Senior Research Scientist, Superconducting Qubit Measurement, Quantum AI

Senior Research Scientist, Superconducting Qubit Measurement, Quantum AI Cambridge, MA, USA Requirements PhD in physics, electrical engineering, or a related engineering discipline or equivalent practical experience. 3 years of research or industry experience. Experience performing measurements of superconducting qubits or superconducting digital logic circuits. Experience coding in Python. At least one published research paper and one presentation at a relevant scientific conference. Preferred Qualifications 7 years of research or industry experience in measurement, design, or simulation of superconducting qubits or superconducting digital logic. 3 years of experience leading research projects. Experience working with dilution refrigerators or microwave engineering. Experience in calibrating gates or other precise control of superconducting qubits. Proficiency with Python to interface with control electronics, execute measurements, and perform data analysis. Job Responsibilities Perform millikelvin measurements of superconducting circuits for quantum computing, including calibration of qubit gates, readout, and flux pulses using both room‑temperature and cryogenic electronics. Collaborate with qubit designers, fabrication engineers, and other measurement engineers to maximize device performance, reduce crosstalk, and improve gate fidelities. Build a fully integrated, modular chip stack that combines superconducting qubits with their control electronics directly within the cryogenic environment. Calibrate and characterize superconducting qubits and mixed‑signal circuits, including transmon, fluxonium, or single‑flux‑quantum (SFQ) superconducting circuits. Build and maintain software for control and analysis of these superconducting circuits. Design novel control schemes to calibrate qubits and interface with novel superconducting electronics. Partner with design, fabrication, and measurement teams to validate fully integrated quantum processors. Author high‑quality research papers and present findings at leading scientific conferences to advance the state‑of‑the‑art and enhance publicity.
