Spin Qubit Calibration Engineer

The role

You will calibrate, tune, and optimize spin qubit devices to advance quantum processors. You will work with cross-functional teams to integrate hardware with control electronics and software.

What you will do

• Calibrate and fine-tune spin qubit systems to optimize gate fidelities, coherence times, and device performance.
• Collaborate with quantum hardware teams to improve qubit initialization, readout processes, and error-correction techniques.
• Work with cross-functional teams to ensure integration of quantum hardware with control electronics and software.
• Develop and implement automated calibration routines and control sequences using advanced programming techniques.
• Address challenges such as qubit decoherence, charge noise, and crosstalk using experimental techniques and data-driven approaches.
• Utilize and develop software tools in Python for data analysis, qubit control, and calibration automation.
• Collaborate using version control systems to manage and document code and project development.
• Maintain detailed records of calibration processes, results, and device performance.
• Present findings to technical teams.
• Contribute to research efforts aimed at improving the scalability and efficiency of quantum computing hardware.

Required qualifications

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Quantum Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with calibrating and measuring solid state quantum devices, such as spin qubits or superconducting qubits.
• Strong background in quantum mechanics and semiconductor device physics.
• Proficiency in cryogenic systems or low-temperature experiments.
• Experience with RF and microwave electronics for qubit control and signal generation.
• Expertise in Python for data analysis, control automation, and experimental optimization.
• Familiarity with Git or other version control systems for collaborative software development.
• Knowledge of quantum control software, and experience working with integrated hardware-software systems.
• Ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues in quantum devices.
• Excellent technical writing and presentation skills.

Nice to have

• Prior experience with spin qubit systems or semiconductor-based quantum technologies.
• Understanding of quantum error correction and multi-qubit architectures.
• Familiarity with scalable quantum computing hardware and quantum information theory.
• Experience with software development best practices, such as version control, code documentation, and collaborative coding.
