Location: On-site in Dublin, Delft, or Sherbrooke

Company

hirify.global develops a silicon spin qubit quantum system-on-chip platform for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing.

What you will do

• Lead implementation of quantum error-correction protocols for the silicon spin QSoC platform.
• Design and modify error-correcting codes, logical-qubit schemes, decoding algorithms, and logical gates for large-scale silicon spin qubit arrays.
• Specify physical-qubit requirements and guide qubit-topology development to support error-correction schemes.
• Simulate noise models, quantum error-correction codes, and fault-tolerant computations.
• Collaborate with engineering, algorithms, theory, software, measurement teams, and external partners to integrate fault-tolerant systems.
• Develop technical specifications, test plans, manuals, and research publications and presentations.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of academic or industry research experience in quantum error correction.
• Strong understanding of fault-tolerant quantum computing, including quantum error correction, decoding, logical gate design, non-Clifford gates, lattice surgery, and code switching.
• Experience implementing quantum error-correction solutions.
• PhD in quantum computing, physics, mathematics, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent postdoctoral or industry experience.
• Programming competence in Python or a similar language.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice to have

• Relevant publications, preprints, or publicly available code.

Culture & Benefits

• Work with quantum scientists, engineers, algorithm specialists, software developers, and measurement teams.
