Rigetti is hiring a lead engineer for its Systems Performance team in Berkeley, California, on a hybrid basis. The job mixes hands-on experimental work with technical leadership: proposing ideas for improving the performance and scalability of superconducting qubit systems, designing and running experiments to test them, and directing engineers and scientists to close identified performance gaps. The posting also names a part in shaping the technical roadmap. It asks for a record of scientific achievement across more than one institution, prior technical leadership, and strong organization and communication skills.
