Job Description
Your missionplanqc builds digital quantum computers from neutral atoms held in optical tweezers. We are a spin-off of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, based in Garching near Munich. Our software team owns the stack that turns a quantum program into the laser pulses and atom movements our machines execute.As a Senior / Lead Quantum Compiler & ISA Engineer, you will lead how programs reach our neutral-atom hardware: the compiler architecture, its intermediate representations, and the instruction set at every level from gates to pulses and atom movement. Depending on experience, the role can .
