Quantum R&D Engineer – Processor Development

• Design & Simulate: Conceive, model, and layout next-generation, large-scale superconducting quantum processor architectures. Design custom test vehicles and prototypes to compare and validate new component implementations (like inter-qubit couplers and readout architectures), before integrating them into full-scale processors.

• Measure & Validate: Close the feedback loop by designing and performing cryogenic measurements on your own designs to validate performance and inform design improvements.

• Ownership: Take complete ownership of device or component development – from the initial concept through design, simulation, experiment, data analysis, and iteration.

• Automate: Write and improve code to automate design, simulation, and measurement workflows.

• Collaborate: Collaborate closely with design and measurement engineers, teams to ensure rapid design-to-test cycles

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in multi-qubit superconducting quantum device development

• Deep understanding of cQED, quantum microwave circuits and superconducting qubits.

• Extensive experience in design and cryogenic measurement of superconducting qubit circuits

• Proficiency in Python and software tools for quantum design and experiments (e.g. HFSS, Comsol, pyEPR, scqubits, Quantum Metal, KLayout, etc.)

• A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with a strong drive to scale quantum technology

• You thrive in a collaborative environment and are comfortable taking ownership from day one.

Don't tick every box? Apply anyway! Research shows women often self-select out if they don't meet every requirement. Here's our take: nobody ticks every box. This is a description of our ideal candidate, not a filter. If most resonates and you're keen to learn the gaps, apply. We hire for trajectory, not perfection.
