, utilizing tools such as KiCAD, Altium Designer, and Cadence

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • 8% holiday allowance
  • Pension plan that includes partner and dependent coverage
  • Hybrid setup
  • Open vacation policy
  • L&D budget available to each team member
  • Team events, offsites, and spontaneous moments

Before you apply

  • Candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening
