Electronics Engineer

PsiQuantum is seeking a Quantum Electronics Engineer to support the development of advanced electronic and electro-optic systems for quantum computing.

In this role, you will work closely with senior engineers to design and implement high-performance electronic solutions for controlling and reading out quantum photonic hardware. This includes RF design, electro‑optic modulation, and low‑latency control systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop RF and high-speed electronic systems for quantum hardware applications.
• Support the design of electro‑optic (EO) packages and modulator driving electronics.
• Develop low‑latency electronic solutions for quantum system control and readout.
• Work on readout systems for superconducting nanowire single‑photon detectors (SNSPDs).
• Collaborate with photonics and quantum teams to integrate electronics with optical systems.
• Assist in FPGA‑based system design and implementation for control and data acquisition.
• Participate in debugging and optimization of complex quantum hardware systems.

Experience / Qualifications

• Degree (PhD or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Strong background in RF and high‑speed electronic design.
• Experience working with electro‑optic systems or photonic hardware.
• Understanding of signal integrity, noise, and timing in high‑performance systems.
• Hands‑on laboratory experience with electronic test and measurement equipment.

Desired Skills

• Experience designing electronics for quantum or cryogenic systems.
• Familiarity with FPGA development and programming.
• Knowledge of superconducting nanowire detectors and readout electronics.
• Experience with low‑latency system design and high‑speed data acquisition.
• Experience with ASIC design or collaboration with ASIC development teams for high‑speed or low‑latency electronic systems.
