Job summary

QuEra Computing Inc. seeks a Scientific Software Engineer to develop tools for modeling neutral-atom quantum processors. You will bridge AMO theory, scientific computing, and quantum software, building simulation and analysis tools for noise, decoherence, and control validation.

The role emphasizes translating research-grade models into reliable, scalable software for scientists and engineers, collaborating with physicists and engineers to create reusable components and robust workflows.

Qualifications

Advanced degree or equivalent experience in physics, math, CS, or engineering.
Strong background in quantum dynamics, AMO physics or quantum information.
Experience simulating open quantum systems and driven-dissipative dynamics.
Proficient in Python, Julia, C++, or Rust for scientific computing.
Familiar with numerical linear algebra and HPC techniques.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain scientific software to simulate neutral-atom quantum systems.
Implement numerical methods for quantum dynamics and open systems (Lindblad, trajectories, Krylov, Chebyshev).
Build production-grade tools modeling Rydberg interactions, motion, and decoherence effects.
Collaborate with physicists and engineers to create reusable software components.
Design workflows for benchmarking, calibration analysis, and performance modeling.
Optimize codes for accuracy and usability across system sizes.
Contribute to APIs, docs, tests, and validation suites.
Contribute parts to QuEra's virtualization platform to emulate hardware with AMO-informed noise.
