Description

The Senior Quantum System Architect is responsible for building system architecture design for silicon-based quantum computation. The architect is a deeply creative systems engineer with years of experimental quantum technology expertise. While many concepts from classical computer architecture – microarchitecture, instruction set, etc. – will continue to be useful, the many challenges of developing a quantum computing system will inspire new concepts and techniques. As a Senior Quantum System Architect, you will work with teammates with expertise spanning device physics, hardware, qubit control and error correction, classical computer architecture and compilers, as well as our silicon qubit processor team. Together, you will develop, prototype, and implement key solutions for our silicon-based quantum computer architecture.

Please include a cover letter with your resume (in one file) describing how you would be a great fit at Photonic and what attributes you could bring to our growing team.

What We Need You To Do

• Work closely with the Chief Quantum Officer to provide the technical vision for the team
• Design, model, prototype, and guide the implementation of new architectures for fault-tolerant silicon-based quantum computing
• Participate in technical reviews to coordinate and prioritize the projects to design, create, and integrate technical components to deliver fault-tolerant quantum processors
• Design and model architectures that balance both quantum and classical resources
• Contribute technical expertise via collaboration with the Photonic team to tailor fault-tolerant architectures to real-world silicon devices and develop hardware towards fault-tolerance
• Explore how quantum devices can optimize key performance factors such as fidelity, connectivity, coherence, scalability, reliability, and efficiency
• Identify, model, and evaluate opportunities for long-term performance improvements
• Write patents, internal documents, and peer-reviewed articles reporting advances where applicable
• Support the delivery of technical communications to executives and external partners
• Identify and build collaborations with outside research organizations (government labs, academic groups)
• Train, guide, and develop current and additional team members
  
  

What You Bring To Our Team

• Masters or PhD in Quantum Information Processing, Electrical engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in the field of quantum engineering
• Experimental quantum technology expertise in quantum optics, spin qubits, photon-spin interfaces, and high fidelity quantum control and measurement
• Deep expertise working at the interface of condensed matter physics and quantum information science
• Experience with quantum architecture best practices
• Proficiency in working with Python or other modern programming language
• Ability to be flexible and adapt to new situations in rapidly changing research environment
• Demonstrated ability to creatively solve engineering problems
• Outstanding teamwork skills
• Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills
