Quantum Engineer (Spin)

About the role

Conductor Quantum is building quantum superintelligence.

Quantum superintelligence is an AI that uses quantum computers to surpass the capabilities of humanity's greatest minds. We are closer to that inflection point than most people realize. Frontier models are approaching general intelligence, and AI can already generate quantum circuits faster than humans can write them. The question is no longer whether quantum and AI converge; it is who builds the infrastructure to make that convergence reliable, scalable, and useful.

That infrastructure starts with the hardware. The biggest bottleneck in quantum computing today is not qubit count; it is the manual configuration that keeps those qubits from being usable. Our software automates calibration and operations across qubit platforms, turning raw hardware into a stable, ready-to-run platform accessible through a simple chat interface. By solving that bottleneck, we are enabling thousands, and eventually billions, of qubits to operate at scale.

The result is a quantum computer as easy to use as ChatGPT. The first billion users are coming. The majority, we believe, will be AI agents.

Why now

Today, AI generates production code faster and more reliably than most of the world's software engineers. Code is math; math is an instruction set; an instruction set is a quantum circuit. AI is already generating quantum circuits. It just needs reliable hardware to run them on, well-calibrated qubits to use, and a feedback loop tight enough to discover new algorithms autonomously.

The world's most capable AI models are being pointed at B2B SaaS. We are pointing ours at the frontier of science.

Role overview

You will work across the full quantum stack: from taking a chip fresh out of the foundry, all the way to hosting it online as a platform that human researchers and AI agents can build on. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role. You will define best practices, influence product strategy, and help lay the foundation for Conductor Quantum's culture and growth.

Key responsibilities

Device bring-up and measurement infrastructure

Take quantum dot devices from the lab bench to operational readiness. Perform wire bonding, device packaging, and chip mounting for cryogenic testing, and design custom printed circuit boards for signal routing and filtering. Build and maintain cryogenic measurement setups including dilution refrigerators, fridge wiring, and line testing. Specify, install, and test low-noise amplifiers, DC lines, filters, bias tees, and microwave components, and develop robust procedures for cooldowns and thermal cycling.

Device tuning and characterization

Take devices from cooldown to working spin qubits. Run transport, radio-frequency reflectometry, and charge sensing measurements to identify quantum dot formation, tune gate voltages, and extract stability diagrams. Know whether the limit you are hitting is charge noise, tunnel coupling, or the readout chain.
