Job description

HRL Laboratories pioneers the next frontiers of physical and information science. Delivering transformative technologies in automotive, aerospace and defense, HRL advances the critical missions of its customers to help them remove limitations and create competitive advantage. HRL then transitions the work back to customers – ready for real-world application. For more than 70 years, HRL’s rich portfolio of scientific discoveries and engineering innovations continues to build on each other — often in unexpected, profound and far-reaching ways. As a private company owned jointly by Boeing and GM, HRL prioritizes purpose over profit, significantly advancing the state of the art.

HRL Laboratories develops radiofrequency, millimeter-wave and electro-optical sensors using state-of-the-art materials and device fabrication processes to deliver agile, mission-ready systems. Our high-performance solutions are highly integrated, architecturally low cost, and optimized for size, weight and power efficiency while leveraging commercial, custom and novel mixed-signal innovations.

The Mixed Signal Solutions department at HRL Laboratories is composed of a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers supporting quantum computing research. The team develops and integrates leading edge mixed signal systems involving novel architectures, advanced algorithms, custom integrated circuits (ICs), printed circuit boards (PCBs), and state of the art packaging and integration techniques. As a member of this group, you will contribute to designing electronic solutions that transition innovative concepts into prototype hardware.
