Advanced Systems Engineer - 538

We are seeking an Advanced Systems Engineer in our Broomfield, CO, location to join the team developing our Apollo quantum computer (Quantinuum system roadmap). The ideal candidate will be an early-career engineer with some background in Electrical Engineering, design conceptualization, and systems engineering. This role will work alongside technical leaders to define, document, and maintain the system architecture, interfaces (electrical, mechanical, optical, & software), & requirements for various subsystems within the Apollo quantum computer. This role will be instrumental in bridging the system's ultimate architectural vision with practical implementation based on insight learned from iterative design of prototypes. The individual in this role will act as a communication hub for technical decision-making and documentation, ensuring that the team's collective expertise is captured, understood, and effectively leveraged throughout the product's development cycle. Candidates should expect to be immersed in a fast-paced, multi-functional, team-based, and challenging technical environment where an individual with talent and initiative can stand out and thrive.

Key Responsibilities:

• System engineering for electrical subsystems R&D on our next-generation trapped-ion quantum computer
• Manage system requirements, interface documents, and engineering documentation, with a focus on facilitating prototyping that will build into our final system
• Working with other systems engineers, sub-system leads & system architects, you will derive, organize, and communicate the requirements & interfaces across the team, developing the system
• You will act as a consultant to subsystem teams as they derive detailed subsystem requirements from higher-level requirements, ensure that requirements are understood, mutually compatible, & complete
• Focus on value added at this early stage of maturity for the system and enable quick design iterations to prove out system concepts

YOU MUST HAVE:

• Bachelor's degree minimum
• Minimum 4+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum 4+ years background doing requirement based design
• Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status

WE VALUE:

• Strong communication verbal and written communication skills
• Strong interest in generating near term value to R&D efforts & system architecture through iterative development of requirements, interfaces, & architecture
• Experience working with cross functional teams developing electronics, optics, and software
• Background doing early-stage R&D with cross functional teams
• Background in requirements engineering, system verification, and validation processes
• Proficiency in system modeling, simulations, and analysis tools
• Experience with Python, MATLAB or related languages
• Ability to build strong relationships and effectively partner with others
