## About the role

QuEra Computing is seeking a Quantum Scientist to develop system- and algorithm-level performance models for large-scale neutral-atom quantum computers. This role focuses on translating device- and architecture-level models into quantitative estimates of algorithmic fidelity, runtime, and time-to-solution for representative quantum workloads.

## What they're looking for

- Experience with benchmarking or performance modeling in quantum computing platforms (neutral atoms, ions, superconducting qubits, or similar)
- Experience developing or using abstracted error and performance models to evaluate system- and algorithm-level behavior
- Prior participation in federally funded research programs (e.g., DARPA, DOE) or large collaborative research efforts
- Track record of publications or technical contributions related to system-level performance analysis or benchmarking
