HN Jobs

HRL Laboratories | Senior Software Engineer; Software Engineering Manager | Common Lisp | Onsite | Los Angeles, California | https://quantum.hrl.com/ HRL Laboratories is a private, scientific laboratory that has been in business since 1960. We are best known for having created the first working laser. We are doing R&D on quantum computing, from fabrication to algorithms, all in-house, using exchange-only silicon dot qubits. We are looking for both senior engineering and management to help build out our compiler stack for a quantum programming language. We recently presented it, along with our language-oriented development approach, at the biggest physics conference: APS March Meeting. [1] The quantum computing group uses Common Lisp, Coalton, Python, C++, and JavaScript to build a state-of-the-art operating system for physicists researching silicon dot quantum computers. Compiler development is done primarily in Lisp. Those experienced with - functional programming, and/or Lisp, and/or statically typed ML-descendants; - compilers, machine architecture; - and solid undergraduate mathematics and advanced computer science are most qualified. We can train you on Lisp, Coalton, and quantum if the fundamentals are there. Interview process: phone call, "take-home" exercise, on-site interview (no whiteboarding), reference checks, and offer. Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance, and must be willing to relocate to southern California.
