The Role: 

We are looking for a Senior Electronics Engineer to join our Reliability Engineering team at IonQ. In this role, you will be responsible for finding, root-causing, and permanently resolving electronics  and control hardware issues on our operational trapped-ion quantum computers, contributing to the team's mission of improving fleet uptime and driving down the operational cost of our commercial and development systems.

You'll play an important part in owning the full lifecycle of electrical reliability fixes — from identifying a real-world bottleneck through to standardizing the resulting fix into every future build — working closely with Operations, Science, Manufacturing, and Engineering to keep our quantum systems running reliably and effectively. 

Responsibilities:

In this position, you will work on root-causing, designing, and deploying electronics system design fixes across our fleet of quantum systems, supporting the effective delivery of reliable, development and production hardware. You'll have the opportunity to drive system upgrades, standardize control and drive electronics across systems, and build the observability that catches problems before they cause downtime, contributing directly to the success of the Reliability Engineering team.

Key responsibilities include:

Requirements:

To be successful, you will need strong foundations in analogue, RF, and mixed-signal electronics design, experience with the Altium PCB toolset, familiarity with RF concepts and confidence working directly on operational hardware under time pressure. We're looking for someone who can translate a system-level reliability problem into a concrete engineering solution, work across Operations, Science, and Engineering to get it deployed safely, and document it so it sticks. You'd be a great fit with:

Compensation will vary based on individual factors such as education, qualifications, and experience of the final candidate(s), specific office location, and calibration against relevant market data and internal team equity. Posted base salary figures are subject to change as new market data becomes available. Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k), unlimited PTO and paid holidays, parental/adoption leave, legal insurance, and a home technology stipend. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided when a candidate receives an offer of employment. 

At IonQ, we believe in fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers. We empower employees to thrive by fostering a culture of autonomy, productivity, and respect. We are dedicated to creating an environment where individuals can feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued.
