Quantum Measurement Engineer – QPU Diagnostics & Calibration

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Quantum Measurement and Calibration Engineer to drive experimental characterization, diagnostic protocol development, and performance optimization of next‑generation quantum processors.

Key responsibilities

• Advanced measurement protocols: create and refine protocols to improve gate and readout fidelities and develop diagnostics tooling to identify performance bottlenecks.
• Design and execution of experiments: validate, compare, and benchmark new design elements and layout optimisations such as coupling schemes and crosstalk mitigations.
• Data‑driven feedback: analyse measurement datasets, report findings clearly, and lead discussions to translate learnings into device design upgrades.
• Ownership of measurement campaigns from hypothesis and experiment design through cooldown, data acquisition, analysis, and final reporting.

Required profile

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in cryogenic measurement of multi‑qubit superconducting quantum processors.
• Extensive experience diagnosing performance‑limiting mechanisms in superconducting quantum processors.
• Deep understanding of circuit QED, superconducting device behaviour and signal‑integrity challenges.
• Proficiency in Python and data analysis for quantum experiments.
• Proactive, detail‑oriented mindset with a strong drive to scale quantum technology.

Required skills

• Python
• Data analysis

What we offer

• Competitive salary with 8% holiday allowance.
• Generous pension plan covering partners and dependents.
• Hybrid work flexibility focused on outcomes.
• Personal growth budget for learning and development.
• Team events, off‑sites and a collaborative culture.
