Hybrid Electronics Engineer – Quantum Communication, Space Systems
Posted 2 months ago
About the role
- Electronics Engineer developing hardware for quantum communication systems at Quantum Technology Laboratories. Involves PCB design, signal processing, and collaboration with interdisciplinary teams.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end hardware development: from system architecture down to board-level implementation and lab validation.
- Design and implement high-throughput data acquisition and signal-processing electronics, including analog front-ends, timing, and high-speed digital interfaces.
- Develop and optimize PCB layouts for performance, manufacturability, EMC, and reliability; drive DFM/DFT improvements with suppliers.
- Build rapid prototypes and test fixtures to validate requirements and de-risk concepts; plan and execute bring-up, characterization and verification.
- Select and qualify space-grade components; plan and lead part qualification campaigns with vendors and labs.
- Collaborate closely with optical, FPGA, and software engineers to define clear system requirements and interfaces.
- Perform detailed analyses (parts-stress, worst-case, FMEA/FMECA) under radiation, thermal, vibration, and EMC constraints.
- Design noise-free analog power supplies and FPGA environments for high-speed, low-noise operation.
- Participate in technical reviews and customer meetings; present trade studies, test results, and risk mitigations.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience in PCB design/layout, including stack-up definition, impedance control, length matching, and EMI/EMC design.
- Strong lab skills: oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and root-cause analysis.
- Solid understanding of high-speed DAQ architectures, synchronization, clocking, and data movers to FPGAs or SoCs.
- Familiarity with space electronics reliability (radiation effects, derating, thermal design) and ECSS/MIL standards.
- Experience with power integrity and analog design for mixed-signal systems.
- Clear and confident technical communication in English (specifications, test plans, design reviews).
- A collaborative mindset and ownership attitude; comfortable iterating quickly in an interdisciplinary environment.
Benefits
- A mission-driven environment developing quantum-secure communication for the space era.
- Close collaboration with leading researchers and engineers in quantum optics, FPGA, and embedded systems.
- Hands-on involvement in all phases - from prototype to flight model.
- Flat hierarchies, ownership, and the opportunity to drive innovation in an emerging deep-tech sector.
- A collaborative and innovative environment in Vienna, a global hub for quantum research and space technology.
- Flexible work arrangements in a hybrid model combining remote and onsite collaboration.
- The opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future of quantum technologies.
- Balanced work-life integration for our employees.
- Attractive workplace with excellent infrastructure at Wienerberg.
- Great Italian espresso.
- Humorous and friendly work atmosphere.
