Senior Quantum Engineer, Quantum Integrated Circuit Design

Job description

As a Quantum Engineer in the quantum integrated circuit design team, you will drive systematic improvements to Rigetti Computing’s quantum processors through modeling and design. You will be actively involved in realizing the chips that are at the core of our technology stack. You will contribute to our full-wave electromagnetic simulation workflows and use it to model the performance of superconducting circuits. Drawing from your expertise in circuit Quantum Electrodynamics and full-wave radio-frequency engineering, from fundamental theory through practical application, you will identify and implement improvements to the integrated circuit layout to mitigate loss and crosstalk channels. You will lay out and design microwave multi-qubit circuits for fabrication and develop next-generation quantum processors. Key Responsibilities: - Design, lay out, and simulate superconducting microwave integrated circuits for quantum processors, with a focus on optimal on-chip signal delivery (routing, filtering, multiplexing, etc…) - Simulate the full-wave electromagnetic performance of quantum processors (eigenmode & driven analyses) using commercial finite element software, engineering the mode...
