Quantum R&D Engineer – Processor Development

Job description

About Us QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors. With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in! We are seeking a Senior Quantum R&D Engineer to join our Quantum Processor team and develop the next generation of Quantum Processing Units (QPU). This role is focused on improving processor performance by designing, validating and iterating on-chip architectures like inter-qubit couplers and readout architectures. You will take ownership of the end-to-end development cycle, creating designs, collaborating with our fabrication teams and performing cryogenic measurement to inform design iterations. You will directly contribute these improvements into our large-scale QPUs. What you’ll be doing Design & Simulate: Conceive, model, and layout next-generation, large-scale superconducting quantum processor architectures. Design custom test vehicles and prototypes to compare and validate new component implementations (like inter-qubit couplers and readout architectures), before integrating them into full-scale processors. Measure & Validate: Close the feedback loop by designing and performing cryogenic measurements on your own designs to validate performance and inform design improvements. Ownership: Take complete ownership of device or component development – from the initial concept through design, simulation, experiment, data analysis, and iteration. Automate: Write and improve code to automate design, simulation, and measurement workflows. Collaborate: Collaborate closely with design and measurement engineers, teams to ensure rapid design-to-test cycles Your Profile 5+ years of hands-on experience in multi-qubit superconducting quantum device development Deep understanding of cQED , quantum microwave circuits and superconducting qubits. Extensive experience in design and cryogenic measurement of superconducting qubit circuits Proficiency in Python and software tools for quantum design and experiments (e.g. HFSS, Comsol, p…
