Principal Scientific Software Engineer - Quantum Error Correction

Job description

Summary QuEra Computing Inc. seeks a Principal Scientific Software Engineer to lead the development of QuEra's quantum error correction (QEC) software stack. In this role, you will define the technical direction for circuit-level QEC compilation, mentor and lead a team of engineers, and drive the architecture of our error-corrected quantum compiler pipeline built on Kirin — QuEra's in-house SSA-based compiler infrastructure featuring an MLIR-inspired dialect design with multi-stage programming capabilities. You will work at the boundary between high-level error-corrected circuit representations and lower-level compilation stages such as atom shuttling and pulse programming, collaborating closely with hardware, theory, and systems teams to deliver a production-quality QEC software stack for neutral-atom quantum processors. Responsibilities: - Lead the design and development of QuEra's quantum error correction (QEC) software stack, spanning from logical circuit descriptions through syndrome extraction, decoding, and physical operation scheduling. - Define the software architecture for circuit-level QEC compilation, including code selection, magic state generation scheduling, logical...
