Quantum Error Correction Experiment Engineer

Role Overview

As a Quantum Error Correction Experiment Engineer, you will contribute to the implementation, execution, and analysis of quantum error correction experiments on superconducting quantum processors. This role combines experimental quantum computing, error modelling, and software development, offering the opportunity to work at the intersection of quantum hardware and software while contributing to key technical decisions that shape the future of our quantum computers.

What You Will Do

Implement, execute, analyse, and report results of quantum error correction benchmark and demonstration experiments on superconducting quantum processors. Develop features for the Quantum Computer Control Software stack in collaboration with quantum physicists and software engineers.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will have the opportunity to work with a passionate and diverse team on an important mission, make a real impact on the future of quantum, and grow and progress in a creative and open start-up environment.

Requirements

• Experience calibrating qubits and QPUs (superconducting preferred), beyond running gate-level workloads on cloud quantum computers
• Experience with quantum error correction experiments and data analysis, with familiarity with QEC literature
• Software engineering experience in Python, including environment management, testing, documentation, and version control
• Understanding of quantum information and QEC theory, including decoding algorithms and lattice-surgery-based approaches
• Experience with tools for modelling errors in quantum circuits or physical quantum hardware
• Familiarity with digital and analog features of quantum computer control hardware
• Experience working with large-scale quantum processor experiments or similarly complex experimental systems
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English
• Ability to make work reproducible and usable for others through well-structured code and documentation
• Ability and willingness to collaborate in a diverse, multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, and software developers

Benefits

• Opportunity to work with a passionate and diverse team
• Unique opportunity to make a real impact on the future of quantum
• Growth and progress in a creative and open start-up environment
