About the role

Electrical Engineer role focused on developing sophisticated electronics for quantum hardware, translating requirements into robust PCB designs, and collaborating across disciplines from design through verification and manufacturing within Microsoft Quantum.

Responsibilities

  • Translate electrical requirements, schematics, constraints, and mechanical inputs into complex PCB assembly designs and layouts.
  • Own architecture and implementation of electrical subsystems
  • Independently develop and maintain board design documentation, including schematics, electrical constraint specifications, and fabrication and assembly outputs, through established release processes.
  • Define component selection for a particular subsystem, drive down selection process from several options into one design direction
  • Collaborate with other electrical engineers, mechanical, signal and power integrity, systems integration, and manufacturing partners to resolve interface tradeoffs and incorporate design-review feedback.
  • Develop and support verification plans, board bring-up, hardware characterization, debugging, and root-cause analysis for complex design issues.
  • Identify design and execution risks early, recommend design or process improvements, and communicate project status to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Work closely with FW and SW to understand how electrical design integrates with their project needs, prioritize simplicity and easy debuggability of the system
  • Define stack-ups, placement, routing, grounding, return-path, and layer-use strategies for low-noise, mixed-signal, high-density, and high-reliability electronics. Coordinate with PCB designer on tradeoffs.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, or related field AND 2+ years experience in industry
  • OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • OR equivalent experience.
