Job description

Overview

HPE Labs – Senior Software Engineer – Integrated HPC & Quantum Solutions. Hybrid role – 2 days per week in an HPE office. The HPE Quantum team develops new approaches for quantum computing integrated with HPC. Senior Software Engineer will develop and extend quantum circuit compilation, execution, resource estimation, and simulation capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and demonstrate software supporting quantum computing applications and HPC‑QC system management through job management, scheduling, compilation, and workflow frameworks.
• Create software adapters connecting quantum computing software tools (compilers, SDKs) with other tools using open standards where possible, and evaluate open‑source and commercial software for inclusion in integrated HPC‑QC environments.
• Develop functional and unit tests, support code quality with automated testing and continuous integration, and assist with code reviews.
• Implement and improve software prototypes to support research efforts, extending open source software as needed.
• Create mock‑up and test‑bed systems to demonstrate HPC‑QC software capabilities.
• Prepare internal and external demonstrations, create technical documentation, and write portions of research papers relating to software development efforts.
• Contribute to development of open specifications and standards to support interoperability in quantum computing.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 6 or more years of programming experience.
• Advanced programming skills in low‑level languages such as C, C++, or Rust, and in Python.
• Experience contributing to large software projects and creating new software efforts, including library API design.
• Experience creating or extending quantum computing tools (e.g., Qiskit, CUDA‑Q, TensorFlow Quantum, PennyLane).
• Strong understanding of quantum computing, including skills in understanding and optimizing circuits.
• Deep understanding of HPC architecture, GPU/CPU function and applicability, cluster design, job scheduling, workload optimization, and performance tuning and testing.
• Strong mathematical background with excellent skills in statistics, probability, and linear algebra.

Knowledge and Skills

• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills with an outcome‑focused mindset and bias for action and delivery.
• Focus on quality and customer results, with creative and analytical thinking abilities and a passion for solving complex problems.
• Strong consensus‑building skills, capable of conveying complex ideas clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Experience with Linux command line tools and familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
• Knowledge of quantum computing applications such as quantum chemistry, quantum simulation, quantum error correction (QEC), or combinatorial optimization.
• Experience with cloud computing platforms, GPU computing, AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), or compiler development (especially MLIR).
• Experience developing microservices client/server software.
• Track record of sharing findings with the broader scientific community through research papers, blogs, or other public materials.
