Quantum HW Scientist and Engineer

Qolab is recruiting quantum hardware scientists and engineers to join our team focused on the development of utility-scale superconducting quantum computers. The technical effort at Qolab is led by Nobel laureate John Martinis (CTO); other senior scientists at Qolab, including Robert McDermott (Head of Hardware), have worked closely with the recent Nobel laureates for many years. Qolab partners with the best in the world in specific domain areas - state-of-the-art device fabrication, high-speed control electronics, and high-performance computing - to engineer robust systems that are compatible with near-term beyond classical applications and ultimately with full fault tolerance. The first priority at Qolab is to improve qubit coherence using a deep understanding of the underlying physics to develop proprietary fabrication processes that are now being implemented with Qolab partner Applied Materials, the world leader in development of advanced tooling for the semiconductor industry.

Qualified applicants will have at least a bachelor’s degree in physics, electrical engineering, or a related field with a minimum of three years of relevant experience working on quantum technologies or related areas. New quantum hardware engineers must be able to relocate and work onsite at Qolab in Madison, WI.
