Description
Senior Quantum Engineers (Sequencing) at Photonic are part of the Quantum Systems Integration team and are responsible for circuit sequencing : designing and implementing optimal strategies for executing hardware-agnostic quantum circuits on our high-performance architecture. Your expertise in scaled quantum computing platforms and the optimization of complex sequences are essential for the development of quantum computers that provide commercial value. Your work will bridge the gap between error-corrected circuits and hardware-specific circuits, influencing the hardware and software design of the computer and ultimately its overall performance.
You’ll work closely with high-performing teams of scientists, product engineers, and business units on a range of topics. You will enjoy the thrill of learning new technology and new science, while bringing your significant algorithm development knowledge, open mind, and creativity to tackle key challenges as we build the world’s first truly scalable quantum computing system.
Please include a cover letter with your resume (in one file) describing how you would be a great fit at Photonic and what attributes you could bring to our growing team.
