Postdoctoral Fellow - Applied Machine Learning in Quantum Systems

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.
