Job Description

Job Description
As a member of Rigetti’s Control Systems team, you will design, develop, test, and deploy hardware that generates microwave pulses that control and read the qubits in our quantum computer. You’ll collaborate closely with embedded software engineers, mechanical engineers, and physicists to deliver cutting-edge quantum control solutions. We’re looking for someone who will deepen our team’s expertise in low-noise mixed-signal board design — including specifying and designing critical circuit components such as low-noise power supply rails, precise clock distribution, and high-speed transceivers.

We're seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer with a proven track record of leading projects across diverse teams and driving technical excellence in fast-paced, high-growth environments. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with exceptional communication and leadership skills, effectively translating complex concepts for diverse audiences and influencing key design and delivery decisions. This individual fosters a culture of innovation, accountability, and rigorous engineering design, while mentoring others to achieve their highest potential.
Key Responsibilities
  • Collaborate with internal and external team members to generate system requirements
  • Capture circuit board schematic and layout for designs containing digital, analog, and RF components
  • Create and execute test plans using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and VNAs (also qubits!)
Required Qualifications
  • Previous experience working in startups or dynamic work environments
  • BS or MS degree in EE, or equivalent, with 10+ years experience
  • Ability to operate standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and VNAs)
  • Excellent communication skills and an ability to interact across different disciplines
  • Demonstrated success taking designs from conception through the full design cycle, including manufacturing and test
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with analog design and simulation (SPICE or equivalent)
  • Knowledge of signal processing concepts: Nyquist zones, convolution, cross-correlation, numerically-controlled oscillators
  • Focus on supporting other teams and a desire to jump in and help
  • Exposure to Verilog/VHDL and digital hardware design and FPGA development
  • Familiarity with Python scripting (especially scientific Python libraries like numpy and scipy)
  • Understanding of RF design and test
Base Salary
Rigetti complies with all local and state regulations in regards to displaying salary ranges. Final compensation for this role will be determined by various factors such as a candidate’s relevant work experience, skills, and geographic location. Rigetti offers a full slate of benefits from competitive salaries, equity, medical, dental and vision for employees as well as a 401(k) plan, a paid parental leave program, rejuvenation days, and a vacation policy that aligns with local regulations and industry standards.
As engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. Our technology, meant to serve all of humanity, cannot succeed if those who built it do not mirror the diversity of the communities we serve. Applications from women, minorities, and other under-represented groups are encouraged.
