Senior Hardware Algorithm Developer Quantum Register Team WM

About Pasqal

Pasqal designs and develops Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and associated software tools.

Our innovative technology enables us to address use cases that are currently beyond the reach of the most powerful supercomputers; these cases can concern industrial application challenges as well as fundamental science needs.

In addition to the exceptional computing power they provide QPUs are highly energy efficient and will contribute to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the HPC industry.

Job Description

PASQAL has the ambition of developing and building Quantum Processing Units (QPU) enabling highly performant computation using neutral atoms manipulated with lasers. On the hardware level remarkable challenges make this journey unique and interesting.

At the Quantum Register team we push the limits of the qubit preparation for computation enabling scalability high repetition rate and qubit connectivity addressing problems such as quantum simulation and quantum error correction codes.

We are looking for highly motivated and experienced R&D scientific software engineer / algorithm developer to strengthen our team. You will have a key role at PASQAL to explore validate and push to production algorithms that directly improve register performance and integrate into PASQALs broader software environment.

Main responsibilities

The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in developing and implementing algorithms that apply concepts from math physics statistics and engineering concepts to solve multi-disciplinary problems at the hardware and system level.

What you will be doing :

System-level problem solving

• Translate hardware constraints physical principles and system requirements into functional block diagrams algorithmic architecture and software interfaces.

• Develop a high-level understanding of the algorithm library and interfaces with the broader software stack and hardware systems.

R&D scientific software development and validation

• Explore and evaluate algorithmic approaches using simulations data analysis and quantitative benchmarking whenever applicable.

• Conduct literature reviews and technology watch activities to identify relevant methods and emerging techniques.

• Validate software performance using defined metrics and produce test reports

Performance engineering

• Profile benchmark and optimize runtime and resource usage

• Ensure reliability and scalability of implementations.
