Jobs at QuEra Computing

Mechanical Engineer responsible for preparing manufacturing documentation, updating designs and drawings, conducting DFM/DFA reviews, managing CAD and PLM data, maintaining BOMs and procedures, and coordinating with suppliers and contract manufacturers. The role supports new product introductions for mechanical, electromechanical, and optomechanical systems, troubleshoots production issues, and designs modules as needed.

QuEra Computing invites candidates who visited its 2026 NES Optica Optics and Photonics Fall Career Fair booth to submit profiles for future consideration for permanent and internship opportunities.

Designs and maintains CI/CD pipelines and automation for embedded software and applications. Automates build, testing, deployment, infrastructure provisioning, and firmware delivery across cloud and on-premises environments. Optimizes Docker and Kubernetes systems, monitors reliability, and supports hybrid embedded hardware and real-time control systems. Collaborates with software developers, hardware teams, and physicists to integrate updates and troubleshoot complex, multilayered systems involving networking, logging, alerting, and application tracing.

Provides frontline, on-site IT support for hardware, software, networking, mobile devices, printers, Zoom Rooms, and office AV systems. Manages user accounts, permissions, onboarding, and offboarding across organizational tools. Troubleshoots and documents incidents, supports LAN/Wi-Fi infrastructure, educates users, escalates complex issues, and assists with hardware rollouts, software updates, and other IT initiatives.

Develop software that orchestrates and controls quantum hardware, including pulse sequencing, device coordination, real-time control, APIs, middleware, diagnostics, calibration, automation, testing, and system integration. Collaborate with physicists, architects, and hardware engineers to build reliable, high-performance quantum operation systems.

Build and deploy internal AI tools, LLM applications, and agentic systems from concept through production. Establish reusable engineering patterns, optimize models for cost, latency, and reliability, and create shared infrastructure. Partner with technical teams to deliver practical tools, mentor teammates, and drive autonomous end-to-end execution with strong testing, documentation, evaluation, and operational practices.

Manage, scale, secure, and optimize Kubernetes clusters across on-premises and cloud environments. Build automation and infrastructure-as-code workflows, maintain observability and CI/CD integrations, troubleshoot complex systems, and improve performance, availability, and disaster recovery. The role also requires cluster security, networking, documentation, and mentoring, with preferred experience in service mesh, GitOps, policy enforcement, hybrid infrastructure, and specialized R&D environments.

Senior Accountant overseeing accounting operations, global payroll, financial reporting, compliance, audits, tax activities, internal controls, budgeting, forecasting, and regulatory reporting. The role requires strong US GAAP, IFRS, SEC reporting, treasury, ERP, procurement, multi-currency accounting, and grant-finance expertise. This position supports the Controller, leads finance processes, manages teams, and provides financial guidance to company leadership.

Administer and improve hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructure across Windows, Linux, networking, identity, security, and endpoint environments. Troubleshoot advanced routing and connectivity, manage NAC and IAM, automate provisioning and infrastructure changes, remediate vulnerabilities, support compliance audits, resolve complex escalations, and maintain documentation. Collaborate with business teams to improve IT processes, tooling, reliability, security, and end-user experience.

Build and maintain quantum computer management systems, controls infrastructure, and calibration services. Own mission-critical software, collaborate with physicists and hardware engineers, and develop scalable, efficient systems. Responsibilities include debugging, troubleshooting, designing cloud-native microservices and event-driven architectures, working with scientific instrument data, and supporting system performance and operations.

Lead QuEra’s developer relations efforts for neutral-atom quantum software. Manage the open-source community, create code examples and technical documentation, run conferences and educational programs, and bring structured user feedback to engineering and product teams. The role requires Python development, quantum computing knowledge, technical writing, codebase debugging, GitHub collaboration, and the ability to explain evolving software and hardware workflows to researchers and advanced developers.

Lead integration, maintenance, and testing of heterogeneous hardware and software control systems for quantum computers. Manage infrastructure (HIL, containerized services, network hardware), automate provisioning/orchestration, integrate DevOps/CI-CD pipelines, implement monitoring/alerting, enforce access and lab best practices, and support incident response and root cause analysis.

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 photonic and optoelectronic component tapeouts and build AI-driven development pipelines for quantum computing hardware. Responsibilities span device design, simulation, layout, testing, system experiments, foundry collaboration, PDK integration, and automation of engineering workflows. The role partners with multidisciplinary engineering and quantum science teams to accelerate photonic chip development and integrate components into fault-tolerant neutral-atom quantum systems.

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

QuEra Computing offers internships for students enrolled in academic programs related to physics, engineering, or computer science. Candidates must be able to work in Japan and receive no relocation support.
