    • Expertise in superconducting logic such as SFQ, RSFQ, eRSFQ, RQL etc. for design, analysis and testing of logic circuits, boards, and/or ASICs, and experience in superconducting circuity technology.
  • Quantum Computing for qubit approaches that will change as technology advances such as:
    • Qubit development utilizing superconducting circuits for fabrication and RF test/measurement.
    • Qubit development utilizing silicon devices.
    • Qubit development utilizing trapped ions and micro-fabrication techniques.
    • Quantum characterization, verification, and validation.
    • Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing/Quantum Error Correction
    • Microwave/RF Engineering related to circuit design and modeling, waveform synthesis synchronization and transmission, and high frequency acquisition and digitization.
    • Quantum Information Science technologies experience.

Experience, education, and other requirements include:

  • U.S. citizenship.
  • Current U.S. government security clearance or ability to obtain a security clearance.
  • PhD in Physics or related field preferred; qualified candidates with a master's degree in a related discipline will be considered.
