Quantum Error Correction Engineer (Hardware-Aware)

Role summary

We are building a system that implements surface-code quantum error correction with a hardware-accelerated pipeline (multi-FPGA). We already have the FPGA architecture expertise in-house . This role is for a surface-code implementation specialist , someone who understands the surface code deeply and has practical experience with decoder implementations / syndrome-processing pipelines .

You will be the person who makes the surface code “real” at the implementation level: clear algorithmic choices, concrete dataflows, executable reference models, and unambiguous specs that our FPGA team can implement and verify.

What you’ll do

• Own the surface-code implementation plan (algorithm → implementation)
• Define the full syndrome processing + decoding workflow for the chosen surface-code setup
• Identify performance targets: cycle-level latency constra...
