Electronic Distribution Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Milpitas, California, United States

PsiQuantum’s mission is to build the first useful quantum computers—machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million‑qubit, fault‑tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.

Our architecture and approach are based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like GlobalFoundries—we use the same high‑volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber‑optic infrastructure.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government‑funded projects to support the build‑out of our first utility‑scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale.

PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes‑Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real‑world impact.

The Senior System Electronics Integration Engineer reports into the System Design organization. This role is responsible for the integration, validation and troubleshooting of complex electronic subsystems as part of the Electronic Distribution Network (EDN). The engineer will ensure multiple hardware subsystems operate together reliably and meet overall system performance requirements.

• Define and manage system interfaces, including power distribution, timing distribution, cabling, connectivity, and integration of electronic subsystems and components.
• Plan and execute EDN rack, vacuum, and cryo layout and connectivity.
• Develop and execute system‑level integration and validation test plans to ensure hardware, firmware, and software work together effectively as a cohesive system architecture.
• Coordinate cross‑functionally to meet requirements and schedule with System Design leads, Electronics Design, Packaging Design, Validation, System Commissioning, System Architecture, and Quantum Operating Software teams.
• Ensure compliance with system requirements, safety standards, and design specifications.
• Create and maintain documentation such as interface control documents, schematics, design specifications, and contribute to system BOMs.

Required:

• BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in system electronics integration.
• Experience with clock distribution, power distribution, grounding schemes, firmware validation and software control.
• Experience with software controls in Python.
• Strong organizational skills, excellent communication, attention to detail, and ability to multitask.
• Strong critical thinking skills, demonstrated problem‑solving and debugging in complex systems.
• Ability to work independently with limited direction.

Preferred:

• Experience with hardware development of active photonic integrated circuits (PICs), optical transceivers, RF products.
• Experience with high‑speed signal integrity or power electronics.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC considerations and mitigation techniques.
• Experience with vacuum and cryogenic systems.
