## Description

As a Senior Quantum Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development and execution of experiments focused on silicon-based quantum computing systems. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an employee at a scale-up shaping the future of quantum computing.

You will be part of the Quantum Hardware Team that specialises in designing, validating and operating quantum processors based on silicon industrial technology. More particularly, as part of the large-scale characterisation team, you would focus on developing and deploying techniques to characterise and validate our qubits and supporting technologies at scale. This is an exciting opportunity that heavily collaborates with other teams such as device modelling, QPU architecture and device design., Your core responsibility lies in driving the high-throughput characterisation and benchmarking of our quantum hardware, generating critical datasets that feed into our device modelling, design, fabrication, and architecture:

 * Evaluate and characterise quantum devices and processors at scale.
 * Establish new techniques to characterise the properties and performance of quantum dots, qubits and processor nodes.
 * Work with intelligent automation experts to develop routines that extract these parameters and performance metrics at scale. Analyse measurement datasets to provide insights to device modelling, design, fabrication, and architecture teams.
