Senior Quantum Engineer - Quantum Systems

About the role

This role combines technical depth with hands-on engineering and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Design and conduct experiments or simulations, collect and analyze data, report results, and use findings to improve future work. Develop equipment, devices, components, tools, or processes needed for quantum engineering and research.

Collaborate across hardware, software, and algorithm teams to understand subsystem requirements and interfaces, troubleshoot system-level issues, and validate integrated system performance. Apply engineering best practices to improve reliability, repeatability, scalability, quality, and performance.

Create and maintain clear technical documentation, including methods, results, operating procedures, and guidance that other teams can reuse. Identify technical risks or roadblocks, investigate failures, and communicate recommendations and progress to stakeholders. Uphold safety, security, compliance, and secure-by-design practices in laboratory, engineering, and collaborative work.

Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment OR Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment OR Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 1+ year(s) experience in industry or in a research and development environment, could include completion of a post doctoral research position OR equivalent experience.

These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Citizenship & Citizenship Verification: This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations.

To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable.
