From the original posting

Role Overview As a Systems Integration Engineer on the Deployments team, you will be at the operational frontier of Rigetti's external quantum systems work — bringing processors to life at customer sites and ensuring they perform to specification in production. You will be among the first people to deploy a Rigetti system in a new environment, owning the technical work from initial bring-up through sustained cloud operation. While this role is primarily based in the UK, it requires travel to customer sites globally to support deployment of Rigetti quantum systems. You will serve as a direct technical representative of the team, working alongside on-site personnel and translating complex experimental results into clear operational guidance for both specialist and non-specialist audiences. When not engaged with on-site deployments, you will collaborate closely with internal R&D teams to drive critical improvements to device performance and scalability. This role has two specialization tracks. Candidates will be assessed for fit across both and placed based on experience: Systems & Integration — focused on device bring-up, cryogenic hardware, qubit and fridge characterisation, and cross-functional debug from cryo to deployment. Gate Calibration & Deployment — focused on 1Q/2Q gate performance, automated recalibration, production monitoring, and cloud deployment workflows.   Travel Requirements: This position requires regular travel, with an expectation of approximately 30–50% travel to customer sites.
