Quobly aims to have a strong impact on society by providing cost-competitive universal quantum processors to solve currently intractable problems.
Founded in 2022, Quobly is a fast-growing start-up located in Grenoble’s vibrant and multidisciplinary ecosystem. The company relies on the CNRS Neel Institute and CEA-Leti and benefits from the dynamic of strong links between research and industry.
To support our ambition, we are looking for Lead Tech – Analog and Mixed-Signal (AMS) IC Design.
What awaits you every day at Quobly within the team:
Mission
As a tech Lead,
- You are the guardian of the technical architecture and performance of integrated circuits (ICs).
- You drive technological choices and oversee the entire implementation process, from initial specifications to GDSII (tape-out).
- You ensure design robustness against Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) variations in a specific cryotemperature environment.
- You are also responsible for managing the team, subcontractors, and service providers.
- You define the architecture for critical blocks (ADC/DAC, PLL, PMU, filters, amplifiers, Mux, control …) and translate system requirements into circuit-level specifications.
- You supervise transistor-level design, corner simulations, noise analysis, and mismatch analysis. A specific point of our designs is the very low operating temperature (100mK to 4 K).
- You lead layout engineers on matching issues, parasitic coupling, and signal integrity.
- You define verification plans for operation at the interface between the analog and digital domains.
- You collaborate with test teams to characterize chips in the lab and analyze measurements and tests.
- You evaluate new architecture and operating temperature partitioning and protect innovations through patent filing.
- You manage and develop the skills of a junior team.
- You assess the efficiency of each stage, from design to manufacturing, and make any necessary improvements.
- You act as the interface between Quobly and its partners.
Collaboration
- Collaborate with talented people in software, hardware design, quantum physics, measurement, silicon characterization, quantum theory, in a culture of transparency and autonomy.
- Work hand in hand with members of our technical teams.
You are special because you have:
- You have a master’s degree in Microelectronics or PhD in a related field.
- You have significant experience and several proven accomplishments in this sector.
- You have a managerial experience to succed in this position.
- You master technical English.
Working at Quobly is also:
- A unique workplace, Grenoble, combining industrial dynamism, technological innovation and a unique natural and cultural living environment.
- The opportunity to continue to train, to develop skills by working with the best researchers in the field
- A collaborative work environment, a culture that has trust as its pillar and where your work will be recognized, and much more!
- Contribute to the influence of Quobly through the sharing of our progress in international conferences
- The possibility of having a pro-life balance with a standard day package of 213 days worked/year
- The possibility of teleworking up to 4 days a week depending on the position
- Offices near Grenoble train station
- Assistance with soft travel or public transport
For us, quality work is based on professionalism, trust, surpassing oneself and collaboration in an environment where fun and celebration is as essential as it is natural. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from all qualified individuals.
