About the role

The approximate base salary range for this position is $110,000-$120,000. 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.

What they're looking for

  • Develop and deploy machine learning models for high-fidelity quantum operation inference and control prediction
  • Design and prototype in-the-loop control mechanisms that adapt sequences based on measurement outcomes and system state
  • Collaborate with physics, quantum error-correction, hardware, and control teams to validate new stack components using experimental data and system-level performance
  • Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a strong background in quantum computing or quantum physics
  • Experience working with quantum computing platforms (neutral atoms, trapped ions, superconducting qubits, or similar)
  • Demonstrated experience working with Machine Learning for inference and hardware in loop
More about this role

Summary

This role focuses on developing computational methods for in-the-loop stabilization of neutral atom Logical Quantum Processing Units (LQPUs). The position sits at the interface of quantum hardware and control systems, supporting both near-term experimental performance and the long-term development of control architectures for stable, fault-tolerant computing.

The successful candidate will design and prototype state-of-the-art methods to enable reliable quantum operations and translate device measurements into actionable control feedback. Responsibilities include advancing capabilities such as measurement-informed feedback control and machine learning–driven inference.
