About Anyon Systems  

Anyon Systems is a Canadian quantum computing company based in Montréal, QC, focused on building next-generation quantum processors and full-stack quantum computing systems.   

We operate at the frontier of physics and engineering, where hardware, software, cryogenics, control systems, and advanced computing infrastructure converge to enable real-world quantum applications.  

As we continue to expand our quantum computing capabilities, we are growing our engineering team to support the design and deployment of highly integrated quantum computing platforms. 

Responsibilities

• Design superconducting quantum devices and circuits, including resonators, qubits, and couplers, using electromagnetic (EM) simulation tools and circuit modeling.
• Develop and maintain simulation workflows for device layout, parameter sweeps, and performance optimization.
• Translate system-level requirements into device specifications and design rules; maintain and update design-rule databases.
• Compare simulated device performance to experimental results; refine models and iterate on designs accordingly.
• Collaborate with theory and nanofabrication teams to ensure design feasibility and alignment with hardware development goals.
• Prepare detailed technical documentation, simulation reports, and contribute to roadmap planning.

Qualifications

• PhD (or MSc with equivalent experience) in Physics, Applied Physics, ECE, or related field, with demonstrated expertise in quantum device design and simulation.
• Experience with EM simulation tools and circuit modeling for superconducting devices.
• Familiarity with GDS layout tools and design automation workflows.
• Proficiency in Python or similar languages for simulation scripting and data analysis; familiarity with scientific computing and version control (Git).
• Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-team collaboration skills; solutions-oriented mindset in a fast-moving R&D environment.
  

Key skills

• Leadership in technical problem-solving and project execution.
• Strategic thinking with a systems-level understanding of quantum computing.
• Excellent communication and mentorship skills; ability to work across teams.
