Quantum Design Lead
to lead the team responsible for the design and simulation of superconducting quantum processors. This role combines technical leadership of the design team with direct, hands-on contribution to processor architecture, simulation, and layout work. The ideal candidate has a strong background in superconducting qubits and finite-element simulation, paired with the experience to manage, prioritize, and grow a technical team.
Technical Contribution: Personally contributes to designing quantum processor architectures, performing finite-element simulations to extract key device parameters, and drawing final layouts for fabrication.
People Management: Manages the design teams career growth, holidays, training, onboarding, performance, and compliance with policies and protocols, in coordination with the Head of Division.
Delivery Ownership: Responsible for the teams delivery of processor designs. Plans capacity, coordinates execution, and removes blockers to ensure timely and quality output.
