Role description
Verbatim from the employer’s posting, rendered as plain text.
Rigetti is seeking a Lead Quantum Engineer for the Systems Performance team. In this position you will play a critical role in shaping our technical roadmap. You will lead a cross-functional team focused on building the next generation of Rigetti’s quantum hardware, and take a high-ownership role in delivering the technologies required to unlock new levels of performance at scale. In your daily work, you will propose new ideas to push the performance and scalability of superconducting qubit systems, design and execute experiments to test those ideas, and lead a diverse set of engineers and scientists to identify and mitigate key performance gaps. The right candidate will have a demonstrated track record of scientific success across multiple institutions, technical leadership experience, a high-ownership mentality, and strong organization and communication skills.
