About The Job

As an Integrated Circuit Designer, you will support the physical design and simulations of quantum processors and associated analog, DC, and RF devices and help to build infrastructure for design production. You will work closely with other members of our team to produce complex processor designs and integrate prototype designs through predefined layout and simulations workflows. Your activities will span from laying out mask schematics and running finite element simulations to integrating design metadata in various software tools and expanding on current design infrastructure and automation.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $147,000-$216,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
