Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Quantum Control Systems Engineer, you will work across the technical stack to build, test, measure, characterize, debug, and benchmark the world's most advanced quantum computing systems. You will contribute to the development and integration of novel quantum control electronics and infrastructure, working closely with experimental physicists, IC designers, system architects, and software teams to deliver solutions aligned with the IBM Quantum Roadmap.
This is a breadth‑focused role, requiring versatility, strong problem‑solving skills, and a willingness to tackle challenges spanning hardware, firmware, software, and system integration. The exact focus of the role will evolve based on program needs, as well as your skills and interests.
Example Responsibilities Include
- Support the bring‑up, wiring, debug, and characterization of novel quantum computing and quantum control electronics systems
- Integrate highly complex components into large‑scale quantum systems
- Design and evaluate test infrastructure for signal wiring, amplifiers, cryogenic components, and control electronics
- Operate, debug, and characterize systems using lab instrumentation at both room and cryogenic temperatures
- Develop and run experiments to benchmark novel control electronics
- Write software and firmware to control measurement and test equipment
- Contribute to the development and debug of low‑level embedded systems such as microcontrollers, FPGA's, and PC boards
- Develop automated software for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing experimental data
- Write calibration routines and experiments for evaluating quantum processors and control electronics
- Analyze ISA documentation and assembly output to trace and debug ASIC behavior
- Collaborate across experimental, hardware, IC design, PCB, firmware, software, and deployment teams to deliver integrated solutions
