Full Job Description
Overview

As a Senior Quantum Analog Mixed-Signal Verification Engineer in the Quantum 1st Party Hardware Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) team, you will play a critical role in advancing the development of the team's quantum Analog Simulation infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include creating and defining system-wide Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) models, simulation environments, and test plans for the team's System-on-a-Chip (SoC) and Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, and coordinating individuals, contingent staff, and external vendors to deliver a high-quality design.

You will work across SoC architecture, quantum hardware, analog design, and physical design teams throughout the program lifecycle to bring SoC and IP into production at the quality required for scalable quantum systems. If you thrive on complex challenges and foundational technologies that redefine what's possible, we invite you to help shape the future of quantum computing.

Responsibilities
  • Own and drive Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) simulation of complex analog and digital blocks, including building analog block models, preparing and executing test plans, and supporting analog and AMS verification activities through tape-out.
  • Integrate analog and digital blocks across multiple SoCs to create a system-wide simulation environment for system-level algorithm modeling.
  • Coordinate with Analog Verification Engineers to run block-level and top-level analog and AMS simulations. Document results, present findings, drive design resolution, and provide status reports to track program metrics.
  • Build behavioral models for part or all of the analog components to support AMS verification, and provide models for full-chip digital verification.
  • Coordinate with internal team members and contractors, including screening and onboarding contractors as needed to complete deliverables.
  • Establish standardized AMS verification and modeling methodology with peers.
  • Other
    • Embody our culture and values.


Qualifications

Required/minimum qualifications

  • Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 1+ year(s) experience in industry or in a research and development environment, could include completion of a post doctoral research position
    • OR Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
    • OR Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
    • OR equivalent experience


Other Requirements:

  • Ability to leverage AI tools to drive innovation and efficiency (e.g., performance modeling and analysis, research gathering, day to day task automation).
  • Ability to work in an "AI-first" environment using modern AI tools to accelerate discovery through hardware development.


Preferred Qualifications:
  • 10+ years of experience in analog and Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) verification, including delivery of verified analog and mixed-signal designs into mass production.
  • Hands-on experience with both analog simulation and digital simulation, and the ability to simulate them together for system-level AMS verification.
  • Proficient use of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools from Cadence, Mentor, and Synopsys, including AMS tools such as Synopsys XA and Cadence Spectre AMS.
  • Proficient in digital verification setup using Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) or Open Verification Methodology (OVM) testbenches.
  • Experience working with analog blocks such as Voltage-Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), charge pumps, interpolators, bandgap references, Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs), Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs), Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog Converters (ADCs/DACs), Low-Dropout Regulators (LDOs), Serializer/Deserializers (SerDes), and other foundational analog blocks.
  • Proficient in behavioral modeling for corners and variability of performance and process spread.
  • Experience with silicon characterization of AMS blocks and release to production.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB for complex modeling and visualization.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python and Perl, including automation of simulation and data analysis environments.
