Summary QuEra is building the software stack for neutral-atom quantum computers, spanning four abstraction levels — logical, physical, atom shuttling, and pulse — each with its own compiler dialect and execution environment. The core language and compiler architecture are still taking shape, and the decisions made now will determine whether the stack is a joy or a burden to program against. The Role You'll represent the developer's perspective while language semantics, API surfaces, and compiler architecture are still being decided — before those decisions harden. Your users: application scientists building on our stack, who need tight iteration loops, and the broader quantum research community using Bloqade, our open-source SDK, whose first impressions shape whether QuEra becomes the platform serious developers reach for. You'll work closely with the compiler team building on Kirin, our shared IR infrastructure (Rust), and across the Python SDK layers built on top of it. Responsibilities Shape foundation decisions : Bring a DX perspective into language design, IR architecture, and API reviews, pushing back when choices would make the stack hard to use. Prototype early : Build early error messages, visualizations, and workflow sketches — not to ship, but to stress-test API decisions while they're still changeable. Help define the error model : Contribute to a coherent contract for how errors are represented, surfaced, and attributed across compiler passes, from the circuit-level API down. Visualization : Contribute to circuit diagrams, error syndrome plots, and result analysis tooling as APIs stabilize. Developer workflow : Improve the path from Bloqade program to emulation output to hardware job — CLI, error messages, actionable feedback. Standard libraries : Help decide what gets promoted from internal example to first-class primitive, and write the first ones. Qualifications Experience building developer-facing tooling: compiler frontends, LSP servers, linters, SDK APIs, or notebook tooling. Comfortable reading and writing both Rust (Kirin, execution layer) and Python (user-facing SDK). No compiler background required, but willing to work in the IR layer. Strong opinions on what "good" errors look like, and interest in improving them before they ship. Interest in influencing platform or language design, not just building on top of it. Comfortable prototyping against unstable APIs and feeding signal back into design. Willing to grow into compiler engineering — you'll work closely with an SSA-based compiler stack. Note on level : We're hiring across levels. More senior candidates drive multi-quarter arcs from problem to design to adoption across teams; more junior candidates focus on well-scoped pieces with more guidance. Preferred Qualifications Visualization experience in technical domains (signal processing, compiler IR, timing diagrams). Familiarity with Python packaging and the scientific Python ecosystem. Prior open-source work with an external user community. Exposure to DSL design or compiler ergonomics. The approximate base salary range for this position is $102,400 - $166,400. We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires. QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law. #LI-NB1

Quantum Systems Accelerator

Summary We are seeking a Principal Systems Engineer to play a critical role in aligning engineering execution with scientific and machine-level progress in the development of large-scale quantum computers. This role sits at the intersection of quantum science, hardware engineering, and control software , with a primary mission to make the system coherent, buildable, and integrable as it evolves. Unlike traditional product environments, many system requirements in quantum computing are discovered through experimentation , not defined upfront. Success in this role requires deep collaboration with scientists, rapid learning, and the ability to introduce structure only where it accelerates progress . The ideal candidate brings extensive experience building complex hardware–software systems (e.g., aerospace, EVs, robotics, advanced instrumentation) and is motivated to apply systems engineering rigor in a learning-driven R&D environment , pairing closely with internal quantum experts. This is a technical leadership role with broad influence across teams. Authority comes from clarity, usefulness, and trust — not from gatekeeping or heavy process. Core Mission Bridge the gap between engineering tasks and quantum machine milestones Make system architecture, integration status, and technical risk visible and actionable Enable scientists and engineers to move faster together by reducing ambiguity, friction, and rework Help the organization evolve from ad-hoc integration to disciplined, scalable system development — without slowing discovery Responsibilities 1. System Understanding Through Scientific Partnership Work closely and continuously with quantum scientists to understand how the machine is actually operated, tuned, and debugged in practice. Spend significant time in the lab, observing experiments and participating in scientific discussions to absorb tacit system knowledge. Treat scientists as primary system knowledge holders , approaching requirement gathering as a learning and synthesis exercise. Build trust by accurately reflecting scientific intent and constraints in system models, requirements, and architectural decisions. 2. Requirements Co-Evolution & Traceability Facilitate the co-evolution of system requirements as the machine progresses: Start with lightweight, provisional requirements Explicitly document uncertainty, assumptions, and open questions Refine requirements as experimental results and understanding improve Translate scientific goals (e.g., performance, stability, operability) into actionable engineering requirements while preserving necessary flexibility. Establish traceability between: machine-level goals subsystem requirements engineering deliverables (e.g., JIRA epics) Ensure engineers understand the intent behind requirements, not just the wording. 3. System Architecture & Integration Leadership Develop and maintain a living system architecture covering: quantum hardware control electronics and firmware control software and orchestration layers Produce clear, accessible architecture diagrams that reflect reality and evolve with the system. Identify missing architectural elements, poorly defined interfaces, and integration risks early. Lead system-level trade studies and technical decision-making in partnership with engineering and scientific leaders. Ensure architecture reflects machine milestones and not just organizational boundaries. 4. Integration, Test Strategy, and Machine Protection Define and drive a system integration and test strategy appropriate for an evolving R&D machine. Help ensure engineering testbeds match machine configurations as closely as possible. Push integration testing upstream so that machines are not used as primary test platforms. Partner with engineering teams to define validation criteria tied to real machine behavior. Reduce burden on lab teams by improving pre-deployment testing and integration readiness. 5. Early Wins & Trust Building Deliver small, tangible improvements early that directly reduce friction for scientists and engineers, such as: clarifying a recurring interface problem creating a simple integration checklist documenting a failure mode that saves days of debugging Use these wins to establish credibility and reinforce the value of systems engineering. Continuously gather feedback on what is helping vs. slowing teams down, and adapt approach accordingly. 6. Unlearning, Adaptation, and Process Design Actively identify where traditional systems engineering assumptions do not apply to quantum computing. Unlearn rigid models around fixed requirements, early design freezes, and linear development. Introduce process and structure incrementally , calibrated to system maturity. Champion systems thinking without dogma — prioritizing outcomes over formality. 7. Technical Leadership & Mentorship Serve as a technical leader and mentor for engineers and emerging systems thinkers. Help scale system knowledge through documentation, diagrams, and internal education. Contribute to leadership discussions on technical strategy, integration risk, and execution pacing. Qualifications 10+ years of experience in systems engineering or system architecture for complex hardware–software systems. Proven experience integrating multidisciplinary systems (hardware, software, controls). Strong background in requirements definition, interface management, and system integration. Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-evolving R&D environments. Exceptional communication and collaboration skills. Preferred Qualifications Experience in aerospace, automotive, robotics, advanced instrumentation, or similar domains. Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) concepts or tools. Experience working closely with research or experimental teams. Exposure to quantum technologies is a plus, but not required . Personal Attributes We Value Intellectual humility and curiosity Comfort learning from domain experts Bias toward clarity and usefulness Strong listening skills Pragmatic, outcome-driven mindset Why This Role Matters You will help build a machine that has never existed before — not by enforcing process, but by making the system understandable, integrable, and scalable. This role is foundational to turning scientific breakthroughs into reliable quantum computers. QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
