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
