About the job
In the Device Packaging Group, we build custom packaging technologies for quantum processors, amplifiers, and other devices that operate from DC to microwave frequencies in a cryogenic environment. Our work includes research on quantum processor performance and qubit environment, design of novel packages and test articles, investigation of new technologies, and hardening of current technologies for deployment. Every Google Quantum AI processor comes through our lab for packaging before its deployment to the fleet.
As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will help ensure that Google Quantum AI’s quantum computing systems can be built efficiently and operate reliably, ensuring a high velocity for research and development on quantum platforms. The Manufacturing Engineer will design and mature manufacturing, assembly, and related test processes. You will also implement Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Test (DfT) practices for PCB-based electronics, microwave components, and mechanical hardware. You will seek opportunities to graduate in-house procedures to productionize manufacturing, continuously improve the lead-time and quality performance of key partners, and provide technical input for our supplier strategy.
The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $126,000-$181,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
