Zusammenfassung

QuEra Computing Inc. in Boston is seeking a Software Engineer to join the QPU SW Engineering team. You will develop software that orchestrates our quantum hardware stack—from real-time control of lasers and FPGAs to system-wide configuration, diagnostics, and feedback.

You will collaborate with physicists, systems architects, and hardware engineers to build tools and infrastructure that enable precise, reliable, and scalable quantum operations.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related field.
• 5+ years developing software for hardware control, embedded systems, or distributed systems.
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C/C++, and experience with hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).
• Experience with real-time systems or hardware-in-the-loop environments.
• Familiarity with timing systems (PTP) and communication stacks.
• Proficiency in system integration, testing, and performance tuning.

Aufgaben

• Design and implement software for orchestrating quantum experiments, including pulse sequence generation, device coordination, and real-time system control.
• Develop APIs and middleware that connect hardware control layers with higher-level orchestration software and compilers.
• Implement reliable communication protocols across embedded and distributed system components.
• Collaborate with system architects and physicists to translate experimental requirements into testable, high-performance software features.
• Contribute to diagnostic and calibration routines for hardware validation and performance monitoring.
• Develop tooling to support automation, test infrastructure, system state management, and logging.
• Participate in system bring-up, integration testing, and cross-disciplinary debugging efforts.
• Contribute to software architecture decisions, code reviews, and best practices across the engineering team.
