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.
