About the job

Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to contribute to transformative projects at the forefront of quantum computing research. You will contribute to the quantum team’s mission by developing digital electronics for the control and readout of our quantum computers. You will be part of a team developing electronics for our current and next generation quantum computers and, in this context, will own development projects, working with quantum engineers, software engineers, and other hardware engineers to scope out, architect, and implement FPGA based systems.

You will have a deep understanding of the FPGA development cycle, from microarchitecture, RTL development, verification, bit file generation to hardware debugging. You will take ownership of projects and deliver reliable systems. Adept debugging skills on FPGAs and debugging failures after deployment is essential for this role. You will be passionate and self motivated to guide a lean team to achieve team’s goals and employ effective communication skills to facilitate seamless collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

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 $147,000-$216,000 + 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.
