QuEra Computing Inc. · Boston, MA · 3 days ago
On-siteEngineering$110k–$120k/yrFull-time
Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy machine learning models for high-fidelity quantum operation inference and control prediction.
- 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.
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).
- Demonstrated experience working with Machine Learning for inference and hardware in loop.
- Strong programming skills in Python, C++, or similar languages.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to take technical ownership.
- Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate across physics, engineering, and software teams.
- Proficiency with Git and modern collaborative development workflows.
- Track record of publications or significant technical contributions in relevant areas.
Qualifications
- 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.
- Awareness of advances in fault-tolerant quantum computing, in-the-loop control, and ML-driven control strategies.
