Algorithm Developer - Register Team W - M - Pasqal H/F

At PASQAL, we build neutral-atom Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) where lasers, control systems and software meet cutting-edge physics. In the Quantum Register team, we develop algorithms that make qubit preparation scalable, fast, and reliable, a cornerstone for quantum simulation and error correction.

We're looking for experienced scientific software / algorithms engineer to take ideas from theory simulation experimental validation production-grade software that directly improves register performance.

Main responsibilities

The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in developing and implementing algorithms that apply concepts from math, physics, statistics and engineering concepts to solve multi-disciplinary problems at the hardware and system level.

What you'll do

System-level problem solving

• Convert hardware constraints specifications and physical principles into algorithmic architectures, interfaces, and functional block diagrams.
• Build a strong understanding of one of Pasqal's algorithm library and how it connects to the wider software stack and hardware systems.

R&D scientific software development & validation

• Explore algorithmic approaches through simulation, data analysis, and quantitative benchmarking.
• Run literature reviews / technology watch to bring relevant methods into the team.
• Define metrics, validate performance, and write clear test reports.

Performance engineering

• Profile and optimize runtime and resource usage (CPU/GPU when relevant).
• Deliver reliable, scalable implementations with solid engineering practices.
• Interface solutions with lab/industrial instrumentation when needed.

Collaboration & communication

• Work closely with software and hardware engineers to integrate algorithms from end-to-end.
• Present results to mixed audiences and document methodologies and architecture., At PASQAL, we build neutral-atom Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) where lasers, control systems and software meet cutting-edge physics.
