About this role

Senior Quantum Engineer, Superconducting Qubits Berkeley, CA or Fremont, CA We are looking for a Senior Quantum Engineer with expertise in superconducting qubits to join our hardware R&D team. This role is for someone who wants to work on technically difficult problems that directly shape a quantum hardware platform. You will not be optimizing within a fixed roadmap, you will help define it. You will design, execute, and interpret experiments that push the performance and scalability of superconducting qubit systems. You will develop new gate schemes, explore advanced control protocols, and test architectural ideas that can influence platform-level decisions. We operate in direct competition with the best-funded and most established teams in the world. We are looking for someone who finds that motivating. You will have a high degree of autonomy and ownership while working in a collaborative environment. If you have a strong technical hypothesis, you will be expected to test it rigorously and defend it with data. Strong ideas move quickly through experimental validation.
