Practical quantum computing. Delivered over the cloud. Backed by a16z and Alchemist.
About the role
Own the process health and performance of assigned PVD modules through SPC, process monitoring, and data analysis. Develop, optimize, and qualify thin-film deposition processes for superconducting resonators, signal wiring, and interconnect structures — including qualification of new equipment, materials, and process technologies.
What they're looking for
- Exposure to quantum computing, cryogenic measurements, or superconducting device technologies
- Experience working in a startup or R&D-focused engineering environment
More about this role
Rigetti Computing is developing superconducting quantum computers to solve some of humanity's most challenging computational problems. We are a highly interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers working at the forefront of quantum computing, materials science, and semiconductor fabrication. We value collaboration, curiosity, and technical excellence, and believe that diverse backgrounds and perspectives drive innovation.
As a Senior Process Engineer – Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) , you will own the process health and performance of one or more production deposition modules used to fabricate superconducting quantum processors — developing, optimizing, and qualifying thin-film deposition processes, and using data to drive continuous improvement. As you grow in the role, you will take on increasing scope in setting technical direction for your process area, mentoring other engineers, and representing process engineering in cross-functional decisions.
You will work closely with equipment, facilities, process integration, materials, design, and quantum engineering teams to solve complex technical problems and support the continued scaling of Rigetti's quantum hardware...
