Original job description

About IonQ:

IonQ, Inc. [NYSE: IONQ] is the world’s leading quantum platform and merchant supplier - delivering integrated quantum solutions across computing, networking, sensing, and security. IonQ’s newest generation of quantum computers, the IonQ Tempo, is the latest in a line of cutting-edge systems that have been helping customers and partners including Amazon Web Services, and AstraZeneca achieve 20x performance results and accelerate innovation in drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, cybersecurity, and defense. In 2025, the company achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, setting a world record in quantum computing performance. Headquartered in College Park, Maryland, IonQ has operations in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Washington, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Our quantum computing services are available through all major cloud providers, while we also meet the needs of networking and sensing customers across land, sea, air, and space. IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before.

About Vector Atomic:

Vector Atomic, an IonQ company, is building quantum technology to transform navigation, timing, geophysical exploration, and telecommunications. Our team of engineers, scientists, software developers, and operations professionals works together to solve complex challenges and turn bold ideas into real-world solutions. We value collaboration, curiosity, and diverse perspectives, and we give every team member the opportunity to make an immediate impact while growing their skills. If you're excited to work on breakthrough technology in a fast-paced, hands-on environment, we'd love to hear from you. Vector Atomic is hiring electrical engineers to build ultraprecise quantum devices for applications that include autonomous/GPS-free navigation, high-bandwidth satellite communications, and geophysical exploration. This hands-on role requires strong electronic design skills with emphasis on analog and mixed-signal circuits. We are seeking strong individual contributors who can take ownership of their work while supporting overall team goals. Vector Atomic produces a large volume of custom PCBAs for both manufacturing and R&D projects.

Location: This role is based onsite at our office in Pleasanton, CA (Bay Area)

What You’ll Do

Work with a cross-functional team of physicists, electronics engineers, firmware programmers and optical engineers to create next-generation quantum instruments.
Design, implement and verify analog and mixed signal circuits for precision INS instruments. This work requires an understanding of electronic noise sources, measurement techniques and mitigation strategies. New hires will need to have a solid understanding of these principles and the ability to learn quickly and solve design challenges.
Develop schematics in Altium. Apply layout techniques to improve signal integrity.
Select parts and work with purchasing to procure, fabricate and assemble PCBAs.
Assist with board “bring-up” and debugging. Use laboratory test equipment such as scopes, signal generators and spectrum analyzers to test and validate your designs.
Document results and create test procedures to collaborate with software engineers and provide support and technical guidance as they program and interact with your circuits.
Contribute to our goals of continuous improvement by documenting issues, rework and feature requests using project tracking tools.

What We're Looking For

BSEE/MSEE Degree with substantial course/lab/intern work in analog circuit design. Other technical degrees will be considered, with 2+ years of directly relevant experience.
To comply with the US export control laws, Vector Atomic employees must be U.S. citizens (born or naturalized), lawful U.S. permanent residents (i.e. green card holders), and certain categories of refugees, and asylees.
Must be comfortable working in a laboratory environment.
Ability to communicate effectively with coworkers and collaborators, both written and verbal.

Required expertise:

Experience using Altium design tools to create schematics, BOMS and layouts for complex PCBAs. Must be able and willing to perform placement and routing in Altium to meet complex performance requirements.
Expertise with analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
Training/expertise with POL power supply circuit design.
Simulation of circuits using Spice.
Laboratory test and measurement equipment including oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators and DVMs.

Nice-to-have expertise:

Design training/expertise with EDA tools for signal integrity
Experience designing boards with Microcontrollers and FPGAs
Previous expertise with low-power design techniques and power supply design is a plus.
Experience writing test code for scripting languages such as Python or TCL to control laboratory equipment.

Vector Atomic values teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance. We offer competitive compensation and benefits including:

Platinum-level family health coverage (medical, dental, vision)
Health and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
Employer 401(k) contributions
20 days of paid time off / 11 paid holidays
Paid parental leave
Fully stocked kitchen

Pay Range The approximate base salary range for this position is $80,000 to $120,000 per year. The total compensation package includes base, bonus, equity and benefits. It's atypical to be hired at the top end of this range for the role, as actual pay is based on several factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience level. Vector Atomic is an equal opportunity employer and we welcome applications from all backgrounds regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, disability, or any other classification protected by law. Vector Atomic does not accept unsolicited resumes from individual recruiters or third-party recruiting agencies in response to job postings. No fee will be paid to third parties who submit unsolicited candidates directly to our hiring managers or HR team.
