Jobs at QuEra Computing

Lead cross-functional development of a low-latency control system for neutral-atom QPUs. Translate technical roadmaps into traceable requirements, define subsystem interfaces, manage testing and integration, coordinate timelines across theory and engineering teams, and convert R&D outputs into product specifications while communicating status and risks to stakeholders.

Lead design and development of optical modules for neutral-atom quantum computers. Architect optical systems with physicists, guide interdisciplinary teams from concept to production, advance engineering practices, coordinate R&D translation to products, and troubleshoot installations onsite and at customer locations.

Develop physics-based models of neutral-atom quantum computer subcomponents, validate models with experimental teams, define technical requirements and operating regimes, and collaborate with compiler, applications, and QEC teams to align low-level control with algorithmic and architectural needs.

Lead integration, testing, and operation of a next-generation neutral-atom quantum computer. Drive system integration, build operations for a commercial QPU service, enable software-stack integration, support customers, and provide on-call operational support.

Own product positioning and messaging for QuEra's quantum systems and services. Translate technical milestones into credible market narratives, enable sales with assets, drive competitive intelligence, support launches, and feed market insights into product strategy.

Develop AI-powered data infrastructure and automation for photonic integrated circuit design, fabrication, and testing. Build ingestion/cleaning tools and analysis pipelines to extract device performance metrics, correlate metrology with performance, define data schemas, and document reproducible workflows while collaborating with photonics engineers.

Own and operate the engineering operating cadence: plan and synchronize cross-functional work across software, hardware, QPU, and test infrastructure; maintain dependency and risk visibility; enforce Jira/Confluence/GitHub hygiene; coordinate releases and readiness gates; track decisions to closure; produce concise reporting; and drive continuous improvement without owning technical decisions or resources.

Lead the cross-functional development program for QuEra's next-generation quantum computing system, coordinating R&D, strategic partnerships, and product delivery.

The Optical Engineer will design, build, and test optical systems for neutral atom quantum computers, collaborating with senior engineers and physicists through all development stages.

Assist in the design and implementation of neutral-atom quantum computing systems, collaborating with teams to analyze data and contribute to experiments.

Design, architect, and troubleshoot optical systems for neutral-atom quantum computers across R&D to productization. Collaborate with physicists and R&D to translate science into manufacturable products, lead optical system design, perform simulations and CAD work, characterize and test systems, and support on-site customer installations.

The Principal Systems Engineer leads the integration of hardware and software in quantum computing systems, collaborating with scientists and refining system architecture and requirements in a fast-evolving R&D environment.

Design, architect, and deliver complex optical and opto-mechanical systems for neutral-atom quantum computers across R&D, productization, and maintenance. Collaborate with physicists and R&D, troubleshoot at headquarters and customer sites, advance engineering practices, and enable transition of scientific advances into manufacturable products.

Lead AI initiatives for quantum system operations: define roadmap, prioritize bounded-AI pilots for calibration and readout, ensure model validation, observability, safety gates, and cross-functional execution to reduce calibration time, failed jobs, and recovery time.

Lead research in quantum algorithms, focusing on developing novel techniques for quantum computing and collaborating on algorithm-hardware co-design.

The Optical Scientist will design and develop opto-mechanical systems, troubleshoot optical setups, and improve quantum computing technologies, collaborating across disciplines.

Develop and implement quantum error correction protocols and decoding algorithms, collaborating with academic and industry partners on a Rydberg atom quantum computer.

Lead product strategy and development for quantum computing services, managing requirements and project execution while ensuring product alignment with customer needs and technical specifications.

QuEra Computing invites inquiries for internship opportunities for master's or doctoral students. Candidates must have US work authorization.

Build and maintain backend services in Kotlin/Spring Boot, contribute to frontend UI with JavaScript/TypeScript (React/Vue), work with SQL/NoSQL databases, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and design RESTful APIs. Collaborate on cloud-native, event-driven architectures and developer tooling.
