Rigetti is seeking a motivated research intern to support superconducting qubit fabrication at Mevell NanoLab cleanroom at UC Berkeley. The intern will work closely with scientists and engineers on the design and fabrication of superconducting qubits, with an emphasis on scalable nanofabrication processes and device development. Fabricated devices will be measured and compared at Rigetti to inform process development.
\nThe intern will gain hands-on experience in the complete fabrication workflow for superconducting quantum circuits, including device layout, nanofabrication, microscopy, and process optimization. They will work alongside experienced researchers developing scalable fabrication technologies for quantum integrated circuits and contribute directly to advancing superconducting quantum hardware.
\nAs engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. Our technology, meant to serve all of humanity, cannot succeed if those who built it do not mirror the diversity of the communities we serve. Applications from women, minorities, and other under-represented groups are encouraged.

\nNice to Have:
\nRigetti is seeking a Lead Quantum Engineer for the Systems Performance team.
\nIn this position, you will play a critical role in shaping our technical roadmap, leading a cross-functional team focused on building the next generation of Rigetti's quantum hardware, and taking a high-ownership role in delivering the technologies required to unlock new levels of performance at scale.
\nYour daily work will involve proposing new ideas to push the performance and scalability of superconducting qubit systems, designing and executing experiments to test those ideas, and leading a diverse set of engineers and scientists to identify and mitigate key performance gaps.
\nThe right candidate will have a demonstrated track record of scientific success across multiple institutions, technical leadership experience, a high-ownership mentality, and strong organization and communication skills.
\nWe are looking for an experienced Quantum Engineer to drive the two-qubit gate performance of our tunable-coupler superconducting quantum processors.
\nTwo-qubit gate fidelity is one of the most consequential challenges in quantum computing, and it sits at the center of our roadmap toward error correction. In this role, you will design, execute, and interpret the experiments that propel our near- and long-term gate performance at scale. You will identify the dominant sources of two-qubit gate error on our processors, isolate their physical origin, and eliminate them , through pulse engineering, calibration methodology, error suppression strategies, or feedback to design and fabrication. Your conclusions will directly inform device design, control strategy, and platform-level decisions.
\nThis is a role with substantial autonomy and ownership. You will directly influence the technical direction for gate performance work through the rigorous design and execution of your test plans, measurement and improvement of relevant metrics and error budgeting, and shaping of research priorities. You will do this in a deeply collaborative environment spanning device design, fabrication, control systems, software, theory and R&D, turning proofs of concept into robust procedures that hold up across hundreds of qubit pairs.
