Infleqtion – Staff Quantum Physicist

Infleqtion is a deep‑tech startup focused on commercializing atom‑based quantum technologies. We embrace a results‑driven, fast‑paced, customer‑focused approach to innovation and seek energetic, self‑motivated individuals with exceptional problem‑solving and technical skills to advance our Quantum Computing mission.

The responsibilities below represent the core scope of the role and may evolve based on business and program needs. This is a hands‑on technical leadership role. Staff Quantum Physicists remain deeply engaged in system development and operation while providing technical direction, developing team members, and managing a small team. Depending on program needs, a Staff Quantum Physicist may lead the development of a hardware system or provide technical leadership across multiple teams.

• Lead the design, integration, calibration, operation, and improvement of neutral‑atom quantum computing systems and critical subsystems.
• Translate program goals into technical requirements, experimental plans, performance targets, and technical direction across quantum processor design, Rydberg excitation, gate protocols, laser systems, calibration, and system integration.
• Design and analyze experiments and physics‑based models to improve gate fidelity, stability, availability, and processor performance; guide architecture and engineering tradeoffs.
• Own critical systems through validation, troubleshooting, performance tuning, reliability improvement, and documentation; translate complex R&D objectives into prioritized work and drive cross‑functional delivery.
• Develop Python‑based tools in Linux environments for experiment control, data analysis, calibration, automation, and operational support.
• Review technical work and uphold team standards and best practices.
• Manage up to six direct reports, including expectations, performance, coaching, and career development.
• Contribute to hiring, proposals, intellectual property, technical roadmaps, and external technical discussions.

• PhD in atomic, optical, AMO, quantum physics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience; typically 5+ years of relevant post‑PhD experience or comparable experience leading complex quantum, atomic, optical, or precision‑measurement systems.
• Deep hands‑on experience designing, operating, or improving complex AMO or coherent‑control experiments, with strong knowledge of atom‑light interactions and technologies such as lasers, optical systems, acousto‑optic or electro‑optic modulators, RF instrumentation, and ultra‑high‑vacuum systems.
• Proficiency with Python for experiment control, data analysis, automation or hardware integration, plus working knowledge of Linux, command‑line tools, and version control.
• Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous technical goals into executable plans and validated outcomes, lead system‑level work across disciplines, and communicate effectively with specialist and non‑specialist audiences.

• Experience with neutral‑atom quantum computing, Rydberg physics, optical tweezers arrays, quantum‑gate characterization and optimization, or related processor architectures; familiarity with physical error mechanisms and quantum‑error‑correction requirements.
• Experience with advanced laser and optical systems, including short‑wavelength lasers, beam delivery and shaping, optical projection, high‑NA imaging, noise mitigation, feedback control, and subsystem stabilization.
• Experience integrating optical, electronic, vacuum, control, and software subsystems into complex experimental platforms.
• Demonstrated technical leadership through mentoring, cross‑team coordination, and delivery of complex technical programs; experience contributing to proposals, patents, roadmaps, customer discussions, or government‑funded R&D.
