Rigetti Computing
Overview
As a Quantum Engineer in the quantum integrated circuit design team, you will play a critical role in our design, fabrication and test flywheel. Through comprehensive analyses of large datasets from existing quantum processors and test devices, you will extract empirical calibrations to improve processor design and the performance of future generations. You will develop software infrastructure to streamline and automate analyses, accelerating learning cycles. You will collaborate with researchers and engineers across Rigetti to monitor and improve fabrication yield and to enhance models and infrastructure used to predict processor performance from foundry monitor data. Key Responsibilities
Improve the correlation between room temperature metrology data and processor performance at cryogenic temperatures through experimental investigations and theoretical/numerical modeling of Josephson junctions. Apply statistical analysis and machine learning techniques to accurately calibrate processor design parameters using large datasets from measurements on quantum processors and dedicated baselining/monitoring devices. Design and implement industry-grade software infrastructure to streamline feedback from measurement to the integrated circuit design team. Collaborate with engineers and scientists at Rigetti’s quantum foundry to monitor and improve fabrication yield and identify high-yielding candidate processors for testing and deployment. Required Qualifications
Undergraduate degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field. Masters degree relevant to quantum information science or 4+ years of relevant work experience. Strong background in statistics and analysis of large data sets. Undergraduate-level knowledge of circuit theory (design and analysis of electrical circuits). Programming skills in Python for scientific applications, ideally in an industry or highly collaborative environment. Experience collaborating with experimentalists to analyze and interpret experimental data. Ability to excel in a collaborative environment. Excellent communication skills. Nice to Have
PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field. Knowledge or direct experience in superconducting physics, Josephson junction physics and fabrication techniques, RF engineering, integrated circuit design, circuit quantum electrodynamics, or superconducting qubits. Experience in a technical role within an industry or startup environment. Compensation and Benefits
$120,000 - $150,000 per year. Rigetti complies with all local and state regulations regarding salary ranges. Final compensation will be determined by factors such as relevant work experience, skills, and geographic location. Rigetti offers a full slate of benefits including competitive salaries, equity, medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, parental leave, rejuvenation days, and a vacation policy aligned with local regulations and industry standards.
