Senior/Staff Quantum Error Correction Engineer - IQM - Remote - Global

At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes. Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat. As a Senior/Staff Quantum Error Correction Engineer, you will play a key role in advancing the core technology behind IQM’s quantum computers. You will design and optimize quantum error-correcting codes, fault-tolerant protocols, and decoding algorithms that directly impact system performance and scalability. Working at the intersection of theory, software, and hardware, you will collaborate closely with quantum hardware, software, and research teams to bring error correction from theory into experimental reality. Your work will push state-of-the-art research forward while enabling practical, scalable quantum computing. Design and optimize quantum error-correcting codes, fault-tolerant protocols, and decoding algorithms. Develop and benchmark simulations to evaluate QEC performance and scalability. Contribute to and run quantum error correction experiments on IQM hardware. Build and maintain robust software libraries for QEC and integrate them into broader systems. Collaborate closely with hardware, software, and research teams to bring QEC into practice. Contribute to research, publish results, and help shape technical direction in QEC.
