Senior FPGA Engineer

At Quantum Circuits Inc., we are building the world’s first truly algorithmic quantum computers to achieve transformational computing capabilities.  Our full-stack quantum computing platform uses superconducting devices along with a modular, robust, and scalable architecture.  Our unique approach is based on a decade of technology research and breakthroughs at Yale University's world-renowned quantum labs.  

We are seeking an experienced Senior FPGA Engineer to join our dynamic team and work on developing critical signal processing and real time control. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with System Verilog for synthesis and simulation, AMD Xilinx RFSoC, mixed signal processing, and system architecture design.  Candidates should have a proven track record of tackling difficult FPGA problems and ability to be productive in a small team.  Python proficiency is also required.

• Design System Verilog modules for low-latency, high bandwidth signal processing chain.
• Contribute to architecture discussion and decisions up-stack to Quantum Compiler engineers as well as down-stack to the RF hardware designers.
• Manage a complex tool-chain and test/verification environment.
• Write efficient, maintainable System Verilog code as part of a small team.
• Troubleshoot and debug issues, develop unit tests.
• Remote or hybrid position based in New Haven, CT to be discussed with the candidate.
• Sponsorship available.

• Minimum BSEE or BSCE, MSEE or MSCE preferred. 
• Minimum 5+ years of FPGA development experience with Verilog/System Verilog.
• Proficient in Python.
• AMD Xilinx Soc experience.
