Product Research Physicist (Neutral-Atom Quantum Computing)

Location: Remote role associated with Boston, MA, USA

Company

hirify.global develops hardware and software for hybrid control systems that operate and scale quantum computers.

What you will do

• Develop an end-to-end understanding of control requirements for neutral-atom platforms using optical tweezers and lattices across state preparation, gating, and readout.
• Characterize analog signal-chain and real-time control-flow requirements for neutral-atom experiments.
• Define scalable control approaches for systems ranging from a few qubits to large systems running quantum error correction.
• Translate physics insights into product requirements and reference architectures with hardware, firmware, and software teams.
• Validate solutions through modeling, simulation, experimental engagement, and benchmarking against neutral-atom control needs.
• Engage with customers, partners, and the neutral-atom research community to inform the product roadmap.

Requirements

• PhD in quantum physics or a closely related field.
• At least 3 years of experimental quantum physics and/or quantum computing experience.
• Track record of excellent scientific achievements.
• Excellent English communication and presentation skills required.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills, independence, discipline, and self-direction.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experimental experience with neutral-atom systems.

Culture & Benefits

• Remote work arrangement associated with the Boston, USA location.
• Collaboration across hardware, firmware, software, customer, partner, and research communities.
• Opportunity to contribute to quantum-computing control systems designed to scale to thousands of qubits.
