Riverlane’smission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry’s defining technical challenge, the but without QEC, the ...

Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast.

At Riverlane, we build new and advanced solutions to solve one of the hardest problems in quantum computing: quantum error correction (QEC). Our cutting-edge solutions must work seamlessly with varying customer requirements, in different environments and for multiple types of quantum computers. To ensure that we can achieve this effectively, we rigorously test our innovative software and hardware solutions and measure performance,identifying any integration issues early on.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a proven System Test Engineer to support the critical testing of Riverlane’sgroundbreaking products.

You will work alongside engineering teams throughout the entire feature development processof our products.

You’llidentifytest requirements for new features and design novel tests to ensure that the quality of our productremainshigh as these features are integrated. You will develop a deep systems level understanding of our products, whichyou’llbring to the fore when working with other engineers toidentifythe underlying causes of test failures.

In addition to developing novel tests,you’llensure that existing nightly testsremainreliable, diagnosing any regressions.

You’llalsoidentifyopportunities to implement new ways of working to improve the quality of our system test infrastructure and accelerate the quality assurance cycle.

We'recreating something truly unique,complex and large-scale, so being comfortable with engineering to evolving specs is key. As such, you will be happy and excited to get hands-on quickly in areas outside your own expertise. You will also thrive in a collaborative environment, work well with different people and beteam-oriented.

Prior quantum computing knowledge is not necessary - you will learn this along the way!
