Job description

About the Company

Logiqal is on a mission to build the first scaled quantum computer, deploying millions of qubits to tackle the world’s most important problems. Our thesis is that you have to build a full scale machine to learn what the actual hard parts are, just like you have to build a full scale rocket before the first launch. We’re looking for a few visionary scientists and engineers to join our team, to move fast and blow stuff up.

Based in Princeton, NJ our founding physics team has decades of combined research experience at leading academic and industry labs including Princeton, Harvard, Yale, MIT and Google Quantum. Our approach is based on neutral atom qubit technology developed in research labs at Princeton by the founding team. Our scalable systems are composed of manufacturable sub-modules, controlled by state-of-the-art CMOS optoelectronics, and designed around a unique computer architecture.

If you’re excited to build something that’s never existed before at the cutting edge of physics and engineering—together with an awesome team with deep technical expertise—come build with us!

About the Role

In this role as Quantum Scientist , you will work on all aspects of Logiqal’s neutral atom quantum processors, owning one or more major parts of our first-generation modular systems. You will work closely with optical systems engineers to develop sub-systems, with the controls and software teams to refine control and data analysis pipelines, and with the computer architecture team to design and implement demonstration experiments to validate key performance metrics.

You might be a good fit if you have experience with neutral atom quantum computers, or related topics in experimental quantum physics (cold atoms, trapped ions, superconducting qubits, quantum optics, etc.), and strong experimental design and creative problem solving abilities.

__________

Compensation consists of a base salary and equity. The salary range for this role is $180-250k, commensurate with experience. We also provide comprehensive benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and highly subsidized benefits for spouses and dependents, a 401k and FSA.
