Working in Research means joining a team that accelerates discovery at the intersection of high-performance computing, AI, quantum, and cloud. You’ll collaborate with leading scientists, engineers, and visionaries to push boundaries and turn ideas into reality. With a culture built on curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, IBM Research offers the opportunity to grow your career while contributing to breakthroughs that transform industries and change the world. A successful candidate will lead a frequency control effort for multi-qubit processors based on superconducting qubits. The candidate is expected to independently drive cross-functional learning across multiple groups to understand and define metrics for Josephson junction tunability in the context of quantum gates, and will coordinate experiments at both elevated and cryogenic temperatures. The candidate is expected to disseminate results through impactful patents and represent IBM in professional meetings and societies.
