About this role
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 work with a vibrant scientific software team and help address challenges in quantum computing, including the development of hardware simulation tools and compiler co-design.
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
Requirements:
- 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
- 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
