Learn more about realizing the value of quantum computing today and how D-Wave is shaping the quantum-driven industrial and societal advancements of tomorrow: D-Wave is seeking a Superconducting Integrated Circuit (IC) Designer to join our IC Design team, which builds the chips at the heart of our quantum computers. These chips are some of the most complex superconducting integrated circuits ever fabricated and require a sophisticated, customized electronic design automation (EDA) toolchain.

Modeling, designing, and improving performance of devices on a superconducting quantum processor. These devices include Josephson junctions, qubits, SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices), SFQ (single flux quantum) gates, QFPs (quantum flux parametrons), resonators, and many others. Topological and parametric design of a variety of novel devices and/or device enhancements to improve processor performance or enable current capabilities.

Understanding the impact of the processor’s environment, including packaging, I/O, electronics and cryogenic elements, and developing approaches to mitigate it.



Verify designs for correctness and manufacturability Work with custom software infrastructure for superconducting IC design Debug challenging technical issues that arise in your own work or those of colleagues A post-secondary degree in electronic engineering, physics, computer science, or a closely related field. A graduate degree with relevant specialization, plus 0-2 years of relevant experience, or a bachelor’s degree plus 2-4 years of relevant experience.

IC design experience (in industry or academic) including analog, quantum, or rf design experience. Solid programming skills, including demonstrated ability to collaborate on codebases. Strong problem-solving skills and persistence in the face of technical challenges; ability to apply these skills broadly in many different contexts.

Bonus

Skills (Nice To Have) Qubit design or qubit control EDA software development and customization Experience with quantum-mechanical modeling of superconducting devices. Proficiency in multiple programming languages, Common Lisp, Python, and Cadence SKILL in particular. As leaders we motivate & engage our teams to undertake beyond what they originally thought possible, by developing our teams & creating the conditions for people to grow and empower themselves through enabling & coaching.

We believe providing D-Wavers with company ownership, competitive pay, and a range of meaningful benefits is the start of creating a culture where people want to give the best they’ve got — not because they’re simply making money, but because they’ve fallen in love with our vision, mission, values, and team. During the interview process, your Recruiter will review our total rewards (base, equity, bonus, perks, benefit, culture) offerings.
