Quantum Calibration Engineer, Quantum Computing Services

The role

QuEra is seeking Quantum Calibration Engineers to join a growing effort focused on developing, testing and deploying calibration and performance characterization software on QuEra’s neutral-atom quantum computers, translating experimental physics and data analysis into automation. This is a critical effort towards achieving programmability, reliability and peak performance of these machines for research, application development and commercial uses. Your work will directly shape how QuEra’s quantum computers are characterized, stabilized, and improved over time, laying the foundation for scalable, self-calibrating quantum platforms.

What you need

Required

Strong proficiency in Python, including experience with data analysis and visualization libraries (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Matplotlib).
Hands-on experience working with real experimental or measurement data, including noise handling, curve fitting, and model validation.
Familiarity with optimization and regression techniques, both classical (e.g., least-squares, nonlinear fits) and statistical (e.g., Bayesian inference, parameter estimation).
Comfort working in a hardware-facing environment, integrating software with lab instruments, data acquisition systems, or experimental control frameworks.
Solid understanding of version control (Git) and structured software development practices (testing, modularity, documentation).
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 device
Enjoys hands-on experimentation, iteration, and uncovering structure in data.
Comfortable working across abstraction layers, from analyzing raw voltage traces to designing experiment-level calibration strategies.
Collaborative and adaptable; able to operate in an interdisciplinary environment spanning science, software, and hardware teams.

Education & Experience

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 plu
