Introduction

IBM Quantum is seeking talented engineers to join the quantum hardware design/simulation team at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. The team focuses on delivering quantum processor and processor-adjacent designs to meet a variety of internal needs, and develops and drives the methodology to make these designs successful. Design scopes span from exploratory research to production-roadmap quantum processor unit development.

Your role and responsibilities

The successful candidate will join the quantum electronic design automation (EDA) effort at IBM Quantum and participate in development of the cutting-edge tools being used for designing quantum processor and testsite modules targeting IBM's proprietary superconducting technology. The role will focus on detailed execution tasks in support of the internal EDA ecosystem used to deliver IBM Quantum's flagship quantum processing units. Tasks will include maintenance of existing tools, development of new tools, and user interface design/implementation. Experience with circuit design and/or quantum computing hardware is a bonus, but not required. Because the role includes collaboration between several diverse and dynamic teams of technical and operations personnel, good communication skills, initiative, and a strong sense of responsibility are key.
