Quantum Engineer

As a Quantum Engineer at Rigetti Computing, you will be a key contributor to the development of our gate-based, superconducting quantum computers. Your work will turn experimental ideas into ever-improving hardware functionality through rigorous characterization of qubits and gates, implementation of new measurement techniques, and interpretation of processor data.

Requirements

• Characterizing experimental devices, assessing their performance, identifying areas for improvement, and providing feedback to internal development teams.
• Providing technical focus and leadership on a particular R&D topic, which could include 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 (fab, design, electronics, software, etc.) 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.

Benefits

• Competitive salaries
• Equity
• Medical, dental and vision
• 401(k) plan
• Paid parental leave program
• Rejuvenation days
• Vacation policy that aligns with local regulations and industry standards
