Quantum Hardware Physicist: Optics & Laser Systems
Midjourney
Midjourney is seeking a physicist to develop revolutionary quantum hardware technologies in the San Francisco Bay Area. The role requires multiple years of experimental quantum physics experience and hands-on laser-based optical measurements. On-site work is expected in the San Francisco Bay Area up to five days per week, and U.S. citizenship is required due to the nature of the work. The qualifications emphasize designing, implementing, and troubleshooting experiments. #J-18808-Ljbffr Midjourney
