About the role

  • The position sits at the interface of quantum hardware and control systems, supporting both near-term experimental performance and the long-term development of control architectures for stable, fault-tolerant computing.
  • include advancing capabilities such as measurement-informed feedback control and machine learning-driven inference.
  • The approximate base salary range for this position is $110,000-$120,000.

Responsibilities

  • Design and prototype in-the-loop control mechanisms that adapt sequences based on measurement outcomes and system state.
  • Collaborate with physics, quantum error-correction, hardware, and control teams to validate new stack components using experimental data and system-level performance
  • Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate across physics, engineering, and software teams.

Requirements

  • Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a strong background in quantum computing or quantum physics.
  • Experience working with quantum computing platforms (neutral atoms, trapped ions, superconducting qubits, or similar).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to take technical ownership.
  • Proficiency with Git and modern collaborative development workflows.
  • Track record of publications or significant technical contributions in relevant areas.

Nice to have

  • Experience with quantum control stacks or real-time control systems.
  • Familiarity with fault-tolerant protocols, logical qubit architectures, or quantum error correction frameworks.
  • Experience with performance-sensitive, low-latency, or distributed systems.
  • Aware of advances in fault-tolerant quantum computing, in-the-loop control, and ML-driven control strategies.
  • We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience.
  • QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
