Original job description

About the role

We are looking for a creative, energetic, and self-motivated Experimental Physicist to join our Processor Development (PD) team. The PD team is composed of experienced and talented superconducting circuit designers, fabrication engineers, software developers and physicists who work together to create the processors at the heart of our quantum computer and are constantly pushing the boundaries of the technology of the future.

In this challenging and exciting position, you will work with a multi-disciplinary team and regularly communicate and collaborate with other processor development scientists, device designers, engineers, cryogenic experts and applications developers.

You will work in one or more of the following areas:

Characterizing and calibrating our superconducting quantum processors
Modeling, assessing and improving real-world performance of our quantum processors
Parametric design of novel devices and/or device enhancements to improve processor performance or enable new capabilities
Assessing and understanding the impact of the processor’s environment, including packaging, IO, electronics and cryogenic elements, and developing models and approaches to improve it

What you'll do

Develop and execute experimental procedures to quantify, understand, and operate a wide range of superconducting devices
Come up with new ideas to improve processor operation or performance and develop parametric designs to implement them
Develop theoretical models and simulations to represent and understand experimental results on physical devices
Develop analysis routines to fit theoretical models to data and to detect outlier behavior in large complex systems of superconducting devices
Regularly and clearly document experimental results for the broader processor development team
Create and contribute to LISP software infrastructure for modeling, calibrating and operating processors
Communicate and collaborate with other internal teams at D-Wave including marketing, intellectual property, applications development and engineering

Required

Ph.D. or M.Sc. in physics or a related discipline, or equivalent experimental research experience
Strong critical thinking and technical problem-solving skills
Skill in independent research and evidence of deep understanding in your area of expertise
An ability to come up to speed in new technical topics quickly and effectively
Strong software development experience related to experimental design and automation, data acquisition, and data analysis; and a willingness to learn new programming languages and software concepts as needed
A collaborative mindset and a demonstrated ability to work effectively on an interdisciplinary team, on a wide variety of problems
Excellent communication skills and experience with summarizing experimental results for a broad audience
Ability to adapt to shifting priorities in a time-sensitive environment
Exceptional candidates will have a solid background in one or more of the following: quantum information, digital or analog superconducting devices, device physics, noise models and characterization
