Quantum Computing Jobs

• Berkeley, United States
• Hybrid
• US$175,000 – US$200,000 pa
• Senior

Lead experimental programs to characterize, calibrate and optimize two-qubit gates on tunable-coupler superconducting processors, isolating error sources such as leakage, crosstalk and decoherence. Develop pulse shaping, dynamical decoupling and automated calibration methods that scale across hundreds of qubit pairs, feeding findings back into device design and fabrication.

• Hybrid
• Senior

Deploys and operates Rigetti quantum systems at customer sites, owning technical work from initial bring-up through sustained cloud operation. Specialises in either systems integration (cryogenic hardware, qubit and fridge characterisation) or gate calibration (1Q/2Q gate performance, automated recalibration, production monitoring). Requires up to 25% international travel and close collaboration with internal R&D teams.

Design, model and test high-fidelity quantum operations, developing control methods and accurate physics models based on real hardware specifications. Work closely with hardware teams to implement new methods on quantum devices, build benchmarking procedures and compare experimental results against theoretical predictions.

• Oxford
• Hybrid
• Senior

Hands-on staff engineering role owning the non-realtime control software for quantum computers, integrating supporting hardware such as cryogenic compressors, vacuum pumps, lasers and cameras on general-purpose Linux. You will write Rust controllers and shared frameworks, build simulators and test infrastructure, and diagnose failures that only appear against real hardware in a live lab.
