Quantum Error Correction Engineer/Lead – QEC, Dublin or Delft

One of our main clients in quantum computing is looking for a Quantum Error Correction (QEC) Engineer/Architect to join a talented team in either Dublin or Delft. This pivotal role will drive the research and development of error correction codes and logical circuit schemes tailored to silicon spin qubits.

As a Senior QEC Scientist / QEC Lead, you will lead the technical effort to design, evaluate, and evolve QEC architectures, translating theory into practical, hardware-aware approaches that support the company’s roadmap to scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Experience required:

• Comprehensive understanding of fault-tolerant quantum computing, with experience in the following areas: quantum error-correction, decoding, logical gate design, implementation of non-Clifford gates, lattice surgery, code switching etc

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in academia or industry research in quantum error correction

• Experience working with cross-functional teams, including engineering, algorithm, software, and measurement teams

• Experience implementing quantum error correction solution

• PhD in a relevant field (e.g. Quantum Computing, Physics, Math, Computer Science) or Postdoc/industry experience in quantum error correction

• A proven track record of relevant achievements (publication, preprints, public code)

If you’re experience is a good match for this role, please apply and we’ll be in touch to schedule a call soon.
