Your role and responsibilities

IBM Quantum is hiring a Research Scientist to contribute to the development of advanced, high-performance mixed-signal circuits in advanced nodes for exploratory applications. We focus on circuit designs targeting the development of differentiated solutions for a range of communication and computation challenges, including the creation of CMOS-based electronics for quantum computing applications. Successful applicants will have demonstrated experience in RF, analog, and/or mixed-signal circuit design. In this role, you may be tasked with designing blocks such as phase-locked-loops (PLL), digital-to-analog converters, analog-to-digital converters, RF or wireline transmitters, RF or wireline receivers, and complex mixed-signal subsystems. You will be involved in all aspects of design projects from concept and IC architecture exploration/definition to system integration to bring up and test; demonstrated hands-on lab skills are therefore important. In addition, background in communication theory and systems and/or quantum computing would be advantageous.
