As a Research Software Engineer Intern within the Intelligent Automation team, you will contribute to directly developing a framework that translates high-level instructions into machine-readable code for controlling our quantum processors. This is a paid internship with the opportunity to make a real impact at a scale-up shaping the future of quantum computing.
The goal of the Intelligent Automation team is to automate both the characterisation and operation of the quantum processor and its constituent parts. We are looking for someone with intellectual curiosity and experience writing software in Python, who is keen to develop their skills in a quantum computing context. This role would be well suited to someone with some experience in either the use of compilers/assemblers or in writing software to control external hardware, although neither of these is required.
Writing clean, reusable Python code for quantum computing applications.
Researching and testing different approaches to implementing functionality in our software stack.
Reporting findings in a clear and concise manner to inform further decision-making.
- Minimum 2.1 (attained or expected) in Computer Science, or another STEM discipline with programming experience.
- Experience writing software in Python.
- Good communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work independently to problem-solve and achieve goals.
Experience with any of the following would be beneficial, but not required:
- Git, version control and software best practices.
