Jobs at QuEra Computing

Develop and automate calibration routines, benchmarking protocols, and predictive models for QuEra’s quantum computing systems. The role characterizes machine performance, models physical error mechanisms and full-system behavior, collaborates across hardware, software, and applications teams, and supports the transition of experimental quantum hardware into a reliable commercial computing service.

Senior Accountant overseeing accounting operations, global payroll, financial reporting, compliance, audits, tax activities, internal controls, budgeting, forecasting, and grant-related financial responsibilities. The role manages accounting systems, supports US GAAP and IFRS compliance, coordinates regulatory reporting, mentors the finance team, and partners with the Controller and leadership on financial strategy and operations.

Design, build, and characterize neutral-atom quantum computing systems; collaborate with multidisciplinary teams; investigate noise and decoherence; analyze experimental data; propose system improvements and stay current with AMO physics advances.

Lead integration, maintenance, and automation of heterogeneous hardware and software control systems for quantum computers. Manage networked lab infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and provisioning. Support incident response, testing, and orchestration, collaborating with software, hardware, and test teams to ensure reliability and operational readiness of development and production environments.

Lead QuEra’s New Mexico quantum applications research group, set its agenda, hire and mentor scientists, and develop practical applications spanning quantum simulation, quantum machine learning, cryptanalysis, and fault-tolerant quantum computing. The role involves mapping algorithms to neutral-atom hardware, benchmarking performance, collaborating with national laboratories and universities, publishing research, engaging federal programs, and securing DOE, DARPA, IARPA, NSF, and related funding.

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.

Design, build, and operate die- and wafer-level photonic testbeds; develop Python automation for instrument control and data pipelines; run high-throughput test campaigns; define verification specs with design and foundry partners; produce test reports, yield analyses, and mentor colleagues to close the design-fab-test loop for quantum photonic chips.

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.

Hands-on mechanical engineer responsible for CAD design (Autodesk Inventor), documentation, prototyping, assembly, installation, troubleshooting, and supplier coordination for quantum computing hardware in Japan. Supports reliability, supplier qualification, incoming inspection, ECOs, and cross-functional collaboration with US teams.

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.

Lead a team of researchers to develop algorithms for neutral atom quantum hardware, collaborate with sales on projects, and engage with the quantum ecosystem.
