About the role

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
