Senior Quantum Field Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Role Overview (which is about the role). Responsibilities (shared responsibilities and track-specific). Required Qualifications (including track-specific). Nice to Have (skills). Travel Requirements (maybe schedule? but not pay/benefits). No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. Travel Requirements could be considered Schedule? But schedule is about work hours; travel is not schedule. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. So we should not include those headings. We should include About the role (maybe "About the role" heading). Responsibilities. Requirements (or Qualifications). Skills (Nice to Have). Possibly also "Travel Requirements" could be under Responsibilities? But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to use Requirements and Qualifications both? The posting has "Required Qualifications" and "Nice to Have". Could map Required Qualifications to Requirements (or Qualifications). Nice to Have to Skills. We'll include sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3) for Required Qualifications, Skills (h3) for Nice to Have. Also maybe include "Travel" as part of Responsibilities? But we should not create a Schedule section. Travel info is in Responsibilities (shared responsibilities includes travel requirement). Also there is a separate "Travel Requirements:" paragraph. We'll incorporate that into Responsibilities. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, diversity statements, licensing compliance, AI tools, etc. Also remove "Learn more at www.rigetti.com", "Don't see the job you want? Apply here..." etc. Also remove "As engineering leaders, we value diversity..." etc. Also remove "Export Licensing Compliance" etc. Also remove "About Rigetti" maybe? That's about company; could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's company description. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Rigetti" is not explicitly listed but could be considered company overview; not required to keep? It's substantive? Might be considered background but not essential to role. Safer to keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Rigetti" is substantive about company. However it's not directly about the role. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Usually job postings include company overview; it's not EEO. I'd keep it as a paragraph maybe under About the role? But we already have About the role heading for role overview. Could add a separate section "About Rigetti" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list is limited; we should not add other headings. Could incorporate company info into About the role paragraph? Might be okay but risk of altering content. Better to keep as a paragraph under About the role? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can only use those headings. So we must fit all content under those headings. So we can put company description under About the role paragraph (maybe after role overview). That's acceptable. Now we need to extract content. Let's parse the posting: Role Overview paragraph: "As a Systems Integration Engineer on the Deployments team, you will be at the operational frontier of Rigetti's external quantum systems work — bringing processors to life at customer sites and ensuring they perform to specification in production. You will be among the first people to deploy a Rigetti system in a new environment, owning the technical work from initial bring-up through sustained cloud operation. While this role is primarily based in the UK, it requires travel to customer sites globally to support deployment of Rigetti quantum systems. You will serve as a direct technical representative of the team, working alongside on-site personnel and translating complex experimental results into clear operational guidance for both specialist and non-specialist audiences. When not engaged with on-site deployments, you will collaborate closely with internal R&D teams to drive critical improvements to device performance and scalability. This role has two specialization tracks. Candidates will be assessed for fit across both and placed based on experience: Systems & Integration — focused on device bring-up, cryogenic hardware, qubit and fridge characterisation, and cross-functional debug from cryo to deployment. Gate Calibration & Deployment — focused on 1Q/2Q gate performance, automated recalibration, production monitoring, and cloud deployment workflows." Travel Requirements: "This position requires regular travel, with an expectation of approximately 30–50% travel to customer sites." Responsibilities: Shared Responsibilities bullet list (we need to convert to

• ). Then Systems & Integration Track bullet list. Then Gate Calibration & Deployment Track bullet list. Required Qualifications: "All candidates PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent degree with relevant industry or postdoctoral experience (see track requirements below). Hands-on experience with superconducting qubit devices. Proficiency in Python in a scientific or engineering context. Strong systematic debugging skills: able to isolate failures across the full measurement chain (wiring, electronics, device, software). Comfort operating in customer-facing and field environments with limited on-site infrastructure support. Excellent written and verbal communication; able to write clear experimental reports and debrief non-specialists. Willingness and ability to travel internationally 10–25% of the time. MS/BS with 3+ years of relevant experience (or PhD). Systems & Integration Track additionally requires Experience troubleshooting cryogenic microwave hardware. Gate Calibration & Deployment Track additionally requires Experience calibrating and characterising 1Q and 2Q gates on superconducting qubit devices. Strong quantitative understanding of gate error sources: decoherence, leakage, control distortion, etc. Experience writing high-quality code and working through formal code review (Git)." Nice to Have: separate for each track. We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll create sections:

  About the role

  Role Overview paragraph + company description (About Rigetti) maybe.

  Responsibilities

  Travel Requirements sentence maybe included.

  • ... shared responsibilities items
  ... etc. We need to include track-specific responsibilities under same Responsibilities section? Could nest subheadings? Not allowed; only h3 for section headings. Could include paragraphs describing tracks then lists. We'll keep as paragraphs then lists. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep all bullet points. Let's extract bullet points. Shared Responsibilities (from text): - Own the technical work for your track during on-site deployments: define scope, execute experiments or calibrations, validate against specification, and document outcomes. - Debug failures and isolate root causes across hardware, software, and infrastructure; escalate findings and drive resolution cross-functionally. - Act as the primary technical point of contact for customers during on-site engagements; communicate results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Monitor deployed systems and proactively identify and respond to regressions, drift, or outages. - Train team members and customer-side personnel on procedures, workflows, and best practices relevant to your track. - Contribute to internal tooling, documentation, and automation to improve repeatability and reduce manual effort. - Work with internal R&D teams to drive improvements to device performance at scale. - Be available for international travel up to 10–25% of the time in support of customer deployments. Note: The travel requirement appears also earlier (30-50%). There's a slight discrepancy: Shared responsibilities says up to 10-25% travel; earlier says 30-50% travel. We must preserve both; we can include both statements. Systems & Integration Track responsibilities: - Develop detailed experimental plans for each cooldown: define measurement scope, sequence, and success criteria prior to cool-down. - Characterise qubits and readout using internal tooling; validate coherence, line yield, and qubit yield against project requirements. - Debug failures and isolate root causes across hardware, fabrication, and design. - Provide remote support to on-site teams as required between deployments. Gate Calibration & Deployment Track responsibilities: - Validate single- and two-qubit gate performance against specification using standard benchmarking techniques. - Bring up and fine-tune gate calibrations on production devices; identify and resolve systematic error sources affecting 1Q and 2Q fidelity. - Maintain, monitor, and improve Rigetti's automated recalibration system for cloud-deployed processors. - Own deployment workflows for new gate calibrations: test, validate, stage, and release to production with minimal disruption to uptime. Now Required Qualifications (All candidates): - PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent degree with relevant industry or postdoctoral experience (see track requirements below). - Hands-on experience with superconducting qubit devices. - Proficiency in Python in a scientific or engineering context. - Strong systematic debugging skills: able to isolate failures across the full measurement chain (wiring, electronics, device, software). - Comfort operating in customer-facing and field environments with limited on-site infrastructure support. - Excellent written and verbal communication; able to write clear experimental reports and debrief non-specialists. - Willingness and ability to travel internationally 10–25% of the time. - MS/BS with 3+ years of relevant experience (or PhD). Systems & Integration Track additionally requires: - Experience troubleshooting cryogenic microwave hardware. Gate Calibration & Deployment Track additionally requires: - Experience calibrating and characterising 1Q and 2Q gates on superconducting qubit devices. - Strong quantitative understanding of gate error sources: decoherence, leakage, control distortion, etc. - Experience writing high-quality code and working through formal code review (Git). Nice to Have: Systems & Integration Track: - Experience operating and troubleshooting dilution refrigerators. - Knowledge of common qubit failure modes and their signatures (e.g., TLS, flux noise, packaging issues). - Software development experience in a collaborative industrial setting (Git, code review, CI). - Prior experience in a customer-facing or field engineering role. Gate Calibration & Deployment Track: - Experience with automated or scheduled recalibration systems in a production or high-uptime environment. - Familiarity with cloud deployment infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker). - Experience with pulse-level gate optimisation (DRAG, flux pulse shaping, dynamical decoupling). - Experience supporting a rotational on-call or production-support schedule. - Prior experience in a customer-facing or field engineering role. Also there is a line: "As engineering leaders, we value diversity..." which we must remove (EEO boilerplate). Also "About Rigetti" paragraph we may keep under About the role.
