Job description
The Quantum Control Pulse-Level Compiler Intern role at IBM Quantum focuses on developing the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. Interns will work on extending the pulse-level quantum compiler to support a next-generation logical qubit control system. This position involves collaboration with various teams, including control systems and FPGA development, to integrate compiler outputs with hardware targets. The role is ideal for motivated computer science and engineering students eager to contribute to cutting-edge quantum technology.
Requirements
- Pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience with Rust and Python.
- Experience in compiler design or implementation, robotics or real-time control systems, or microwave/RF systems.
- Experience with Git, Linux, and command-line environments.
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Responsibilities
- Extend and enhance the pulse-level quantum compiler to support a next-generation logical qubit control system.
- Design and implement compiler passes and backend targets for a distributed, heterogeneous, hard-real-time microwave control system.
- Develop software and automation tools for testing and validating compiler correctness and real-time performance.
- Collaborate with control systems, FPGA, and runtime development teams to integrate compiler output with hardware targets.
Benefits
- IBM offers competitive compensation, healthcare coverage, retirement programs, paid parental leave, tuition assistance, wellness programs, flexible work options, and extensive learning and certification resources.
