About the job

Google Quantum AI is building quantum computing for otherwise unsolvable problems. The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

In the device packaging group, we build custom packaging technologies for quantum processors, amplifiers, and other devices that operate from DC to microwave frequencies in a cryogenic environment. Our work includes research on quantum processor performance and qubit environment, design of novel packages and test articles, investigation of new technologies, and optimizing of current technologies for deployment. Every Google Quantum AI processor comes through our lab for packaging before its deployment to the fleet.

As a Packaging Mechanical Engineer, you will work with other hardware engineers to design, build, and test electronics packaging for our quantum processors and other adjacent cryogenic hardware. You will be a critical part of ensuring that our next generation of packaging matures quickly and efficiently by performing detailed design work, defining and verifying mechanical requirements, and ensuring industry standard design and manufacturing principles are being followed. This role is essential for Google Quantum AI to build scalable and reliable electronics for the next level of computing.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $150000 - $217000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
