WD is building the infrastructure behind the AI-driven data economy. As AI scales, so does data. Every interaction, every model, every system generates data that must be stored, managed, and made accessible over time. That’s where we come in. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
We are seeking a talented researcher to join our team and drive innovative research projects in quantum computing, specifically to focus on superconducting quantum device design engineering. You will play a pivotal role in conceiving and developing novel superconducting device architectures, spanning microwave resonators, qubits, readout and coupling architectures, integrated multi-qubit systems, and superconducting interconnects. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Ph.D degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science or related
- Experience in device nanofabrication challenges, packaging and low temperature characterization of superconducting qubits based devices. This is essential experience needed for new generation of successful designs
- Experience in design and EM simulation of superconducting qubit devices, including designs of QPU chiplets assembly
- Other experiences related to other device systems, materials characterization, electronic and optical device characterization are equally important
- Proficiency in a wide array of programming languages, like Python, Rust, TCL, or C, and the ability to choose the right one for the task, including knowledge (or willingness to acquire knowledge) of FPGA based microcontrollers

You will play a pivotal role in conceiving and developing novel superconducting device architectures, spanning microwave resonators, qubits, readout and coupling architectures, integrated multi-qubit systems, and superconducting interconnects.
You will push the performance and scalability of superconducting qubit systems by developing, simulating, and refining device layout designs, working closely with measurement and material scientists to understand material and interface properties and circumvent their limiting effects through targeted design solutions.
The successful candidates are expected to be self-driven scientists and engineers, willing to seamlessly switch between different design and simulation techniques, capable of focusing on multiple different device designs and thin film material systems leading to successful development of quantum process development kits (PDKs).
