Job description

Summary
QuEra Computing Inc. seeks a creative and collaborative Scientific Software Engineer to help solve the unique software challenges of integrating high-level applications into state-of-the-art neutral-atom quantum computers. You will have the opportunity to work with a vibrant scientific software team and a community of industry and academic collaborators and to help our growing team of diverse experts address fascinating challenges, ranging from classical compiler techniques to direct integration with low-level hardware components.
Directly interacting with our compiler toolchain Kirin, you will be building QuEra's multi-level hardware simulation tools across compiler pipeline together with experimental & computational physicists. This involves the development of new features and infrastructure for simulating hardware execution. You will be co-designing compilers and hardware simulation infrastructure for the next generation of quantum computing using cutting-edge neutral-atom and quantum error correction technologies. This new direction involves multiple new challenges in both engineering and science.
Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain a multi-level hardware virtual machine that emulates QuEra's domain-specific language (DSL) for pulse-level programs and its associated compilation stack
  • Support integration into control stack
  • Collaborate with Quantum Error Correction (QEC) scientists and hardware control team to plan and simulate hardware features required for executing QEC algorithms
  • Collaborate with other members of the scientific software team to perform gate-level and atom-move hardware simulation

Qualifications
  • Masters in Computer Science with focus on quantum computation/architecture/programming language/compiler, or equivalent professional experience
  • Enthusiastic about building tools used by non-software developers
  • Experience with bytecode interpreters, CPython interpreter
  • Experience with modern C/C++ projects and tooling around those projects
  • Experience with hardware emulation and VM development, especially for novel/heterogeneous architectures
  • Experience with Static Single Assignment intermediate representations-based compiler
  • Knowledge of the full lifecycle of software development, including version control, code review, testing, CI/CD, logging, profiling, debugging, and documentation

Preferred Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in Computer Science with focus on quantum computation/architecture/programming language/compiler, or equivalent professional experience
  • Experience with compiled languages such as Rust, C++, Julia
  • Experience with FPGA programming
  • knowledge in quantum physics and AMO physics
  • knowledge in quantum error correction
  • Contribution to existing open-source libraries

The approximate base salary range for this position is $102,400 - $166,400.
We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience.
