Scientific Software Engineer

ABOUT US

QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.

With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!

Our Quantum Processor Team is seeking an excellent Scientific Software Engineer to take ownership of the software infrastructure that powers our Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) design. As we develop larger QPUs, the complexity of our codebase scales with it. You will be responsible for simplifying our codebase, accelerating our design workflows, and implementing robust testing pipelines and Design Rule Checks (DRC) that ensure device quality. You will work closely with our quantum physicists and RF engineers to build the tools they rely on to design the next generation of quantum processors. Furthermore, this role offers growth opportunities to quantum engineering roles in our Processor Design and Measurement teams.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

- Lead Software Development Projects: Architect, develop, and continuously improve the software tools and libraries used for quantum device design (using frameworks like Quantum/Qiskit Metal, ANSYS, KLayout).

- Codebase Optimisation: Refactor and simplify existing codebase to speed up the processor design flow.

- Quality Assurance & DRC: Design and implement automated software tests and Design Rule Checks (DRC) to catch layout errors early and improve overall device yield.

- Manage CI/CD Pipelines: Oversee code architecture and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth, scalable software integration across the team.

- Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Collaborate closely...
