Quantum Error Correction Engineer Aurangabad

Role summary

We are building a system that implements surface-code quantum error correction with a hardware-accelerated pipeline (multi-FPGA). We already have the FPGA architecture expertise in-house. This role is for a surface-code implementation specialist, someone who understands the surface code deeply and has practical experience with decoder implementations / syndrome-processing pipelines.

You will be the person who makes the surface code “real” at the implementation level: transparent algorithmic choices, concrete dataflows, executable reference models, and unambiguous specs that our FPGA team can implement and verify.

What you’ll do

Own the surface-code implementation plan (algorithm → implementation)

Define the full syndrome processing + decoding workflow for the chosen surface-code setup

Identify performance targets: cycle-level latency constraints, throughput requirements, scaling behavior

Decoder strategy + practical implementation details

Evaluate or define a decoder approach suitable for real-time/streaming constraints

Provide implementation-ready descriptions (data structures, update rules, scheduling, approximations)

Work with the FPGA architect on what belongs in FPGA vs host/control software

Create implementation artifacts the FPGA team can execute

Detailed algorithm spec (state machines, message formats, boundary conditions, corner cases)

Reference implementation in Python/C++ (or similar) to generate expected outputs

Test vectors + golden models for verification (including fault/noise model assumptions)

Support integration + validation

Debug mismatches between reference model and hardware behavior

Define success metrics (logical error rate targets, latency budget, resource scaling)

Must-have qualifications (non-negotiable)

Deep working knowledge of surface code QEC beyond textbook level (stabilizers, syndrome extraction, decoding, boundaries/defects or lattice surgery—depending on your approach)
