Senior Quantum Engineer, Gate Calibration

📋 Description

• Lead experiments to characterize and calibrate two-qubit gates on tunable-coupler devices.
• Identify gate-error bottlenecks and isolate their origins via experiments, benchmarking, and
• Develop calibration methods using optimal pulses, dynamical decoupling, and scalable automation.
• Improve metrology for full-processor Hamiltonian and correlate with gate performance.
• Prepare Rigetti devices for internal and external use and translate literature to production

🎯 Requirements

• PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Hands-on experience calibrating two-qubit gates on superconducting devices; tunable couplers a plus.
• Strong understanding of gate design, pulse engineering, decoherence, and fidelity improvements.
• Ability to execute complex experiments from concept to validated result.
• Strong Python skills and building tools for scientific use.
• Rigorous experimental work ethic and clear, collaborative communication.

🎁 Benefits

• Publication opportunities in superconducting quantum computing.
• Autonomy and ownership in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.
• Opportunities to mentor and lead small technical efforts.
