About the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT)
The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore brings together physicists, computer scientists and engineers to do basic research on quantum physics and to build devices based on quantum phenomena. Experts in this new discipline of quantum technologies are applying their discoveries in computing, communications, and sensing.
CQT is hosted by the National University of Singapore. The Centre also has staff at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design. With some 200 staff and students, it offers a friendly and international work environment

Job Description
The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), National University of Singapore is looking for researchers and engineers to develop next generation quantum computers based on trapped ions. There are multiple positions available at different levels with a diverse set of expertise. This program is funded under the National Quantum Processor Initiative, a flagship program under the National Quantum Office Singapore. The aim of the program is to develop a full stack quantum processor system based on Yb-Ba ions emphasizing on the performance rather than on the qubit numbers. This program brings together the unique capabilities of the existing ion trap groups in CQT expertizing on these two-ion species to explore scalability of the system.
The Centre for Quantum Technologies is a pioneering quantum centre in the world offering a diverse research culture at the intersection of the cross-section of three different fields namely, theoretical, experimental Physics and computer science. We offer competitive salary and enriching intellectual experience in a city state known for its forward outlook. This program also allows strong collaboration within and outside the country with leading academic and industrial groups within and outside the country. We are looking for talented electrical/electronic engineers to join the team of scientists and engineers working on the next generation of the quantum processor.
The team members will work to build electronics to control the ion trap quantum processor. That includes digital design, RF and microwave sources and low noise analog / digital front end. The ideal candidate should have practical experience in at least one of the following fields and desire to cross the boundaries and learn relevant skills. The successful candidate will be involved in all stages of the development cycle: collaborate with other team members to define the technical requirements, design, manufacturing, testing and integration of the prototype into the control system.
Job Requirements
We are looking for several electrical engineers to join the small team of scientists and engineers working on the next generation of the ion trap quantum processor. The candidate should have:
- Bachelor or Master degree in electronics, electrical engineering or related fields;
- At least 1-2 years of experience in electronics design is preferred;
- Experience in programmable digital logic design using Verilog or VHDL, digital signal processing, and familiarity with control theory;
- Design and characterisation of low noise electronics for the analog front end, good understanding of the noise sources in electronic circuits;
- Design and implementation of the RF electronics circuits.
