Scientific Software Engineer - Hardware Compilation

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. Using our open-source toolchain, Kirin, you will be building QuEra’s compiler pipeline together with experimental computational physicists from low-level hardware instructions to high-level programming languages. This involves the development of new features and infrastructure for hardware execution. You will be co-designing compilers and hardware 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. This Japan-based role also includes maintenance and updates of the internal execution software pipeline for the Gemini class machine deployed at AIST (ABCIQ). The primary audience for these tools and workflows is internal researchers and experimentalists , and the work is closely connected to hardware/control electronics and lab execution needs. Responsibilities Develop and maintain domain-specific language (DSL) for pulse-level programs and its associated compilation stack Support integration of pulse compilation into multiple quantum computer builds Collaborate with Quantum Error Correction (QEC) scientists and hardware control team to plan and develop hardware features required for executing QEC algorithms Collaborate with other members of the scientific software team to integrate gate-level and atom-move compilation Maintain and update the internal execution software pipeline for the Gemini class machine deployed in AIST (ABCIQ), ensuring compatibility with evolving hardware/control capabilities and internal research workflows 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 Python semantics, Python type hints, CPython interpreter Experience with modern C++ projects and tooling around those projects 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 Business-level proficiency in Japanese and English (spoken and written) for technical collaboration with Japan-based stakeholders and QuEra’s global teams Preferred Qualifications Ph.D. in Computer Science with focus on quantum computation/architecture/programming language/compiler, or equivalent professional experience Experience with FPGA programming knowledge in quantum physics and AMO physics Experience in programming language design, especially programming language theory knowledge in quantum error correction Contribution to existing open-source libraries QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
