System Architect

Quantum Machines is the global leader in control systems for quantum computing, a field on the verge of exponential growth, bringing about opportunities like those made possible with the invention of classical computing 50 years ago.

At QM, we provide the world’s most leading researchers and organizations with the critical tools they need to develop useful quantum computers. QM’s hardware and software represent a new paradigm for controlling quantum computers, from a single qubit to hundreds and thousands. We are assembling the strongest team of professionals in the world with the goal of revolutionizing how quantum computers are built and controlled and accelerating their arrival. Quantum Machines is backed by globally recognized venture capital sponsors, including TLV Partners, Battery Ventures, Red Dot Capital Partners, Avigdor Willenz’ investment group, Harel Insurance, and others.

We are seeking an exceptional architect to join our architecture team and shape the future of quantum control. As quantum computers approach scale and production, we have a unique opportunity to set the architecture of the next-generation quantum computers and push forward practical quantum computing. In order to meet the real-time and scale requirements of state-of-the-art quantum computers, we need to rethink processor architecture.

In this role, you will define the architecture of the next generation pulse processor and its usage model for the compiler. Architecture of quantum control requires a deep understanding of quantum technology with the ability to transform the product requirements and research feedback into development specifications. You will work closely with the different R&D teams, in particular with the logic and algorithms and compiler team, contributing across all development phases from proof of concept to definition and reviews.

Responsibilities:

• Architecture for the quantum control core including the pulse processor and compiler
• Define system-level architecture and features, providing detailed specifications to the various R&D teams, focusing on the logic and algorithms & compiler group.
• Collaborate with the product and research teams to transform high level requirements into architecture and spec definitions.
• Define performance requirements and benchmarks, understand and address bottlenecks.
• Lead, formulate, and assess research and proof-of-concepts (POCs) for new architecture capabilities and experiment hands-on as needed.
  
  

• BSc. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent. MSc. or PhD – an advantage.
• 6+ years experience in logic architecture and/or system architecture with a preference for experience in high-performance processors or communication systems.
• 3+ years of experience in logic chip design or verification.
• Fast learner, strong technical skills, with capacity and the foundation to comprehend and analyze academic content.
• Ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Background in digital signal processing - an advantage
• Background in quantum physics/quantum computing – an advantage
