What You'll Do

Midjourney is seeking physicists to develop revolutionary quantum hardware technologies.

What We're Looking For

Multiple years of experience working in experimental quantum physics (Ph.D.-level or similar)

Proficiency in the design, implementation, and troubleshooting of experiments

Hands-on experience with laser-based optical measurements

Ability to work on-site (up to five days/week) in the San Francisco Bay Area

Given the nature of the work, U.S. citizenship is required.

Useful Experience

Broad familiarity with quantum computing and/or sensing platforms

Track record of delivering cutting-edge systems that work outside the lab

Strong physical intuition about fundamental signal origins and noise sources

Hands-on experience with optics, optoelectronics, photodetectors, and optical fibers

Familiarity with next-generation photonic technologies

Experience inventing new tools and processes to address experimental challenges

Proficiency using the latest AI tools to accelerate workflow

Excellent data visualization and presentation skills
