Lead Digital Electrical Engineer - 607

We are seeking aLead Digital Electrical Engineer in ourBroomfield, Co, location to join the team developing our Apollo quantum computer (Quantinuum system roadmap). The ideal candidate will be a mid-career Electrical engineer with a background in system conceptualization, design, manufacture, & test of complex electrical systems. This role will work alongside technical leaders to refine the system architecture, prototype & design electronics in the Apollo quantum computer control system. This role will be instrumental in bridging the system’s ultimate architectural vision with practical implementation based on insight learned from iterative design of prototypes. The individual in this role will be primarily focused on the core digital control system, which facilitates the precise coordination of a massive amount of electronics required to operate our quantum computers. Candidates should expect to be immersed in a fast-paced, multi-functional, team-based, and challenging technical environment where an individual with talent and initiative can stand out and thrive. Quantinuum believes that employees work better, more efficiently and more collaboratively in close proximity to other employees, where ideas can be exchanged readily, and decisions can be made more quickly for the benefit of the Company and our customers. All employees should work at their assigned location; however, this role may offer the opportunity to work remotely up to 2 days per week, with approval.
