## About the role

In this role, you will work in a team of quantum scientists to develop software solutions for calibration and optimization of quantum dot devices. You will focus on building robust routines for coarse tuning, calibrating high-fidelity single- and two-qubit gates, optimizing the full processor at scale, and maintaining peak performance in real time. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Perform cryogenic measurements and characterization of quantum dot-based qubits
- Invent, implement, and test novel control protocols for all the required bring-up steps, starting from coarse tuning to optimizing two-qubit gates
- Develop scalable protocols for processor-wide optimization (e.g., cross-talk mitigation, leakage reduction, and defect mitigation) and real-time retuning
- Collaborate with your colleagues in the engineering and product teams to translate ideas and research outcomes into production-level software
- Explain, document, and present research solutions in accessible language
- Engage with researchers at partnering companies and organizations to discuss current and future Q-CTRL calibration routines
