- Research contributions in QEC demonstrated through publications or software
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to work across disciplines
- Scientific programming skills in Python, C++, or a comparable language
- Design of fault-tolerant logical operations or estimates of their resource requirements
- Circuit-level QEC simulation, noise modeling, and logical error benchmarking
- Experimental collaboration or QEC implementation on hardware, especially neutral atoms
- High-performance or real-time decoder development in software or hardware
- High-performance computing or machine learning applied to QEC
The approximate base salary range for this position is $130,400 - $211,900.
We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience.
