By design, our chip architecture decouples control lines from qubit count, removing a key bottleneck in scaling. It combines the proven reliability of superconducting circuits with a breakthrough approach to qubit control, paving the way for quantum computers capable of solving the world’s most challenging problems.
We are seeking aQuantum Measurement Engineerto design, implement, and optimize high-fidelity measurement and control of superconducting qubits.
What You'll be doing
- Design, implement, and optimize qubit readout and control chains for superconducting quantum processors
- Develop measurement protocols for qubit characterization (T₁, T₂, Ramsey, echo, RB, readout fidelity, crosstalk, etc.)
- Optimize signal-to-noise ratio and measurement fidelity under realistic hardware constraints
- Develop and maintain experimental control software (Python-based stacks, FPGA or AWG integration)
- Analyze experimental data and compare results with theoretical models and simulations
- Collaborate closely with device physicists, fabrication teams, and system engineers to improve hardware performance
- Contribute to scalable measurement architectures and automation for large-qubit systems
- Document experimental procedures and results clearly for internal and external communication
Requirements
- PhD or MSc in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- At least +5y of strong hands-on experience with superconducting qubits or closely related quantum hardware.
- Practical experience with microwave engineering (GHz electronics, IQ mixers, amplifiers, VNAs)
- Solid understanding of quantum measurement theory and qubit decoherence mechanisms
- Experience operating cryogenic systems, especially dilution refrigerators
- Proficiency i
