Quantinuum
We are seeking an
Advanced Systems Engineer
in our
Broomfield, CO
location to join the team developing our Apollo quantum computer (Quantinuum system roadmap). The ideal candidate will be an early-career Electrical engineer with experience in design, system conceptualization, requirements, and documentation. This role will work alongside technical leaders to define, document, and maintain the system architecture, interfaces (electrical, mechanical, optical, and software), and requirements for the electronics in the Apollo quantum computer. The individual will act as a communication hub for technical decision-making and documentation, ensuring that the team's collective expertise is captured, understood, and effectively leveraged throughout the product’s development cycle. Candidates should expect to be immersed in a fast‑paced, multi‑functional, team‑based environment where talent and initiative can thrive.
Base Pay Range $112,000.00/yr - $140,000.00/yr
Key Responsibilities
System architecture, requirements, and documentation for electrical subsystems R&D on our next‑generation trapped‑ion quantum computer.
Manage system requirements, interface documents, and engineering documentation, focusing on facilitating prototyping that will build into our final system.
Work with systems engineers, subsystem leads, and system architects to derive, organize, and communicate requirements, verification plans, and interfaces across the team.
Act as a consultant to subsystem teams as they derive detailed subsystem requirements from higher-level requirements, ensuring that requirements are understood, mutually compatible, verifiable, and complete.
Focus on value added at this early stage of maturity for the system and enable quick design iterations to prove out system concepts.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree minimum.
Minimum 4+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering.
Minimum 4+ years of background doing requirement‑based design.
Experience working with cross‑functional teams developing and testing electronics.
U.S. Person required: U.S. citizen, permanent resident, green card holder, or granted asylum/refugee status.
National security requirements: candidates must not be a China or Russian national unless also a U.S. citizen.
We Value
Strong communication, verbal and written.
Interest in generating near‑term value to R&D efforts and system architecture.
Experience with cross‑functional electronics teams.
Background with optics, software, and low‑noise electronics.
Background in early‑stage R&D with cross‑functional teams.
Experience in requirements engineering, system verification, and validation processes.
Proficiency in system modeling, simulations, and analysis tools.
Experience with Python, MATLAB, or related languages.
Experience with a management tool such as Jama Connect.
Ability to build strong relationships and partner effectively with others.
Benefits
Competitive salary and innovative, game‑changing work.
Flexible work schedule.
Employer‑subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance.
401(k) match for student loan repayment benefit.
Equity, 401(k) retirement savings plan, and 12 paid holidays plus generous vacation and sick time.
Paid parental leave.
Employee discounts.
Compensation and Benefits Non‑Incentive Eligible.
The pay range for this role is $112,000 – $140,000 annually. Actual compensation within this range may vary based on the candidate’s skills, educational background, professional experience, and unique qualifications for the role.
