RF/Microwave Researcher

About the role

IBM Quantum is seeking talented researchers to contribute to the development of advanced high-performance circuits and subsystems for quantum computing systems. We focus on the design and system integration of microwave components such as quantum limited and low-noise amplifiers and isolators in superconducting qubit readout chains.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development of novel superconducting qubit measurement systems.
• Create and communicate technical ideas.
• Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team.
• Work successfully with a diverse and dynamic team of both operational and technical personnel.
• Work independently and take initiative.

Requirements

• Demonstrated RF/microwave filter design knowledge: notch filters, bandpass filters, diplexers.
• Mastery of EM modeling, circuit design, and layout tools (e.g., Keysight ADS, EMPro tools, Ansys HFSS, Cadence/Clarity tools, COMSOL).
• Familiarity with a variety of test equipment, such as vector network analyzers.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with superconducting parametric amplifiers or related devices.
• Familiarity with trilayer Josephson junction devices or similarly complex device architectures.
• Prior experience working across large collaborations.

Preferred Education: Doctorate Degree
