HRL Laboratories

HRL Labs builds quantum computers. A lot of software is needed for this: - Data platform and internal tools, written in Python. (Junior to senior) - Optimizing quantum compilers, written in Common Lisp. (Senior) - Experimental physics software, written in Python. (Mid to senior) - Low-level control software, written in C++. (Senior) - ...and more. Most positions don't actually require any knowledge of quantum, but for some roles, it does help to have some experience working in an academic discipline. Interview process: phone call, take-home coding exercise, video interview, reference checks, offer. No LeetCode or puzzles. HRL Laboratories is financially stable, and perhaps the closest one can get to a "Bell Labs" experience and incentive structure. We don't build product in the traditional sense, so our incentives are aligned to doing things methodically and correctly. Out-of-the-box thinking is standard practice, and welcomed. Only US Citizens who are able to move to the Los Angeles area are eligible. We do combined in-office (more like in-laboratory) and WFH.
