Staff Digital Design Engineer at PsiQuantum

PsiQuantumsmission is to build the first useful quantum computersmachines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016 our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit fault-tolerant quantum systems.Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy pharmaceuticals finance agriculture transportation materials and other foundational industries.Our architecture and approachisbased on silicon photonics. Byleveragingthe advanced semiconductor manufacturing industryincluding partners like GlobalFoundrieswe use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photonsdontfeel heat are immune to electromagnetic interference and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.In 2024PsiQuantumannounced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane Australia and Chicago Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically definingand that now is the time to scale.PsiQuantumalso develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application software and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companiesincluding Lockheed Martin Mercedes-Benz Boehringer Ingelheim and Mitsubishi Chemicalto prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. Itrepresentsa fundamental shiftand a path to mastering challenges that cannot besolvedany other way. The potential is enormous and we have a clearpathto make it real.Come join us.Job Summary:The digital design engineer will join PsiQuantums Electronic Sub-Systems team in the development of innovative digital microarchitecture definition documentation implementation and validation for FPGAs.Responsibilities:Logic design debugging and verification using Verilog/SystemVerilog for FPGAs.FPGA synthesis constrains and implementation.Perform functional verification and debugging of digital designs using simulation tools.FPGA testing and validation in laboratory to ensure functionality and performance meet spec.Contribute to analysis of system requirements needed to generate digital microarchitecture definition and documentation.Collaborate with system architecture software and firmware teams.Experience/Qualifications:Degree in computer engineering electrical engineers computer science or related field.
