Rigetti is hiring a quantum engineer to improve two-qubit gate fidelity on its tunable-coupler superconducting processors. The work is experimental: designing and running tests, tracing gate errors to their physical origin, and removing them through pulse engineering, calibration methodology, error suppression, or feedback to device design and fabrication. Findings inform device design, control strategy and research priorities, and procedures must hold across hundreds of qubit pairs. The posting asks for an experienced engineer, offers substantial autonomy, and sits within a group spanning fabrication, control, software and theory.
