QuEra Computing Inc.
Senior Electrical Engineer
The Hardware Engineering Organization at QuEra Computing is seeking strong candidates for a QPU Electrical Engineer to support the company’s mission of building state‑of‑the‑art, manufacturable, and deployable neutral atom quantum computers. The organization plays a crucial role in accelerating the company’s technology leadership and translating scientific breakthroughs into products delivered to customers. We are looking for a candidate with a rich background developing electronics projects from concept through production and support, with experience at both enterprise‑scale companies and startups. Technical knowledge should include at least one of the following: low‑noise analog design, high‑speed digital systems, RF systems, FPGA‑based control, or precision timing, with the ability to learn additional areas quickly.
Key Responsibilities
Design precision analog, mixed‑signal, and digital electronics supporting quantum control systems.
Collaborate with physicists, software developers, and mechanical engineers to define system requirements and interfaces.
Develop hardware subsystems including power delivery, low‑noise analog front‑ends, high‑speed digital control, and RF/microwave circuitry.
Perform PCB layout (Altium preferred) and validation, working closely with manufacturing partners.
Guide bring‑up, test, and debug of custom boards and system‑level integration.
Follow best practices in electrical design, including design reviews, documentation, and validation procedures.
Strive for continuous improvement of system performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Required Qualifications
BS, MS in Electrical Engineering or closely‑related field.
5+ years of experience designing complex electrical systems in analog and digital domains.
Proven expertise in one or more of: low‑noise analog design, high‑speed digital systems, RF systems, FPGA‑based control, or precision timing.
Experience with hardware bring‑up, lab debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers), and system integration.
Proficiency with tools such as Altium Designer, LTspice, MATLAB, or Python for simulation and analysis.
Strong documentation and communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced, interdisciplinary startup environment.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in instrumentation or control systems for complex scientific or industrial equipment.
Soldering/Rework experience for quick debug efforts.
Experience working in a regulated or safety‑critical environment (e.g., aerospace, medical, or high‑voltage systems).
Hands‑on experience with firmware development or embedded systems is a plus.
Compensation The approximate base salary range for this position is $136,000 – $212,500. In addition, we provide equity grants for all new hires.
Equal Opportunity Employment QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
