FPGA Lead
New Haven, CT
Software Engineering /
Quantum Circuits, Inc. (QCI) is developing a full-stack quantum computing platform based on superconducting devices and a modular, robust and scalable architecture. QCI was founded by three world-leading experts in quantum devices and information processing from the Department of Applied Physics at Yale University: Michel Devoret, Luigi Frunzio, and Robert Schoelkopf. Their group has produced many scientific firsts, including the development of a "quantum bus" for entangling qubits with wires and the first implementation of a quantum algorithms and error-correction with a solid-state device. QCI's mission is to build the first truly useful quantum computers, and usher in a new age of quantum information – be part of it.
As a QCI FPGA Lead, these are the kind of projects you’d be working on:
- Architect and implement the heart of a multi FPGA-based quantum computing control system
- Designing and implementing digital algorithms on FPGAs to generate RF microwave tones used to control qubits operations
- Integrate high real time constraint, demanding phase and amplitude monitoring, high bandwidth communication and synchronizations between boards.
- Designing firmware that scales to executing large quantum algorithms with low overhead
- Work with Quantum engineers to implement new Quantum operations, RF and Hardware team to integrate in the control rack and Software/compiler team to integrate in the SW stack
- Monitor and improve Quantum computing performances
What we're looking for from you:
- Fluency in VHDL and the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite
- Extensive experience with Digital Signal Processing at RF frequencies
- Extensive experience interfacing with analog components, such as DACs, ADCs, etc.
- Track-record of successfully leading projects to completion
- Backgrounds in computer science, electrical engineering, telecommunications, radar, and or related disciplines a plus
- Excellent attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to work closely on an integrated and collaborative software effort
- Remote work is available for this role with moderate travel requirements during definitions or integrations phases
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
