Quantum Error Correction Engineer at IQM, based on-site in Munich. The role involves designing and analyzing error-correcting codes under hardware connectivity constraints, evaluating fault-tolerant operations such as lattice surgery, and developing decoding algorithms, including graph-based and machine-learning methods. Duties include implementation in Python, C/C++, or Rust, possibly on FPGA, plus resource estimation, cross-team collaboration, and publication. The posting asks for a PhD, deep QEC knowledge, at least two years of scientific software experience, a strong publication record, and three years in relevant specialisms.
