2026 Internship Project: Josephson Junction Yield & Data Systems

Rigetti Computing is developing cloud-deployable quantum computers to solve humanity’s most pressing and valuable problems. We are a highly diverse and interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers working at the cutting edge of technology in a mission-driven entrepreneurial environment. We believe that bringing teams from various cultures, educational backgrounds, and technical disciplines helps them to see things from more points of view and to make great products that change the world for the better. 

Josephson Junction (JJ) yield is a critical driver of chip selection and scalability for larger quantum systems. As we scale to higher qubit-count architectures, robust tracking of JJ targeting, spread, opens/shorts, and wafer-level yield is essential to ensure predictable performance and informed calibration decisions. As a Josephson Junction Yield & Data Systems Intern, you will work with the JJ process integration, E-beam lithography (EBL) module, and Internal Software (ISW) teams to establish a structured internal platform for JJ yield analytics. You will evaluate and improve existing internal tools for JJ yield tracking by designing and implementing dashboards for tracking JJ resistance targeting, wafer-level spread, and key SPC metrics. This tool should enable data-driven JJ size calibration inputs for future wafers. 

You will work in a fast-paced environment and interact with a range of engineers and scientists in process, integration and design. 

As engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. Our technology, meant to serve all of humanity, cannot succeed if those who built it do not mirror the diversity of the communities we serve. Applications from women, minorities, and other under-represented groups are encouraged.

Rigetti Computing is a pioneer in full-stack quantum computing. The company has operated quantum computers over the cloud since 2017 and serves global enterprise, government, and research clients through its Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services platform. The company’s proprietary quantum-classical infrastructure provides ultra-low latency integration with public and private clouds for high-performance practical quantum computing. Rigetti has developed the industry’s first multi-chip quantum processor for scalable quantum computing systems. The company designs and manufactures its chips in-house at Fab-1, the industry’s first dedicated and integrated quantum device manufacturing facility. Rigetti was founded in 2013 and today employs more than 150 people with offices in the United States, U.K., and Australia. Learn more at www.rigetti.com.
