Senior Microarchitecture Researcher
IonQ, Bothell, Washington
The role
We are looking for a Microarchitecture (uArch) Researcher. As a uArch researcher, you will be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world's best quantum computers to solve the world's most complex problems.
In this role, you will contribute to the physical implementation, design and layout of fault-tolerant architectures in ion trap quantum processors. You will work on implementing, tailoring, simulating and designing large-scale chip architectures that support fault-tolerant quantum computation. Your work will directly contribute to the physical and logical architecture of the quantum chips of the future.
What you will do
Responsibilities
You will take quantum error correction protocols from theory to a physical layout on ion trap processors, and build the simulation tools that tell us how those layouts perform under realistic noise.
The work is deeply collaborative. You will work alongside trap designers, AMO physicists, QEC researchers and colleagues from a broad range of research backgrounds, and share your results through papers and other technical writing.
