Senior Electrical Engineer - Analog and Mixed Signal for Quantum in Space

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world’s most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables “quantum everywhere” through our ecosystem of devices and platforms. 

Position Summary 

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in analog and mixed signal designs to join our Emerging Technology team. This individual will be a key contributor in the electrical design, integration, test, and qualification of custom circuits and control system subsystems for operation of deployed quantum systems and sensors in space, terrestrial, and lab-based environments. Initially, this role will be in support of a technology demonstration mission in collaboration with NASA JPL/Goddard that will demonstrate a first-of-its-kind quantum gravity gradient (QGG) sensor on a dedicated satellite. The successful candidate will collaborate with an extended team of electrical engineers, physicists, mechanical engineers, embedded systems engineers, systems engineers, and sub vendors to develop high performance, low noise, radiation tolerant and robust circuits critical to the operation of this exciting new quantum sensing capability demonstrator. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Manage engineering projects and deliver them on time 

• Develop analog circuits, including design, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping build, test, validation, and troubleshooting 

• Design, model, and simulate analog circuits and validate circuit performance through bench testing 

• Preferred focus on low noise and low drift circuit design 

• Design control loops in the analog and digital domains 

• Collaborate with engineers, physicists, and technicians to troubleshoot, debug, and rework existing circuit boards in use 

• Perform quality and performance analysis on new and legacy electrical systems 

• Work with other engineering disciplines on electrical, mechanical, and thermal interface requirements and design 

• Manage and mentor peers and more junior team members to ensure project success 

• Summarize data and report on test results 

• Providing estimates of resources needed to deliver successful projects on schedule and budget 

• Communicating with key stakeholders on progress, barriers, and status 

• Other duties or projects as assigned to ensure mission success
