Job Description:
The HPE Quantum team at HPE Labs is developing new approaches for quantum computing, including integration with high performance computing (HPC). As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be at the forefront of efforts to bring quantum computing from research to practical reality. You will bring expertise in software development and quantum computing to develop and extend quantum circuit compilation, circuit execution, resource estimation, and circuit simulation capabilities. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, researchers, and product managers, you will build usable, efficient, and innovative systems that combine quantum and high-performance computing. The preferred candidate has a strong technical background in both quantum computing and HPC, advanced programming skills, and the ability to communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and demonstrate software that supports quantum computing applications and HPC-QC system management through job management, scheduling, compilation, and workflow frameworks
Create software adapters that connect quantum computing software tools (compilers, SDKs) with other tools using open standards where possible, and evaluate open-source and commercial software for inclusion in integrated HPC-QC environments
Develop functional and unit tests, support code quality with automated testing and continuous integration, and assist with code reviews
Implement and improve software prototypes to support research efforts, extending open source software as needed
Create mock-up and test bed systems to demonstrate HPC-QC software capabilities
Prepare internal and external demonstrations, create technical documentation, and write portions of research papers relating to software development efforts
Contribute to the development of open specifications and standards to support interoperability in quantum computing
Requirements:
Master's degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or related field, or equivalent work experience
6 or more years of programming experience
Advanced programming skills in low-level languages such as C, C++, or Rust, and advanced programming skills in Python
Experience contributing to large software projects and creating new software efforts, including library API design
Experience creating or extending quantum computing tools (e.g., Qiskit, CUDA-Q, TensorFlow Quantum, Pennylane)
Strong understanding of quantum computing, including skills in understanding and optimizing circuits
Deep understanding of HPC architecture, GPU/CPU function and applicability, cluster design, job scheduling, workload optimization, and performance tuning and testing
Strong mathematical background with excellent skills in areas such as statistics, probability, and linear algebra
Knowledge and Skills:
Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills with an outcome-focused mindset and bias for action and delivery
Focus on quality and customer results, with creative and analytical thinking abilities and a passion for solving complex problems
Strong consensus-building skills, capable of conveying complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences in written and presentation formats
Experience with Linux command line tools and familiarity with Agile development methodologies
Knowledge of quantum computing applications such as quantum chemistry, quantum simulation, quantum error correction (QEC), or combinatorial optimization
Experience with cloud computing platforms, GPU computing, AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), or compiler development (especially MLIR)
Experience developing microservices client/server software
Track record of sharing findings with the broader scientific community through research papers, blogs, or other public materials
