Q-CTRL's Quantum Computing Research team seeks a senior research scientist for a hybrid role in Los Angeles. The work centers on runtime calibration of superconducting quantum hardware, especially optimizing two-qubit gates so quantum algorithms and error correction can run at high fidelity. The person would move calibration execution closer to the hardware using FPGA compute and low-latency communication with the host, and collaborate with research, product and engineering colleagues to turn findings into software tools. The posting gives no explicit degree or experience requirements; its distinctive focus is hardware-adjacent calibration.
