Hands-on experience working with real experimental or measurement data, including noise handling, curve fitting, and model validation
Comfort working in a hardware-facing environment, integrating software with lab instruments, data acquisition systems, or experimental control frameworks
Operational knowledge of classical quantum simulation tools including state-vector, tensor-network, and stabilizer/tableau simulation methods
Familiarity with the principles and methods associated with quantum simulation, quantum machine learning, quantum optimization, quantum chemistry, and/or quantum information science
Solid understanding of version control (Git) and structured software development practices (testing, modularity, documentation)
Experience writing production-level code, which conforms to style and testing requirements
Strong problem-solving ability, scientific curiosity, and a willingness to learn new physical systems quickly
Eager to grow from a capable engineer into a domain expert in quantum computation with neutral-atoms
Enjoys hands-on experimentation, iteration, and data analysis
Comfortable working across abstraction layers, from analyzing raw voltage traces to designing implementable quantum programs
Strong communication skills to convey complex topics to mostly-technical audiences from varying academic fields and industry sectors
Collaborative and adaptable; able to operate in an interdisciplinary environment spanning theory, software, and hardware teams
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field
Candidates with diverse or nontraditional backgrounds who demonstrate strong programming and analytical skills are encouraged to apply
Experience or exposure to experimental research, data-driven system optimization, or hardware-software integration (through research, internships, or personal projects) is a strong plus
Preferred
Experience developing efficient benchmarks of noisy quantum hardware, with exposure to concepts in quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV)
Proven demonstration of expertise in the areas of quantum applications, quantum error correction or quantum information science, by way of co-authored publications and presentations
History of creating clear and concise tutorials and examples about, e.g. quantum SKDs, hardware operation, experimental demonstrations, etc
Exposure to compiler frameworks within the context of quantum program implementation
Familiarity with running processes in Kubernetes and/or Docker for robust quantum hardware operation
Proficiency in C, C++, or rust
