About the job
As an Electromagnetic (EM) Engineer focusing on quantum chip packaging, you will be responsible for the EM modeling and validation of next-generation packages and interconnects to optimize their designs. You will use cryogenic microwave measurements and mechanical design inputs to construct high-fidelity 3D electromagnetic models for microwave packages, interconnects, and signal delivery lines. You will operate at the intersection of mechanical and electromagnetic engineering, ensuring that high-speed signals maintain integrity through complex package transitions to the qubit chip.
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.Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits.

Responsibilities
- Develop high-fidelity 3D electromagnetic models of device packages, transitions, and microwave cavities using Ansys High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) or CST Studio Suite.
- Conduct high-frequency measurements using Vector Network Analyzer (VNAs) and Time Domain Reflectometer (TDRs) to characterize physical prototypes, in cryogenic set ups.
- Lead efforts to "close the loop" by correlating empirical lab data with virtual 3D EM models to refine simulation models.
- Interface with chip designers and packaging teams to provide design guidelines.
- Perform analyses on package geometries to mitigate discontinuities, return loss, and crosstalk.
