Jobs at D-Wave Systems

Design and optimize superconducting integrated circuits (Josephson junctions, SQUIDs, SFQ, QFPs, resonators, qubits); develop and improve EDA toolchains and device models; verify manufacturability; mitigate packaging, I/O, electronics, and cryogenic impacts; provide technical leadership and strategy; mentor engineers; debug complex issues and document designs across teams.

Perform experimental characterization, calibration, and noise analysis of superconducting quantum processors. Develop models, simulations, and analysis routines to fit data and detect outliers. Design parametric device improvements, assess environmental impacts (packaging, IO, cryogenics), document results, contribute to LISP software for processor modeling and operation, and collaborate across interdisciplinary teams.

Create and maintain customer-facing technical documentation (API references, user guides, hardware docs, code examples, release notes). Collaborate with software, hardware, support, product, and marketing teams; participate in product lifecycle; improve documentation processes, single-sourcing, and discoverability; use Git and Jira to track and resolve documentation issues.

Design and verify superconducting integrated circuits and layouts for quantum processors. Model device behavior, use/extend EDA toolchains, simulate electromagnetic and quantum effects, and collaborate cross-functionally to debug and document designs.

The Senior Business Analyst will lead cross-functional MRP, Supply Chain, and Finance system improvements, gather requirements, and support the implementation of scalable solutions.

Develop and maintain software for Processor Development, manage configuration tools, collaborate across teams, and mentor junior developers while improving software architecture.

Lead experimental characterization, calibration, and control of fluxonium qubits and gate-model processors. Investigate decoherence and noise, develop high-fidelity gates, benchmarking and error-mitigation strategies, diagnose scaling limits, collaborate on device design and cryogenic operation, and contribute to Lisp software infrastructure while mentoring and documenting results.

Lead planning, coordination, and delivery of complex research programs across quantum hardware, software, and AI/ML. Manage schedules, risks, resources, cross-functional alignment, external partnerships, program documentation, and stakeholder communications to drive progress and program health.

Lead research and development for hybrid quantum-classical algorithms and benchmarking. Design and run experiments to characterize QPU contributions, analyze performance, develop scalable benchmarking tools, and communicate findings to influence technical strategy and improve system scalability.

Conduct benchmarking and characterization research on quantum systems, implement and evaluate hybrid algorithms, expand benchmarking software pipelines, run experiments to quantify QPU contributions, analyze results, and communicate findings to internal and external stakeholders.

Lead the design and development of software for quantum machine learning methods. Collaborate with researchers and communicate findings. Oversee best practices in machine learning systems and influence product offerings.

The Lead Patent Specialist will draft and prosecute patents, collaborate with inventors, manage a diverse workload, and improve IP processes.
