IBM Quantum is seeking talented engineers to join the quantum hardware design/simulation team at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. The team focuses on delivering quantum processor and processor-adjacent designs to meet a variety of internal needs, and develops and drives the methodology to make these designs successful. Designs span in scope from exploratory research to production-roadmap quantum processor unit development.
Your Role And Responsibilities
The successful candidate will join the core quantum processor unit (QPU) design team, contributing directly both to processor designs (consisting of networks of interconnected/coupled qubits with the full infrastructure for control/readout) and testsite designs in support of innovation breakthroughs for QPU technologies. This role will focus on microwave engineering aspects of QPU design, and requires strong familarity with traditional microwave engineering and test procedures. Familiarity with network theory and non-linear microwave concepts is a bonus. In addition, the role involves continual interlock and work with the experimental team to continually identify and close gaps in model-hardware correlation, driving advancement of the quantum hardware design and simulation flows. Applicants are expected to have experience with relevant hardware development tools such as Keysight ADS, Ansys Electronics Desktop, Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre etc. Familiarity with quantum device design and/or quantum computing engineering is preferred. Because the role includes collaboration between several diverse and dynamic teams of technical and operations personnel, good communication skills, initiative, and a strong sense of responsibility are key.
Responsibilities Include
- Participation in high-level design for QPUs and quantum hardware testsites
- Connectivity/schematic capture for quantum hardware releases
- Detailed mask layout and chip finishing for quantum hardware releases
- EM simulation and model development for quantum hardware components and full designs
-
Driving of model-hardware correlation activities
Doctorate Degree
Required Technical And Professional Expertise
- Microwave/RF engineering design experience
- EM simulation experience (Ansys Electronics Desktop, Keysight Momentum, Cadence Clarity etc.)
-
Mask/PCB layout experience (Cadence Virtuoso, KLayout, Synopsys Custom Compiler, Cadence Allegro, Altium Designer etc.)
- Microwave network theory
- Non-linear microwave concepts
- Quantum device design
- Quantum computing experience
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
