Software developer for Quantum Computing

The Chalmers Quantum Computing group is looking for a software developer to join our team and develop applications for operating and characterizing our quantum processor. You will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project in a vibrant and growing group of more than 30 scientists.

Our main project, financed by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg (KAW) Foundation through the https://www.chalmers.se/en/centres/wacqt/ research program, aims to build a quantum computer with 100 superconducting qubits by 2030. We have already developed a functional 25-qubit quantum processor and now need to strengthen our software infrastructure to fully exploit its potential.

You will be employed by the quantum division of Chalmers Next Labs (CNL), a company within the Chalmers group that supports the https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/research/quantum-technology/ by employing software and engineering specialists working alongside researchers. We are now looking for a new team player in the early stages of their career to join our growing company.

Main responsibilities

Your main responsibility will be to help in development of software solutions for operating superconducting quantum processors. Current focus is put on automated calibration and characterization routines. This work entails working with software that closely integrates with the lab hardware, as well as data analysis of measurement data. Specifically, you will be tasked with.

• Developing control and coordination software for microwave electronics.
• Developing analysis software to analyse results from qubit measurements.
• Supporting the development of internal tools and applications that facilitate the deployment and operation of transmon-based QPUs.
• Collaborating closely with physicists and engineers within the quantum computing groups at Chalmers University of Technology and Chalmers Next Labs.

Position summary

You will be employed by Chalmers Next Labs to work in the Chalmers University of Technology research group. The job is a full-time, permanent employment.

Qualifications

To qualify for the position, you must have a relevant degree in Computer Science, Physics, Engineering or equivalent work experience.

Required skills

• Good teamwork and communication skills
• Proficient in Python
• Professional software development skills
• Fluency in English, both oral and written.

Desirable skills and experience

• Experience in developing software for superconducting quantum processors or similar hardware systems.
• Experience with database design and optimization.
• Interest in mentoring or training colleagues to improve their software skills.
