As Head of Qubit Control, reporting directly to the CTO, you will lead and grow a team of quantum physicists, from junior level to recognised experts, responsible for the performance of C12’s quantum operations. You will lead the expansion of the team that is expected to become one of the largest teams within the company. The team’s work focuses on the control and readout of 1- and 2-qubit gates on small- and large-scale chips, including optimisation of control and readout electronics, efficient exploration, tuning, and optimisation of large parameter spaces, and experimental investigation of the underlying physics. The quantum chips operate at low temperatures in cryostats hosted in our cryolab, equipped with state-of-the-art high-frequency microwave control electronics. Your role is to enable excellence in qubit control, measurement, and calibration by structuring execution, aligning priorities, and supporting technical decision-making, while relying on deep expertise within the team and working closely with leadership to deliver results aligned with the company’s R&D roadmap.
