Quantum Measurement and Calibration Engineer – Automated Calibration

• Automated Calibration Software: Implement, improve, test, and maintain automated Python software to rapidly characterise and calibrate large-scale QPUs, including resonator spectroscopy, crosstalk matrices, single- and gates, 2-qubit gate calibration, and readout optimization.

• Code Architecture & Quality: Write, review and maintain modular Python code adhering to modern software practices (automated testing with PyTest, CI/CD, documentation, and version control).

• Ownership: Take complete ownership of software functionality – from the initial concept through coding, validation, review and integration.

• Collaborate: Collaborate closely with the internal users of the code base (including in Processor Development and Production) to gather needs, feedback and continuously improve features and calibration workflows.

Education & Background: PhD (or Master’s degree with 2+ years of equivalent industry experience) in Physics, Quantum Information, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.

• Qubit Measurement: 2+ years of hands-on experience in cryogenic measurement of multi-qubit superconducting quantum processors, including 2-qubit gate calibration.

• Python Programming: Strong proficiency in Python, with a proven track record of writing clean, modular, and maintainable code for data acquisition, automation, or scientific pipelines.

• Software Engineering: Working knowledge of software engineering best practices, including object-oriented design, version control (Git), code reviewing, and testing frameworks.

• Automation Mindset: Strong drive for eliminating manual measurement overhead, building robust automation scripts, and improving software quality for hardware bring-up.

• Collaboration & Communication: Thrives in a multidisciplinary scale-up environment, bridging experimental quantum physics cleanly with production software engineering.

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.
