Responsibilities
- Devise and implement low-latency algorithms and methods to solve various time-critical tasks that take place in the data-plane of an optical quantum computer.
- Work with other digital-design experts to integrate algorithms into FPGAs.
- Collaborate closely with physicists and digital designers to arbitrate design choices and optimize designs to meet algorithmic performance while matching latency, throughput and footprint constraints.
- Implement cycle-accurate Python models to be integrated in discrete-time-event simulations.
- Implement SystemVerilog implementations matching Python models.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related discipline.
- Team player with an ability to work effectively across departments and time-zones.
