Jobs at D-Wave Systems

Lead and drive research in quantum error correction for dual-rail erasure qubits: code and decoder design, logical operations, resource estimation, and co-design with hardware, control, compiler, and architecture teams. Mentor junior researchers, set technical direction, and advise on fault-tolerance roadmap toward realizing logical qubits.

Lead the design and development of software for quantum machine learning methods. Collaborate with researchers and communicate findings. Oversee best practices in machine learning systems and influence product offerings.

Design and optimize superconducting integrated circuits (Josephson junctions, SQUIDs, SFQ, QFPs, resonators, qubits); develop and improve EDA toolchains and device models; verify manufacturability; mitigate packaging, I/O, electronics, and cryogenic impacts; provide technical leadership and strategy; mentor engineers; debug complex issues and document designs across teams.

Own integration and deployment of production dual-rail quantum processors. Drive project management and cross-team technical problem solving across electrical, cryogenic, RF, and system engineering. Design and run validation/test programs, plan long-term integration strategies, and improve system resilience for production quantum systems.

Perform experimental characterization, calibration, and noise analysis of superconducting quantum processors. Develop models, simulations, and analysis routines to fit data and detect outliers. Design parametric device improvements, assess environmental impacts (packaging, IO, cryogenics), document results, contribute to LISP software for processor modeling and operation, and collaborate across interdisciplinary teams.

Design and deliver quantum optimization solutions by mapping customer problems to D-Wave hybrid solvers, building and testing prototypes, developing production applications, and collaborating with customers and internal teams to ensure successful project delivery and product feedback.

Create and maintain customer-facing technical documentation (API references, user guides, hardware docs, code examples, release notes). Collaborate with software, hardware, support, product, and marketing teams; participate in product lifecycle; improve documentation processes, single-sourcing, and discoverability; use Git and Jira to track and resolve documentation issues.

Drive integration of D-Wave's QPU fabrication processes from R&D to low-to-medium-volume production. Design and execute experiments, operate and qualify lithography, deposition and etch tools, implement SPC and in situ metrology, troubleshoot equipment, mentor junior engineers, and support design and facility build-out.

Design, test, characterize, and optimize cryogenic RF networks and hardware for quantum computers. Model and simulate RF performance, develop validation plans, perform lab testing and troubleshooting, select materials and manufacturing approaches for cryogenic PCBs and interconnects, integrate systems with cross-functional teams, work with vendors, and drive continuous improvement of RF designs and test methodologies.

Conduct market and competitive intelligence research for quantum computing products; track competitors, patents, publications, financial signals, and industry trends. Use AI-enabled tools and dashboards (Tableau/Power BI/Python) to gather, analyze, and visualize data. Produce reports and presentations to inform product strategy and support cross-functional teams.

Design and verify superconducting integrated circuits and layouts for quantum processors. Model device behavior, use/extend EDA toolchains, simulate electromagnetic and quantum effects, and collaborate cross-functionally to debug and document designs.

The Senior Business Analyst will lead cross-functional MRP, Supply Chain, and Finance system improvements, gather requirements, and support the implementation of scalable solutions.

Develop and maintain software for Processor Development, manage configuration tools, collaborate across teams, and mentor junior developers while improving software architecture.

The Staff Technical Account Manager will lead technical engagements with customers, support quantum computing solution deployment, and foster long-term relationships while providing technical guidance.

As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will develop quantum optimization solutions, collaborate with teams and customers, and deliver applications that solve complex business problems.

The Senior Solution Engineer will collaborate with clients to develop scalable solutions, manage technical implementations, and enhance customer success through advanced computing technologies.

The Senior Solutions Architect will develop quantum optimization solutions, work with customers to address business problems, and build applications on D-Wave's quantum computer.

As a Staff Network Engineer at D-Wave, you'll design, implement, and maintain networking infrastructure, manage AWS environments, and ensure network security, while mentoring junior team members.

Work with product managers, scientists, and engineers to implement and extend backend systems and tooling for calibration, protocol development, experimentation, and automation of quantum processors. Write clean, tested code, perform code reviews, debug and profile performance issues, and integrate physicists' protocols into core software.

Lead experimental characterization, calibration, and control of fluxonium qubits and gate-model processors. Investigate decoherence and noise, develop high-fidelity gates, benchmarking and error-mitigation strategies, diagnose scaling limits, collaborate on device design and cryogenic operation, and contribute to Lisp software infrastructure while mentoring and documenting results.
