Senior Electronic Engineer

Job Description

Job Title: Senior Electronic Engineer. Location: Geneva, Switzerland

Responsibilities:

• Own the design and verification of analog, mixed-signal, and RF/high-speed electronic subsystems from architecture through schematic, PCB design, bring-up, and industrialisation.
• Develop complex electronic hardware including low-noise amplifiers, high-speed and RF signal conditioning, opto-electronic component drivers, A/D conversion, and optimized power-supply blocks;
• Design high-performance, low-noise mixed-signal PCBs using robust partitioning, grounding, shielding, and layout techniques.
• Preserve signal integrity and minimize unwanted coupling across electronic systems.
• Define and review block specifications with system, optical, and firmware engineers.
• Lead technical trade-offs involving noise, bandwidth, timing, and electromagnetic compatibility.
• Plan and execute laboratory bring-up and verification using structured testing and data-driven analysis.
• Verify compliance with requirements and reliability targets;
• Coordinate and technically guide subcontractors and suppliers.
• Improve the team's design processes, documentation, and review practices.
• Act as the analog and RF technical reference within R&D.
• Lead cross-team specifications, design reviews, and supplier execution to deliver production-ready hardware.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronic Engineering, Opto-electronic Engineering, or equivalent.
• At least 7 years of relevant experience designing complex, high-performance hardware modules.
• Strong expertise in analog and mixed-signal design, including low-noise, precision, and high-speed electronics.
• Strong RF fundamentals, including impedance matching, transmission lines, and filtering;
• Experience applying signal-integrity and power-integrity best practices to high-performance, low-noise PCBs.
• Experience creating and reviewing schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer.
• Experience with simulation and modeling tools such as LTspice.
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and signal generators.
• Experience validating hardware performance in a laboratory environment;
• Strong communication skills and the ability to present technical results and recommendations.
• Fluency in English is required.
• French is an advantage.

Preferred:

• Senior-level analog and RF/high-speed hardware expertise.
• Proven experience taking industrial-grade electronics from prototype through product release.
• Experience with sensitive opto-electronic systems where noise, timing, jitter, and bandwidth are critical.
• Ability to balance technical performance with manufacturability and testability;
• Experience taking ownership of technical decisions and mentoring other engineers.
• Ability to establish rigorous design and review processes for rapid product integration.

Benefits and Compensation:

• Compensation varies based on education, qualifications, experience, office location, market data, and internal team equity.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Matching 401(k).
• Unlimited paid time off.
• Paid holidays.
• Parental and adoption leave.
• Legal insurance.
• Home technology stipend.

Other Information:

• The position may involve access to technology subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions.
• Employment may require verification of U.S. Person status, obtaining an applicable license, or confirming a license exception where required.
• IonQ may ask additional immigration-status questions for export-control compliance;
• Employment is contingent on applicable background and risk screening.
