Jobs at Rigetti Computing

Lead and scale global field engineering to deploy, integrate, commission, and support on‑premise quantum systems. Own end-to-end site readiness, installation, system integration, commissioning, customer acceptance, handoff, and continuous improvement across hardware, software, and operations.

Lead cross-functional experimental programs to improve the performance and scalability of superconducting qubit systems. Design and execute experiments, identify and mitigate technology gaps, propose technical directions, shape the roadmap, and own delivery of key quantum hardware technologies. The role requires deep experience with cryogenic systems, RF and time-domain measurements, superconducting quantum devices, quantum science, technical leadership, and Python.

Own and optimize PVD thin-film deposition processes for superconducting quantum processors. Monitor process health with SPC, analyze metrology and electrical data, lead root-cause investigations, qualify equipment/materials, document SOPs, and train technicians. Mentor engineers, set technical roadmap, and support cross-functional integration for scalable fabrication.

Lead end-to-end planning and execution of complex quantum systems programs. Build roadmaps, integration schedules, and manage dependencies across quantum device, cryogenics, control hardware/firmware, and software teams. Drive cross-functional alignment, identify and mitigate technical and schedule risks, facilitate data-driven decisions, and establish scalable program practices and reporting for research-driven R&D to deliver deployable quantum systems.

Lead mechanical architecture for quantum hardware across room temperature to millikelvin. Design cryogenic signal chains, mechanical interfaces, and thermal budgets. Perform thermal, mechanical, and vibration simulations; drive CAD, GD&T drawings, BOMs, prototyping, qualification, and manufacturing release. Integrate systems, lead bring-up, mentor junior engineers, and maintain PLM-controlled documentation.

Lead and grow a cross-functional software engineering team building platforms for quantum device design, fabrication workflows, characterization, and measurement. Drive engineering rigor, architecture, data platforms, streaming systems, and collaboration with hardware, fabrication, and research teams while remaining hands-on to support debugging and smaller technical initiatives.
