Job Summary:
Quantinuum is the world’s largest integrated quantum company, pioneering powerful quantum computers and advanced software solutions. They are seeking a Quantum Compiler Engineer to join an interdisciplinary team focused on transforming quantum algorithms into executable instructions for trapped-ion quantum computers. The role involves developing compiler tools, optimizing performance, and collaborating with physicists and engineers to solve complex problems.
Responsibilities:
• Contribute to the development of compiler front-end (quantum languages), back-end (machine-specific targeting), and optimization (quantum circuit optimization and classical optimization) passes operating on both classical and quantum operations
• Benchmark, profile, and optimize the execution of our compiler and the quality and performance of quantum programs it generates including responsibility for tracking and improving time-to-solution and solution quality for implemented routing algorithms
• Collaborate on the design and implementation of a compiler targeting a real-time, distributed execution environment
• Work with a diverse team including physicists and other engineering disciplines to solve complex problems
• Write high quality, maintainable code in an R&D and rapid prototyping environment
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor’s Degree in CS
• Minimum 2 years in compiler fundamentals and a strong understanding of compiler design
• Ability to understand, combine, and apply algorithms to solve complex problems
• Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.
• Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. person (defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status)
Preferred:
• Ability to solve complex problems and ability to communicate how you did it
• Track-record using python or other rapid prototyping and development tools to solve complex challenges
• Rust development experience especially including any LLVM or optimization algorithm development
• Demonstrated ability to work with a variety of algorithms, including tree, graph, SAT, and, at times Machine Learning and other algorithms
• Experience with the development of application-specific algorithms, especially where exact/optimal solutions are computationally intractable
• Proficiency with software testing and deployment tools
