Midjourney is hiring a physicist to develop quantum hardware technologies: designing, building, and troubleshooting experimental quantum physics setups with laser-based optical measurements. The role is hands-on and on-site (up to five days/week) in the San Francisco Bay Area and requires U.S. citizenship.
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
