About Us:

Quantum Computing, Inc. (QCi) is a publicly traded (QUBT) full-stack quantum software and hardware company on a mission to accelerate the value of quantum computing for real-world business solutions, delivering the future of quantum computing, today. The company offers accessible and affordable full-stack solutions with real-world industrial applications, using photonic-based quantum entropy, which can be used anywhere and with little to no training, operates at normal room temperatures and low power. QCi is competitively advantaged delivering its quantum solutions at greater speed, accuracy, and security at less cost. QCi's core entropy computing capability, the Dirac series, delivers solutions for both binary and integer-based optimization problems using over 11,000 qubits for binary problems and over 1000 (n=64) qubits for integer-based problems, each of which are the highest number of variables and problem size available in quantum computing today. Using the Company's core quantum methodologies, QCi has also developed specific quantum applications for AI, cybersecurity and remote sensing, including its Reservoir Quantum Computing, reprogrammable and non-repeatable Quantum Random Number Generator and LiDAR products.

Life at Quantum:

Quantum Computing, Inc. thrives on collaboration, every team member works in a cross-functional capacity. While we provide a strong support structure, our startup environment also fosters a high level of autonomy, empowering individuals to take ownership of their tasks. Open communication and continuous feedback are core to our culture, and we take great pride in maintaining an environment that encourages both.

We recognize the importance of work-life balance and understand that life happens. However, due to the highly cross-functional nature of our work, we seek individuals who appreciate the significance of their role and can effectively balance personal priorities with team objectives.

This dynamic environment is especially appealing for early- and mid-career engineers looking to expand their expertise, take on broader responsibilities, and maintain strong ownership over their work

Position Description:

We are seeking a new FPGA Design Engineer to join our Hardware team. You will work directly with a diverse team of experts including quantum scientists, optical, nanofabrication, hardware, FPGA, and embedded engineers. Together, you'll develop prototypes and photonic-based products across multiple application areas including quantum computing, quantum intelligence, quantum remote sensing, quantum bio-imaging, and quantum cybersecurity.

This is a unique opportunity to participate in the architecture design of multiple new FPGA projects in the pipeline, and to work closely with some of the brightest scientists and engineers in lithium niobate, photonic-based quantum technologies. If you enjoy the excitement of solving complex problems, creating realistic application quantum benefits, and working in a fast-paced, innovative environment, this could be the perfect role for you!

• Develop and Design real-time computational and digital algorithms and systems using FPGAs.
• Develop RTL code for use within multiple projects. Analyze and enhance efficiency, scalability, and stability of the system resources .
• Integrate multiple FPGAs and off-the-shelf hardware devices into our quantum device architecture.
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to design and customize quantum systems with customers requirements/feedbacks
• Design, implement, simulate, and test the operation of the FPGA logic and systems
• Document architectures, test results, and codes

Required Skills and Experience:

• 3-5 years of FPGA design experience
• Expertise in System Verilog/Verilog
• Proficiency in RTL simulation (ModelSim, etc.) and building testbenches to verify your design.
• Experience with Altera(Intel) or Xilinx FPGAs and associated development tools
• Experience working with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, and comfortable with hardware debugging
• Experience with high-speed FPGA transceivers (10/40/100Gbps Ethernet) and in digital hardware circuit design are preferred
• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal)
• Collaborative teammate who is supportive of co-workers and contributes to problem solving
• Ability to work well in a fast-paced professional office environment and manage simultaneous tasks and deliverables
• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering Required
• Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering Preferred
