Jobs at Nu Quantum

Design and simulate passive and active photonic components for quantum photonic integrated circuits. Develop layouts, design libraries, and PDKs; collaborate with foundries and fabrication teams on manufacturability; analyze test data to improve designs; and work with engineers, scientists, architects, and external partners to develop scalable quantum networking hardware.

Develop and verify FPGA RTL and embedded C/Rust code for real-time quantum networking control systems. The role involves working with Xilinx Zynq and Ultrascale devices, ARTIQ Sinara hardware, debugging tools, communication protocols, testbenches, timing, and CI/CD automation. The engineer will collaborate with software, electronics, optical, and physics teams to deploy multi-node quantum networking systems and contribute to documentation, testing, and next-generation White Rabbit-based platforms.

Designs, prototypes, tests, and debugs high-performance analogue and mixed-signal electronics for quantum networking hardware. Responsibilities include circuit calculations and simulations, component selection, schematics, PCB layouts, prototype manufacturing, laboratory testing, experimental data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration with physics, optics, software, FPGA, mechanical, and product teams. The role also contributes to project planning, timescales, budgets, and system deployment.

Develop software, firmware, user interfaces, and automation tools for quantum networking systems. Interface with optical, electronic, mechanical, and scientific hardware; collaborate with FPGA and electronics specialists; support product demonstrators and measurement control; and deliver maintainable, tested code within an agile team.

Lead and grow the Testbed Optics group to design, build, automate, and characterise advanced optical systems for quantum photon interfaces and networking. Provide technical leadership, mentor staff, establish best practices, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive optics roadmap and system-level optimisation.

Define and own neutral-atom network system architecture and specifications, lead hardware architecture and qubit control strategy, model high-fidelity networking and remote entanglement, align cross-functional teams for product and engineering delivery, and guide projects toward distributed fault-tolerant quantum computing testbeds.
