About the role
- This is a critical effort towards achieving programmability, reliability and peak performance of these machines for research, application development and commercial uses.
- Your work will directly shape how QuEra's quantum computers are characterized, stabilized, and improved over time, laying the foundation for scalable, self-calibrating quantum platforms.
- In this role, you will work closely with physicists, software engineers, hardware specialists and actual quantum computers across QuEra's global sites.
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in Python, including experience with data analysis and visualization libraries (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Matplotlib).
- Familiarity with optimization and regression techniques, both classical (e.g., least-squares, nonlinear fits) and statistical (e.g., Bayesian inference, parameter estimation).
- Comfort working in a hardware-facing environment, integrating software with lab instruments, data acquisition systems, or experimental control frameworks.
- Required
- Hands-on experience working with real experimental or measurement data, including noise handling, curve fitting, and model validation.
- Solid understanding of version control (Git) and structured software development practices (testing, modularity, documentation).
- Strong problem-solving ability, scientific curiosity, and a willingness to learn new physical systems quickly.
- Eager to grow from a capable engineer into a domain expert in quantum device
- Enjoys hands-on experimentation, iteration, and uncovering structure in data.
- Comfortable working across abstraction layers, from analyzing raw voltage traces to designing experiment-level calibration strategies.
- Collaborative and adaptable
- able to operate in an interdisciplinary environment spanning science, software, and hardware teams.
Nice to have
- Exposure to experimental physics or optics in a lab environment.
- Theory and practice of control systems.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker, or distributed analysis systems for scaling calibration and data pipelines.
- Knowledge of signal processing and time-series analysis for extracting trends or correlations in data.
- Proficiency in C or C++.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
- Experience or exposure to experimental research, data-driven system optimization, or hardware-software integration (through research, internships, or personal projects) is a strong plus.
- We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience.
Compensation
- The approximate base salary range for this position is $120,000 - $180,000.
