Scientific Software Engineer - Hardware Compilation
QuEra Computing, Inc.Boston, Massachusetts, United States · Posted 6 months agoDescription
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.
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
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
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
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. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.
