Digital Electrical Design Engineer

Quantum Machines is a global leader in control systems for quantum computing, a field on the verge of exponential growth. Our innovative hardware and software mark a groundbreaking approach in quantum computer control, scaling from individual qubits to expansive arrays of thousands. At the core of QM lies a passionate and ambitious team committed to reshaping the construction and operation of quantum computers. Our work is fueled by a deep understanding of customer needs, driving us to deliver unparalleled solutions in this revolutionary field.

The hardware development team spans two global sites – one in Tel Aviv and one in Copenhagen. The two teams work seamlessly together across projects, and we try to foster an open dialogue to foster creativity and commitment. The hardware team is responsible for all hardware within QM spanning from room-temperature control hardware to our cryogenic QPU carriers.

We are seeking a
Digital Electrical Design Engineer
with extensive experience in board-level digital design, high-speed interfaces, and embedded systems. In this role, you'll be a technical lighthouse within our Hardware R&D team—guiding complex, high-speed digital designs from concept through production. You'll collaborate closely with firmware engineers, system architects, and other cross-functional teams spread across multiple global sites. While prior quantum or cryogenic experience isn't required, an interest in learning about these cutting-edge fields is a plus.

Key Responsibilities:

• Digital Board-Level Design
  : Architect, design, and implement advanced digital solutions involving FPGAs, microcontrollers, and high-speed communication interfaces (multi-GHz range).
• High-Speed Signal Integrity
  : Develop and validate clocking solutions up to the tens of GHz range and handle GT lines to ensure robust, reliable performance.
• End-to-End Development
  : Own the entire hardware lifecycle—from concept and schematic design in Altium to layout review, testing, and production release.
• Design for Manufacturing & Test (DFM/DFT)
  : Integrate manufacturing and testing considerations into your designs, collaborating with supply chain and production teams to ensure scalability and cost-effectiveness.
• Technical Collaboration
  : Work closely with firmware engineers, system architects, and cross-site R&D teams to ensure seamless hardware–firmware integration.
• Remote Coordination
  : Engage in significant remote collaboration with minimal travel, leveraging Agile and Kanban methodologies for project execution.
• Subject Matter Expert
  : Serve as a go-to resource for digital design best practices, helping to maintain high engineering standards across the organization.

Requirements:

Qualifications:

• 10+ years
  of hands-on experience in digital electronics design (board-level), focusing on FPGA-based systems, microcontroller integration, and/or high-speed communication.
• Demonstrated expertise in
  high-speed signal integrity
  , including multi-GHz clocks and GT lines.
• Proficiency with
  Altium
  or similar PCB design tools.
• Understanding of
  Agile
  and/or
  Kanban
  methodologies in a hardware development context.
• Proven track record of taking products from concept through
  production
  , including schematic design, layout oversight, and system bring-up.
• Experience with
  DFM
  and
  DFT
  principles, plus involvement in supply chain and production processes.
• Excellent communication
  skills in English, with the ability to collaborate across geographical boundaries.
• B.Sc. or higher
  degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Personal Attributes:

• Passionate Technologist
  : Thrives on complex challenges and cutting-edge design work.
• Team Player
  : Enjoys collaborating with global, cross-functional teams in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• Independent & Proactive
  : Takes ownership of responsibilities, drives initiatives forward, and maintains a can-do attitude.
• Adaptable
  : Comfortable with uncertainty and rapidly evolving priorities in a matrix organization.
