Sygaldry builds quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up AI training and inference, cutting compute costs and improving energy efficiency. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We are seeking a hands-on research engineer to build, integrate, and operate the experimental systems behind our quantum program. You will work on real hardware: building advanced scientific machines and developing devices across the boundaries between electronics, optics, timing, firmware, and software. Build, test, and commission electronic, optical, vacuum, and cryogenic subsystems. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Hands-on experience building, aligning, integrating, or repairing real instruments and experimental setups
- Practical depth in one or more of: optics and photonics, electronics, RF, microwave, and controls, embedded or FPGA development, vacuum and cryogenics, scientific software and automation, device fabrication and characterization
- A track record of making something work reliably, and of finding the real cause of a stubborn failure
- Python or similar for instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis. Experience integrating tools across hardware control interfaces and software systems
- A B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in physics, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Especially practical experience in a hardware development or production industry
- Comfort working across disciplines, and clear reporting of what worked, what failed, and what you fixed
More about this role
Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference for AI. By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to superintelligence, and addressing the problem of rising compute costs and energy bottlenecks. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We're looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.
