  • About the job

    As a Quantum Measurement Engineer, you will own the measurement of qubit devices for testing critical hardware components, such as wiring and classical electronics. You will work with stakeholders to design tests against requirements, execute qubit measurements on both small and large quantum processors, and clearly communicate results to stakeholders. Additionally, you will improve our measurement and calibration infrastructure both by giving timely feedback to developers, and through the software contributions.

    The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.
