Job description

Lead Quantum Engineer

Rigetti is seeking a Lead Quantum Engineer for the Systems Performance team. In this position you will play a critical role in shaping our technical roadmap. You will lead a cross-functional team focused on building the next generation of Rigetti's quantum hardware, and take a high-ownership role in delivering the technologies required to unlock new levels of performance at scale.

In your daily work, you will propose new ideas to push the performance and scalability of superconducting qubit systems, design and execute experiments to test those ideas, and lead a diverse set of engineers and scientists to identify and mitigate key performance gaps.

The right candidate will have a demonstrated track record of scientific success across multiple institutions, technical leadership experience, a high-ownership mentality, and strong organization and communication skills.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and lead cross-functional experimental programs to inform the technical roadmap and drive systems-level improvements.
  • Propose and explore new technical directions.
  • Identify and address complex gaps in existing technology.
  • Own the delivery of key quantum hardware technologies.

About You

  • PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Prior technical role in an industry or start-up environment.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership experience.
  • Direct experience with cryogenic systems and RF measurement techniques
  • Extensive hands-on experience with time-domain measurement, and superconducting quantum devices.
  • Track record of meaningful accomplishments in quantum science or related fields.
  • Working knowledge of Python.
  • Enjoys teamwork and inter-team collaboration.
  • Excellent communication skills.

Nice to Have

  • Strong coding skills.
  • Familiarity with cQED simulation tools.

$190,000 - $225,000 a year Base Salary Rigetti complies with all local and state regulations in regards to displaying salary ranges. Final compensation for this role will be determined by various factors such as a candidate's relevant work experience, skills, and geographic location. Rigetti offers a full slate of benefits from competitive salaries, equity, medical, dental and vision for employees as well as a 401(k) plan, a paid parental leave program, rejuvenation days, and a vacation policy that aligns with local regulations and industry standards.

As engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. Our technology, meant to serve all of humanity, cannot succeed if those who built it do not mirror the diversity of the communities we serve. Applications from women, minorities, and other under-represented groups are encouraged.
