Key responsibilities include:

• Providing technical focus and leadership on a particular R&D topic, such as gate calibration, qubit relaxation and/or dephasing, piloting new research ideas in small processors, integration of new ideas into large processors, or implementation of quantum error correction.

• Collaborating across diverse teams of expert engineers to turn experimental concepts into robust technologies that work at large QPU scales.

• Staying current with cutting-edge research, synthesizing results from the literature, and implementing state-of-the-art calibration, error diagnostic, and system optimization techniques to enhance device performance.

Required qualifications include:

• PhD in Physics or similar applied scientific field, or Masters' in Physics with 2+ years relevant industry experience.

• Demonstrated abilities in experimental problem solving and experimental research.

• Expertise in the practical implementation of coherent quantum effects and control.

• Proficiency using Python in a scientific context.

• Ability to thrive in a strongly collaborative environment, with a team-first mindset.

Nice to have qualifications include:

• Experience calibrating and characterizing single- and two-qubit quantum gates in superconducting quantum devices.

• Experience utilizing quantum simulation frameworks, such as QuTip.

• Proven capability to execute and effectively communicate outcomes from innovative research and development initiatives.

• Software development experience in a collaborative industry setting.

• Previous technical role in an industrial or startup setting.

Additional information:

• As engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers.

• Applications from women, minorities, and other under-represented groups are encouraged.
