Employer job description
From QuEra Computing's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Summary
QuEra is building its next-generation quantum computer in Boston: the first fault-tolerant, universal quantum computer at a scale where commercially useful applications become possible. This is the scientific, technological and commercial frontier — and this Quantum Scientist role helps make it real.
You will join the Quantum Computing Services team early in this new machine’s life, learn QuEra’s technology platform and the specific system as it is brought up. Your focus will be calibration, benchmarking and modeling: developing and automating the processes that maintain the machine performance and building the models that explain and predict its behavior — turning a complex experimental apparatus into a well-understood, stable system.
Everything you do serves one ultimate goal: turning this machine into a quantum computing product, with dependable service, delivered both internally and externally.
Across the machine’s lifecycle you will be expected to:
Develop and automate calibration routines that keep the machine and its subsystems performing to spec, working with the hardware and software teams to implement them in the control stack.
Design and run benchmarking protocols that characterize system and subsystem performance and track it over time against product requirements.
