Job ID: 1601
The Role:
We are looking for a Senior Microwave Research Scientist. As a Senior Microwave Research Scientist, you’ll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world’s best quantum computers to solve the world’s most complex problems.
In this role, you will architect and refine cutting-edge microwave circuits for the electronic control of high-fidelity spin qubits. You’ll spearhead the integration of these circuits with advanced optical and electronic devices to push the boundaries of system-level performance. Your leadership will drive the end-to-end cycle from foundry fabrication to rigorous internal validation, ensuring world-class performance for our quantum hardware.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with architecture teams to translate system-level specifications into component-level design rules and performance metrics
- Design microwave circuits for electronic control of qubits, accounting for fabrication constraints, cryogenic compatibility, and system-level interactions
- Manage the end-to-end design layout and mask handoff process, partnering with foundries to fabricate devices at scale
- Lead internal validation efforts with test and measurement teams to ensure fabricated components meet target performance specifications
Requirements:
- 10 + years of experience designing microwave devices
- MS in electrical engineering, physics, or a related field
- Experience leading cross-disciplinary teams within large projects
Preferred Qualifications:
- PhD in electrical engineering, physics or related field with 5+ years of experience
- Experience hiring and training new teams for research and development work
- Knowledge of cryogenic testing and operation
- Familiarity with architectures for distributed quantum computing, sensing, and networking
The approximate base salary range for this position is $126,887 - $166,127. The total compensation package includes base, bonus, and equity.
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 proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
US Technical Jobs. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions. Employment with IonQ is contingent on either verifying “U.S. Person” (e.g., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum) status for export controls and government contracts work, obtaining any necessary license, and/or confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls. Please note that in the absence of confirming you are a U.S. Person for export control and government contracts work purposes, IonQ may choose not to apply for a license or decline to use a license exception (if available) for you to access export-controlled technology that may require authorization, and similarly, you may not qualify for government contracts work that requires U.S. Persons, and IonQ may decline to proceed with your application on those bases alone. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
US Non-Technical Jobs. Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
