ASIC Engineer - 386

We are seeking an ASIC Engineer in our Broomfield, CO location.  

Key Responsibilities:

• Work with an integrated product team including external partners to architect and implement ASICs in service of Quantinuum’s quantum computer roadmap and goals.
• Translate quantum computer requirements and customer needs into a comprehensive plan to integrate ASICs into the broader roadmap and address scalability challenges.
• Experience deploying ASICs in challenging environments such as cryogenic temperatures, ultra-high vacuum and in proximity to noise-sensitive devices
• Identify key enabling technology areas for ASIC development and manage feasibility studies, prototyping, and risk reduction activities to ensure their smooth introduction into the roadmap.
• Understand landscape of 3rd party analog ASIC foundries & consultants, including their capabilities and technologies. Help manage Quantinuum’s partnerships with these companies.
• Perform internal development versus external partnership trades for future ASICs
• Plan and manage execution of ASIC development from concept to integration
• Provide technical expertise that informs future product development and process improvements across the organization
• Work in an R&D and rapid prototyping environment

YOU MUST HAVE:

• Bachelor’s Degree
• 12+ years of experience in an engineering or R&D environment
• 8+ years of experience in analog ASIC tool flows and technologies
• 8+ years of experience with the specification, development, verification and test of analog ASIC technologies
• Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.
• Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. person (defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status)

WE VALUE:

• Masters/PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related field preferred
• 15+ years of industry experience in an engineering or R&D environment
• Full-custom analog ASIC development experience with proven ability to deliver into production
• Hands-on experience in ASIC device models, design, synthesis, simulation, timing closure, and verification
• Engineering design workflows for ASICs from requirements through multiple design review and tapeout
• Experience with IC layout and high-density routing conditions
• Experience with ASIC integration of digital and analog circuitry such as low-noise amplifiers, DACs/ADCs, passive/active signal filtering, and analog/digital control loops and low-noise switching
• Experience in ASIC development for ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic environments with a deep understanding of how cryo temperatures affect circuit performance
• Experience with ASIC prototyping using FPGAs and/or analog circuits
• Expertise in ASIC power, performance, and area trade-offs
• Experience with the electrical engineering challenges with Quantum Computers, especially those with ion-trap architectures, and how noise from electrical systems contributes to overall error rates.
• Proven leadership ability that includes program execution and skills development and mentoring of other engineers and technicians
• Ability to consistently demonstrate decisive business impact and continuous drive for improvement in an ambiguous environment
• Strong communication skills and “right size” design documentation
