Experimental Quantum Physicist

About the role

We are seeking an experimental physicist with strong laboratory experience in atomic, optical, or quantum systems. You will play a key role in building and operating cutting-edge experimental platforms for qubit control, measurement, and scaling.

The ideal candidate enjoys hands-on work, creative problem-solving, and collaborating across disciplines to make new quantum technologies a reality.

Responsibilities

• Design, construct, and characterize precision optical and/or cryogenic systems for quantum experiments.
• Understand and implement protocols for qubit preparation, control, and readout.
• Integrate control electronics, laser or rf and microwave systems, and data acquisition.
• Analyze experimental results and optimize system performance.
• Cross-team collaboration to guide system design and development.

Requirements

• Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Hands-on experience working with advanced laboratory instrumentation and quantum systems including AMO physics, solid-state and/or superconducting systems.
• Familiarity with qubit control, spectroscopy, or precision measurement techniques.
• Strong background in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific problem solving.
• Experience with Python or similar tools for experiment automation.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Qualifications

• Curiosity and intellectual courage drive our work.
• We approach ambitious challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture.
• We prioritize mission over ego and collaborate openly with a strong sense of shared purpose.
• We dream big, yet we execute with a love of detail.
• We are an equal opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.
