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. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams spanning device design cryogenic/microwave hardware control systems fabrication and software to push the boundaries of quantum computing to the scale and performance required for practical quantum computing and error correction.
This is a general job posting for experimental physicists that leads to consideration for a targeted role with a specific focus. Topics 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.
Your training and achievements as an experimental physicist in quantum information mean that you more than anyone else already know how hard this will be. And thats why youve sought us out.
Key Responsibilities
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.
Required Qualifications
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.
Excellent communication skills.
Nice to Have
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.
$155000 - $200000 a year
Base Salary
Rigetti complies with all local and state regulations in regards to displaying salary ranges. Final compensation for this role will be determined by various factors such as a candidates relevant work experience skills and geographic location. Rigetti offers a full slate of benefits from competitive salaries equity medical dental and vision for employees as well as a 401(k) plan a paid parental leave program rejuvenation days and avacation policy that aligns with local regulations and industry standards.
As engineering leaders we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. Our technology meant to serve all of humanity cannot succeed if those who built it do not mirror the diversity of the communities we serve. Applications from women minorities and other under-represented groups are encouraged.
