What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on designing and implementing low-latency FPGA-based control and signal processing for a neutral-atom quantum computer. Day-to-day work spans RTL design, PS firmware, and hardware-in-the-loop validation, with a focus on sub-nanosecond RF pulse synchronization and microsecond-timescale adaptive execution. It suits engineers with a background in digital logic design or verification for FPGAs or ASICs, particularly those familiar with high-throughput, multi-clock-domain designs.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The role is highly specialized in FPGA/RTL engineering for quantum computing control systems. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the closest available code given the emphasis on designing, implementing, and verifying RTL and firmware; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable runner-up given the hardware-adjacent nature of the work.
The posting is based in Princeton, NJ, which falls within the New York-Newark-Jersey City CBSA (35620); no remote option is mentioned.
Digital logic design or verification for FPGAs or ASICs is stated as 'essential' — treated as a hard gate. RTL design and hardware-in-the-loop validation are explicitly called out as core responsibilities within the same required framing.
High-throughput multi-clock domain design and Xilinx/AMD RFSoC familiarity are explicitly flagged as 'preferred' in the posting.
No minimum years of experience or degree requirement is stated. Seniority is assessed as Mid given the 'co-owner growing into full subsystem ownership' framing, which implies an earlier-career trajectory rather than an already-senior engineer.
No quantum physics knowledge is required per the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): RTL design, hardware-in-the-loop validation, multi-clock domain design.
