QuEra Computing Scientific Software Engineer to develop QuEra's compiler pipeline for neutral-atom quantum computers. Responsible for building compiler infrastructure from low-level hardware instructions to high-level programming languages.

Responsibilities

Develop and help maintain QuEra's compiler pipeline from circuit level quantum programs to QuEra's Pulse level Intermediate representation using QuEra's Static Single Assignment based compiler infrastructure.
Design a novel domain specific language to program atom shuttling inside QuEra’s neutral atom quantum computers.
Implement and improve optimization methods relevant to shuttling workflows (e.g., routing/scheduling/planning heuristics, constraint-aware transformations, and cost-model-driven compilation decisions).
Develop on static analysis for both the quantum circuit and atom shuttle level languages
Communicate and collaborate with QuEra scientists and external customers to meet their use case requirements.
