As Senior Quantum Engineer, Readout, you will optimize superconducting qubit readout and reset on Rigetti’s quantum processors and fault-tolerant prototypes. You will lead a range of experimental efforts to characterize and improve measurement protocols, signal chains, amplifiers, and device layouts. In collaboration with an interdisciplinary group of engineers in theory, hardware, and chip design, you will advance the speed and fidelity of readout and reset in Rigetti Computing’s quantum computing systems to fulfill its ambitious roadmap toward fault tolerance.
As engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. 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.
