Senior Quantum Engineer - Systems Integration

Responsibilities

This role involves a combination of experimental work and communication. The Quantum Engineer will be responsible for characterizing both the system and semiconductor/superconductor devices, as well as communicating across all pillars of the quantum program to understand system requirements and the interfaces between the different components. The candidate should have a background in experimental condensed matter physics, applied physics, or electrical engineering with experience in cryogenics and semiconductor or superconductor device measurements.

Key responsibilities of the role:

• Performing room temperature and cryogenic characterization of system performance, including characterization of semiconducting/superconducting devices. Contributing to methods of measuring devices and system performance.
• Analyzing, documenting, and communicating the results of system characterization tests.
• Working with the quantum program’s code infrastructure and helping to document and streamline new measurement and analysis code.
• Collaborating across teams to understand the requirements of different components within the system. Validating that the integrated system meets all performance requirements.
• Helping to design new experiments and devices to debug system performance issues when they arise.
• Characterizing and qualifying room temperature hardware in relation to system performance requirements, and helping to develop code infrastructure for supporting new instrumentation.
