Senior Applied AI Engineer

Role Overview 

QuEra is standing up a new AI Engineering team to help every group in the company put AI to work. We are hiring senior founding engineers to set its bar. In this role, you will turn the highest-value ideas from our company-wide AI workshop into real, deployable tools, and build LLM- and agent-powered software that makes our slow, expensive, and expertise-gated steps faster, cheaper, and more accessible — from machine build and bringup to everyday engineering.

This senior, high-autonomy role is designed specifically for someone at the top of their craft. You will own projects end to end, set the technical patterns the team builds on, and raise the bar for how AI software is built across QuEra. You bring deep, modern AI application-engineering expertise that complements our in-house physics, controls, and hardware strength — and you help us build that talent quickly. A background in quantum computing is not required.
