Infleqtion
Quantum Software Engineer - Computational AMO Physics
Infleqtion, Chicago, Illinois, United States, 60290
Overview
Infleqtion is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. As a deep-tech startup, we embrace a results-driven, fast-paced, and customer-focused approach to innovation. We are seeking self-motivated, energetic individuals with exceptional problem-solving and technical skills to help drive our Quantum Sensing mission forward. We encourage applications from physicists with computational and/or theoretical backgrounds, particularly those with experience in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics and coherent control of quantum systems such as ultra-cold atoms or multi-level systems. Role and Responsibilities
Design, build, and test numerical simulations of physical systems, and work with experimental colleagues to incorporate real-world physical effects into the simulations Use GPUs or other High Performance Computing techniques to speed-up simulations Drive results and present findings to customers Stay up-to-date on literature, assess and pursue cutting edge quantum simulations for novel applications Communicate and interpret cutting-edge research in both theory and experiment with colleagues Customer-centric focus on solving end-user needs and proposing new work to customers Ownership of codebases to maintain high usability and performance Mentor and teach junior team members as indirect reports; supervise interns Requirements
PhD in computational AMO physics or related field; or equivalent related professional experience (4+ years); Senior Quantum Physicist level consideration available for substantially more experience Experience in writing simulations of quantum systems and light-matter interaction Experience using common software language and tools for simulation such as Python, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib Experience optimizing numerical simulations for high-speed performance Demonstrated ability to understand end user needs and connect real-world challenges with quantum solutions Demonstrated ability to work and communicate with all levels of an organization; professional communication skills Ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional, team-oriented environment Desire to thrive in a fluid, dynamic, fast-paced environment Ability to learn new topics quickly; resourceful problem-solver with productization experience Passion for solving complex problems in a highly technical environment Ability to travel domestically and potentially internationally up to 10% Nice to have
Experience simulating Bose-Einstein condensates or other cold/ultra-cold atom systems Experience simulating multi-level systems such as Rydberg atoms Familiarity with quantum sensing protocols and/or machine learning for optimizing quantum sensors Familiarity with neutral atom quantum computing and Rydberg-based entangling gates Familiarity with quantum optimal and robust control techniques Familiarity with quantum information theory Experience running and optimizing numerical simulations on GPUs Experience using simulation to study systematic effects in real-world experiments Familiarity with Git, Linux, and CLI tools Interest in staying up to date with developments in physics and literature Benefits
The targeted salary range for this role is $135,000 to $160,000 on an annualized basis plus eligibility to participate in our annual incentive plan. In addition to base compensation, we offer a generous Total Rewards program including: 100% company-paid medical, dental, vision, and short/long-term disability insurance Employer-funded Health Savings Account Unlimited Paid Time Off 401(k) matching Company-paid life and AD&D insurance Flexible Healthcare Savings Account Paid FMLA Leave Paid maternity/paternity leave Employee assistance program Student loan repayment Equal Opportunity
We value diversity and are an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. Your unique background is welcomed and appreciated. Employment decisions are based on qualifications, performance, merit, and business needs. Contact Information
