Introduction IBM Research takes responsibility for technology and its role in society. Working in IBM
Research means you'll join a team who invent what's next in computing, always choosing the big, urgent and mind-bending work that endures and shapes generations. Our passion for discovery, and excitement for defining the future of tech, is what builds our strong culture around solving problems for clients and seeing the real world impact that you can make.
IBM's product and technology landscape includes Research, Software, and Infrastructure.
Entering this domain positions you at the heart of IBM, where growth and innovation thrive.
As a Hardware Developer at IBM, you'll get to work on the systems that are driving the quantum revolution and the AI era. Join an elite team of experimentalists in quantum computing building a path towards scalable fault tolerant quantum computation.
Your role and responsibilities This role is for a digital circuit designer who will contribute to the development of advanced-high performance mixed-signal ASICs in advanced nodes for exploratory applications. We focus on circuit designs targeting the development of differentiated solutions for a range of communication and computation challenges, including the creation of CMOs-based electronics for quantum computing applications. Successful applicants will have demonstrated experience in CMOS digital integrated circuit design, including logic design, logic synthesis, and verification. In this role, you may be tasked with developing RTL, performing logic synthesis, developing testbenches, and/or integration of designs incorporating digital and analog macros. You will be involved in all aspects of design projects from concept to system integration to bringup and test; demonstrated hands-on lab skills are therefore important. In addition, background in communication theory, digital signal processing, and/or custom accelerator design would be advantageous.
Required technical and professional expertise '- Degree: Master's degree or equivalent experience
- Digital Circuit Design: A strong foundation in digital design, including using EDA tools for digital logic synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, and static timing analysis. (2 years)
- CMOS implementation: Demonstrated expertise through successful implementation digital and/or mixed-signal designs in deep submicron CMOS technology (2 years)
- EDA: A thorough knowledge of at least one commercial EDA digital IC design framework (2 years).
Preferred technical and professional experience '- Degree: Doctorate
- Custom and/or standard cell-based digital circuit design: Proficiency in custom and/or standard cell-based digital circuit design and implementation in deep submicron technology (2 years).
- Design Integration: Chip integration experience leveraging mixed-signal analog-on-top (AoT) or digital-on-top (DoT) flows.
- Digital signal processing and/or accelerator design: Experience in the design, implementation, and demonstration of digital signal processing algorithms and/or custom accelerators in integrated CMOS technologies
- Programming Skills: Candidates with strong programming skills in commonly used languages (2 years).
- Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills are highly valued for effective collaboration within the team.
