Bonus Points

 * Direct experience working with superconducting and quantum circuits.
 * Familiarity with quantum design and layout tools (such as Qiskit Metal, KLayout, or GDSFactory), as well as CI/CD pipelines.
 * Knowledge of nanofabrication processes and cryogenic measurement techniques.

## Description

Our Quantum Processor Team is seeking a Quantum Design Engineer to support the development of the next generation of processors. This role is focused on quantum chip design and the development of the design workflows that enable scalable processor development.

You will contribute to the design and optimisation of on-chip quantum components while also helping to build and maintain the underlying design infrastructure, including PDKs, DRC flows and tapeout generation tools. Working closely with experienced designers and fabrication teams, you will play an important role in supporting the development of our large-scale QPUs.

 * Contribute to the development of quantum chip design tools including PDKs, DRCs, tuners and tape-out generation tools.
 * Own quantum chip design projects for R&D and product development, contributing to the design and optimisation of new quantum processors.
 * Manage the full development loop for the chips you design, coordinating with fabrication and measurement teams to ensure successful transfer and execution.
 * Support Foundry customers in designing chips that conform to QuantWare's PDK, providing guidance throughout the design process to meet technical and operational standards.
 * Drive process improvement initiatives, identifying bottlenecks and recommending enhancements to tools, workflows, and design-to-tapeout processes for improved efficiency.
