RF Engineer

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
