About the role

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.
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.

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.

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

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.
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.
