Electronic Design Engineer

At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve successfully transitioned quantum computing from an academic dream into a commercial reality. The most exciting thing is that we’re just getting started.

As a Staff Electronic Design Engineer, you will define the electronic architectures that power scalable quantum computing systems. You'll solve complex system-level challenges spanning high-speed electronics, synchronisation, integration, and manufacturability, helping to deliver the next generation of quantum control hardware.

The Role

As a senior technical leader within our Control Hardware team, you'll drive the architecture, design, and delivery of highly integrated electronic systems that enable high-performance qubit control, deterministic synchronisation, and data acquisition across distributed quantum computing platforms. You'll work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, influence long-term hardware strategy, and provide technical leadership across the organisation.

What You'll Be Working On

• Architecting scalable, high-performance electronic systems for quantum control platforms, balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and long-term scalability.
• Leading the design and development of complex hardware systems, including schematic capture, component selection, and review of high-density multilayer PCB designs.
• Driving technical decision-making across the hardware development lifecycle, ensuring robust and practical engineering solutions.
• Collaborating with FPGA, embedded software, mechanical, cryogenic, systems, and deployment teams to define interfaces and integration strategies across the control hardware stack.
• Defining validation strategies, acceptance criteria, and technical specifications while managing engagement with external suppliers and manufacturing partners.
• Leading hardware integration, validation, debugging, and root-cause analysis activities to ensure reliable product delivery.
• Mentoring engineers, leading technical reviews, and contributing to the evolution of OQC's hardware architecture, engineering standards, and development methodologies.

What We're Looking For

• Significant experience developing complex high-speed electronic systems.

• Experience working across full hardware product development lifecycles.

• Proven track record collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams on integrated systems.

• Experience with hardware validation, integration, debugging, and system-level problem solving.
