About the role

Quantum Error Correction Engineer developing codes, decoders, and simulations for Pasqal’s neutral-atom quantum processors. Shaping fault-tolerant QPU architectures and logical operations.

Responsibilities

Select, adapt, and benchmark quantum error-correcting codes and protocols under realistic neutral-atom hardware constraints
Develop and evaluate decoding approaches and quantify QEC performance under realistic noise models
Develop and maintain logical error models and error budgets connected with physical noise models, experimental data, and internal emulators
Contribute to the design and benchmarking of fault-tolerant logical operations and logical gate strategies
Provide QEC-driven inputs to future QPU architecture design, including layout, zoning, connectivity, and operation scheduling constraints
Develop and maintain QEC simulation tools consistent with internal models and assumptions
Write reports, technical documents, and scientific articles
Contribute to identifying and protecting patentable technical ideas
Represent Pasqal at international conferences, workshops, and industry events
