Principal ASIC Design Engineer

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs.

Requirements

• Establish Internal Processes: Define ASIC design methodologies across CAD flow selection, architecture, RTL, verification, and tape-out.
• Vendor & Strategy Ownership: Evaluate and select external partners (Design Houses vs. Pure-play Foundries) and manage the tape-out path (MPW vs. Dedicated mask sets).
• Modeling & Simulation: Develop high-level behavioral models (Matlab/SystemVerilog) to simulate the entire control loop and RF signal chain before committing to silicon.
• Hands-on Design: Lead microarchitecture and RTL development for proprietary, low-latency RF pulse sequence generation.
• Verification Leadership: Own the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) strategy and formal verification to ensure first-pass functional success.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with quantum physicists and optical engineers to understand use cases and deliver hardware that meets stringent fidelity requirements.
• Roadmap Management: Manage subsystem delivery schedules for both commercial and research projects.
