As a Junior Quantum System Architect, you will be working together with experienced System Architects at NXP who are currently developing cryo-CMOS electronics for trapped-ion based quantum computers. You will have the opportunity to work on the projects that will address the scalability challenges in Quantum Computing with integrated cryo-CMOS electronics. Furthermore you will:
Your Responsibilities
Model trapped-ion qubits and their quantum mechanical coupling, including imperfections, noise, crosstalk, cryogenic material properties, and model optical read-out of the qubits.
Model & design quantum, magnetic, thermal, and optical subsystems, and optimize their properties with multi-physics simulations.
Collaborate with IC design and physical design experts to implement your findings in ion trap chips, control chips, optical read-out chips, thermal management, etc.
Experimentally validate your models and designs in cryogenic systems.
What is in it for you?
The team keeps a healthy mix of 80% R&D and 20% operational activities. This requires a constant eye on innovation. You can contribute to every development phase (i.e., from problem analysis and design to implementation, testing, and bug fixing).
