What we do The capabilities of current generation quantum devices are still quite underwhelming. They are slow and error-prone; and scientists spend an enormous amount of time just optimizing their setups. We are gathering the brightest minds to solve this Join us on our journey to become the world’s leading scientific machine learning company, starting with the control of quantum technology devices. We work remotely, and meet physically once a month for planning, brainstorming and shared meals. Why we need you As we build the tools to help scientists and engineers better understand their quantum devices, we need a team of experimental physicists adept at measurement, calibration and characterization of superconducting quantum computers. This team implements various 1 and 2 Qubit characterisation experiments – both standard textbook techniques as well as more bespoke, tailored experiments – to expand the continuously growing library of characterisation experiments in QruiseOS. The team also works with our academic and industry partners to execute these experiments and anylse the data for the complete bring-up of real quantum computing hardware at various testbeds and partner sites througout Europe. Your profile We are looking for folks that understand both the pains of experimentalists (spending days tuning up their system after every cool down) and the advantage that software & automation services can bring to this process. It is crucial that you have extensive experience in the bring-up of superconducting quantum computers, going from cool-down all the way up to fully calibrated 2 qubit gates. We need scientists who feel comfortable in speaking (and translating between) the languages spoken by theoretical physicists as well as experimentalists/engineers. Required and Preferred qualifications: Strong background in Measurement and Control of Quantum Systems (PhD/MSc in Physics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience) is required At least 2 years of experimental experience with Superconducting Qubits (e.g., single and two qubit gates, readout) is required At least 2 years of experience calibrating multi-qubit QPUs from scratch is required At least 2 years of experience in scientific programming and building software systems is required At least 2 years of experience using software for interfacing with QPU/control electronics and data analysis is required Experience working in a collaborative software environment (e.g., version control, code review, style guides) is preferred 1 year of experience in industry or academic research is preferred You must already reside or be willing to relocate near EU time-zones (CET±1) What we need for your application Your CV is a good start. But, what we’d really like to see is that you have a proven track record of projects and work in the relevant field. So if you can send us a link to your GitHub, recent projects or real-world examples of what you have done so far, that is what really interests us. Before a possible interview, please think about the following: What is something you accomplished which you are really proud of? What technological developments are you excited about? What are the things that you have taught yourself? What is something you would like to learn or improve in the near future?
