Job Description

Fabrication Technician
(Palo Alto, California)

D-Wave is the leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems and software and is the world’s only commercial supplier of quantum computers. Our systems have solved important prototype problems in areas including optimization of financial portfolios and traffic flow, image and pattern recognition, and materials simulation, and are far more capable than any other quantum computer today. Our patent portfolio leads the industry. D-Wave has installed more than $50 million worth of quantum systems, and our customers include Lockheed Martin/USC Information Sciences Institute, Google/NASA/Universities Space Research Association, Los Alamos National Lab, Oak Ridge National Lab, and Volkswagen. Most customers access our quantum systems through the cloud.

Classical computers are reaching their limits and use enormous amounts of power, while the size of problems grows. Computers that harness quantum effects have the potential to solve many important problems faster and better than conventional computers, using orders of magnitude less power. We focus on customers who need solutions to computationally difficult problems in optimization, machine learning, artificial intelligence and materials science.

D-Wave is looking for exceptionally motivated people who love to see the impact of their work, who are driven to ensure the success of the company, and who want to be a part of something special. We are working to radically change what is possible with computers and are leading the effort to commercialize quantum computing.
