Job Description
Rigetti Computing is building the worlds most powerful computers to solve humanitys most pressing problems. We believe this technology will fundamentally change the world for the better and will affect nearly every industry over the coming decades. Now a public company Rigetti is looking to expand its R&D capabilities to continue to bring this pivotal technology to life.
As a Materials & Process Engineer on the Hardware team at Rigetti you will develop cuttingedge solutions to enable scaling of quantum computers with improved performance and higher qubit counts. Your work will enable the development of cuttingedge PCB flexible cables and custom interconnects and assembly solutions that enable DC and RF signaling to our quantum devices at cryogenic temperatures. You will be working closely with a team of electrical engineers mechanical engineers and physicists as well as outside component suppliers and manufacturing partners to define component assembly & manufacturing processes that meet these scaling & performance challenges. You will guide supplier process development and integrate components into the R&D and production release workflows in support of new cuttingedge quantum computer systems.
The ideal candidate brings experience working with suppliers on the materials and processes used in PCBs flexible electronics connectors and related assemblies preferably using innovative materials. You enjoy working in a multidisciplinary environment and you excel at translating functional requirements into prototypes and then guiding those products through development into lowvolume manufacturing. You are able to identify requirements and constraints and manage effective test programs that navigate these inputs. You are a strong communicator who keeps stakeholders informed and involved.
What Youll Be Doing
- Materials selection and manufacturing process development of PCB flexible cables and Interconnect components for use in cryogenic environments
- Collaborate with outside suppliers and manufacturing partners to develop and validate custom hardware solutions ensuring that project deliverables and timelines are clearly defined communicated and updated
- Develop and document validation test plans incorporating pass/fail criteria that align with hardware performance targets
- Collaborate with internal and external partners to define and document process flows integration challenges and ongoing quality improvements
- Perform failure analysis and feed root cause data back into the development cycle for iterative design and process improvement
- Support Supply Chain team through supplier visits
Your Qualifications
- 7 years of relevant industry or military experience
- BS or higher degree in Materials Science Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical experience preferred
- Understanding of PCB Flex design and fabrication including IPC standard A600 610 and 6013 integration challenges materials choice and assembly processes
- RF/microwave engineering fundamentals including Sparameter characterization
- Solid experience in a hardware R&D environment from concept to prototype to production
- Strong track record of defining and documenting test plans and integrating test results into the iterative hardware development process including supplier manufacturing process development
- Handson experience with identifying and solving defects & process control issues in PCB flex and related DC and RF components both inhouse and at partners/suppliers
- Superb technical communication and collaboration skills in a multidomain environment including mechanical engineers and physicists as well as suppliers for corrective actions and yield improvements
- Experience with lowtemperature measurement and superconducting materials is a strong plus
- You are a curious person with a strong appetite for learning. You are a team player and you bring a solutionsoriented approach to problem solving.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with a PCB layout tool such as Altium Designer
- Familiarity with cryogenic environment and thermal engineering
