Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Superconducting Qubit Quantum Engineer
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lexington, Massachusetts, United States, 02173
Overview
The Quantum-Enabled Computation Group focuses on transformative computational advantage using quantized and entangled signals. The group works across quantum computing with superconducting qubits, classical computing with single flux quanta in superconducting circuits, and quantum information science and algorithms. We support the broader US research enterprise via superconducting device foundries and open-source software development and assist the US Government as strategic Test and Evaluation partners and subject matter experts. The interdisciplinary group includes experts in computer science, quantum information, device theory, materials science, fabrication and integration engineering, electrical and microwave engineering, and quantum physics. Position
Assistant Staff Superconducting Qubit Engineer The Quantum-Enabled Computation Group (Group 89) seeks a full-time assistant staff member to join our superconducting qubit team. The staff member will be responsible for running cryogenic and room-temperature hardware, developing test and control software infrastructure and automation, designing and simulating superconducting quantum circuits, analyzing data sets, and troubleshooting hardware and software. Experiments are conducted in commercial dilution refrigerators at millikelvin temperatures. Experimental controls are generated at room temperature using standard RF and baseband equipment along with some quantum-specific hardware. Experiments are executed and analyzed using homegrown software packages. Role scope
We are hiring for several roles that require this general skill set, including some positions that require higher-level security clearances. If you are open to these roles, please indicate this in your application. Qualifications
Bachelors degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Quantum Science/Engineering, or related field. Demonstrated scientific programming skills (Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, etc.). Willingness to be primarily on-site and working in a laboratory. Interest in deep root cause analysis of unexpected characteristics of data. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively on difficult, open-ended problems on interdisciplinary technical teams. Desired: Experience in experimental research, especially exposure to quantum mechanics and/or condensed matter. Experience in control, integration and validation of RF, microwave, or other high-speed equipment. Experience operating cryogenic systems and/or debugging instrumentation, mechanical, and cryogenic components. Experience testing DC, digital and/or high-speed analog devices. Benefits
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans MIT-funded pension Matching 401K Paid leave (including vacation, sick, parental, military, etc.) Tuition reimbursement and continuing education programs Mentorship programs A range of work-life balance options ... and much more! For more information, please visit MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s Benefits page. As an employee, you may also access other voluntary benefits, discounts and perks. Security and Compliance
Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance. EEO
