Our quantum computing technology has the potential to transform nearly every industry over the coming decades. As a public company with deep roots in research and engineering, we are expanding our Engineering Operations team to support rapid advances in quantum hardware.
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Cryogenics and RF Field Engineer to support Rigetti systems deployed at a customer facility in Bangalore, India. This is a hands-on, operations-focused role embedded on-site, working closely with both Rigetti teams and customer stakeholders in a highly collaborative, research-driven environment.
In this role, you will work closely with physicists, engineers, and technicians to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot advanced RF and cryogenic systems that enable next-generation quantum processors. You will be responsible for ensuring reliable system performance in a production-like environment, including direct ownership of cryogenic infrastructure, RF hardware validation, and rapid debugging of complex, cross-disciplinary issues spanning RF, vacuum, cryogenics, and electronics.
The ideal candidate brings deep laboratory experience with R&D hardware, has worked in customer-facing or field-deployed environments, and has direct hands-on experience operating and debugging dilution refrigerators.
What You Bring (Required Qualifications)
Technical background in Physics, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industrial (MS or PhD a plus)
Strong proficiency with general-purpose electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, network analyzers, multimeters, DC power supplies, etc.)
Direct, hands-on experience operating and troubleshooting dilution refrigerators (required)
Substantial hands-on experience working with sub-Kelvin cryogenic systems
Experience operating and maintaining high-availability laboratory or industrial equipment
Experience assembling, servicing, and maintaining scientific instruments or complex electro-mechanical systems
Familiarity with vacuum systems, vacuum plumbing, P&IDs, and standard fittings and practices. Strong experience in vacuum equipment assembly and debug using helium leak detection.
Working knowledge of statistical methods for test and validation (e.g., DOE, Six Sigma, simulation)
Attention to detail in documentation (writing and following Work Instructions and Standard Operating Procedures) plus excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Experience working with external vendors, partners, or customers
Nice to Have
Experience in field deployment or on-site support roles at customer or partner facilities
Programming or scripting experience in Python or related languages
