• Experience with circuit simulation using LTspice or similar
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (preferably Cadence OrCAD)
• Experience with serial communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, etc.)
• Experience with electronics lab/test equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, JTAG debuggers)
• Familiarity with programming languages such as C/C++ and hardware description languages (VHDL or Verilog)
• Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team to bring a hardware system from concept to product to deployment
• Eagerness to work with physicists, mathematicians, cryptographers and cloud engineers in developing, testing and deploying state-of-the-art quantum entropy source modules
  
  
  

Benefits And Perks

• Competitive Pay & Equity
• Medical, dental and vision plan participation
