Join the team
building the
quantum control plane.

Tynana was incorporated in 2026 by two engineers. We are pre-launch, pre-Series A, and intentionally small. Most of the roles below are scoped but not yet posted — we are looking for founding engineers who want to ship a real chip, not just a slide.

Why Tynana

Small team, hard problem, real silicon.

You will work directly with the founders. There is no layer of program management between you and the next tapeout. You will see your work go to AIM Photonics or GlobalFoundries within months, not years.

We are not building a quantum computer. We are building the photonic and cryo-CMOS layer that makes other people's quantum computers usable. That focus matters: we know exactly what we are shipping, and what we are not.

If you want to do deep work on cryo electronics, integrated photonics, or the firmware that ties them together — and you are willing to be employee number one or two — this is the right place.

01
Tapeout cadence over slide cadence
We have already done two tapeouts in six weeks. The bias is toward shipping silicon and learning, not perfecting the deck.
02
No quantum hand-waving
Our claims live or die in the lab — link budgets, S-parameters, jitter spectra. We do not sell the qubit story. We sell the wires.
03
Real ownership
Founding engineers get meaningful equity, real architectural authority, and direct relationships with foundry partners and design houses.
04
Honest pre-launch posture
We do not pretend to have customers we do not have, revenue we have not earned, or capabilities we have not built. You can hold us to that.
Open and scoping

Roles we are scoping for the next 6–12 months.

None of these are formally posted yet because we are still finalizing seed funding. If you see something close to your background, send a note — we would rather have the conversation early than miss the right person waiting for a job-board listing.

Founding Cryo-CMOS Designer
Own analog/mixed-signal blocks on GF45SPCLO at sub-4K — DACs, LNAs, bias circuits, supply distribution.

Process

A short, honest interview loop.

01

Intro call (30 min)

Direct conversation with a founder. Why Tynana, why now, what you are working on, what you want to build next.

02

Technical deep dive (90 min)

One past project, one open problem from our roadmap. No whiteboard puzzles. We work through real constraints together.

03

Reference loop

Three references — at least one a peer you have shipped silicon, firmware, or a paper with. We will give you ours too.

04

Offer + onsite

Half-day onsite when geography allows; remote-friendly otherwise. Offer within 72 hours of the loop closing.

Want to talk before any of this is on a job board?

Send a short note about what you are working on now and what you want to work on next. Two founders read every email.

Honest pre-launch note

Tynana LLC has two employees today: the two founders. Salary bands, equity grants, and benefits will be defined when we close our first institutional round. We will not waste your time with a process before we can credibly make an offer — but we want to know who is interested now.
