Quantum Error Correction Manager H/F

About Pasqal PASQAL designs and develops Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and associated software tools. Our innovative technology enables us to address use cases that are currently beyond the reach of the most powerful supercomputers; these cases can concern industrial application challenges as well as fundamental science needs. In addition to the exceptional computing power they provide, QPUs are highly energy efficient and will contribute to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the HPC industry. Job Description Within the Hardware department, the Quantum Error Correction (QEC) team develops error-correcting codes and protocols that allow quantum computation to be carried out in a fault-tolerant way. It includes selecting error correcting codes tailored to Pasqal hardware, designing fault-tolerant logical gates, developing decoders, and benchmarking QEC performance, analyzing experimental data to develop logical error models and budgets, and building and maintaining numerical libraries to simulate QEC protocols. Technical Responsabilities Build and maintain a roadmap for the QEC team, in line with the strategic hardware roadmap. Ensure that QEC-related software tools are aligned with the team roadmap and ensure cross-project consistency Provide technical supervision of the team's work. Coordinate the work carried out by the team with other teams and projects. Ensure quality in written reports and documents relating to scientific and technical work. Participate to QEC-related discussions with external collaborators. Contribute to grant proposals and follow-up. Be proactive in the generation of ideas that can lead to intellectual property and participate in reviewing application requests emerging within the company and related to QEC. Represent the company, attend and contribute to international conferences and fairs. Managerial Responsibilities Propose and monitor a schedule of tasks assigned to team members, in collaboration with project managers. Participate in the recruitment of new team members. Ensure regular reporting on the progress of work to management and stakeholders. Supervise, support, and develop the skills of team members. About you You have a PhD in quantum physics or equivalent You have at least 5 years' experience in quantum error correction, ideally with managerial experience (or a strong appetite for management if this is not the case!) Hard skills In-depth knowledge of quantum information theory and quantum error correction Strong interest in experimental physics. Programming skills for data analysis and simulations (Python, etc.). Experience in managing small-scale projects. Soft skills Leadership. Autonomy and organizational skills. Excellent communication and listening skills.
