This role will focus on the design, construction, and operation of the quantum computer, working closely with the quantum error correction and algorithms theory team. This role involves leading the building of complex AMO systems as well as leading a team of engineering technicians. Prior experience in experimental quantum science is desirable but not required. We are hiring at all experience levels, including post-bachelors, masters, PhD, and beyond.
