Role Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated R&D Intern – Quantum Computing Software Development & Systems Engineering to join our Quantum Computing Systems & Software Group. In this role, you will contribute to the development of quantum software stacks, system control software, and hardware–software interfaces for quantum processors.

This position provides hands-on exposure to quantum programming, system orchestration, calibration pipelines, experiment automation, and performance benchmarking for real quantum hardware and simulators.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain quantum software components for programming, control, and execution of quantum circuits.
• Support hardware–software integration for quantum processors (control, readout, calibration, scheduling).
• Implement experiment automation, data acquisition, and analysis pipelines for quantum systems.
• Assist in building quantum compilation, transpilation, and optimization workflows.
• Develop APIs, drivers, or middleware connecting quantum hardware, simulators, and classical compute systems.
• Perform system-level benchmarking (gate fidelity, latency, throughput, noise analysis).
• Contribute to documentation, software testing, and reproducible system workflows.
• Collaborate with physicists, electronics engineers, and system architects to optimize performance.

Required Qualifications

• Master’s or Ph.D. (or final-year student) in Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Quantum Engineering, or related fields.
• Strong understanding of quantum computing fundamentals (qubits, gates, circuits, measurement, noise).
• Programming experience in Python (required); familiarity with C/C++ or Rust is a plus.
• Knowledge of classical computing systems, algorithms, and data structures.
• Ability to work in cross-functional research and engineering teams.

Required Skills

• Experience with quantum software frameworks such as Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, Braket, or similar.
• Familiarity with quantum circuit simulation, noise models, and hardware constraints.
• Experience with experiment control, workflow orchestration, or distributed systems.
• Knowledge of Linux environments, version control (Git), and software testing practices.
• Ability to analyze performance metrics and optimize system-level behavior.
• Strong technical documentation and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with quantum control software, calibration routines, or pulse-level programming.
• Knowledge of quantum compilers, schedulers, or runtime systems.
• Exposure to hybrid quantum-classical algorithms (VQE, QAOA, variational circuits).
• Familiarity with cloud-based quantum platforms or HPC environments.
• Prior experience in quantum computing research labs, startups, or open-source projects.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on real quantum computing systems and software stacks.
• Mentorship from experts in quantum algorithms, hardware, and system engineering.
• Competitive compensation and strong growth opportunities in the quantum software ecosystem.
• Hands-on exposure to full-stack quantum computing, from low-level control to high-level applications.
