Company Description

QORAI CORP is a fast-paced deep-tech company developing a new computing architecture for adaptive intelligence, persistent contextual memory, Spatial Weave computing, multi-state processing, AI systems, FPGA acceleration, and future semiconductor hardware.

We are looking for people who want to ask:

What should the computer become next?

What We’re Building

Our work spans Q4 Nexus, Q4 Core, Q4-ISA, TetraQore, Weavion-3D, Spatial Weave Memory, SWME, Q4-DOS, Nexus-OS, Q-Sensei AI, Guardian Kernel, Q4-MX1 and Q4 Foundry / Softworks Labs. Some of these systems begin in software. Others are being developed on FPGA hardware. Longer-term research extends into native four-state semiconductor devices and specialized Q4 silicon.

Why Work at QORAI?

You won’t join a large organization to maintain an existing product line. You will be helping determine whether entirely new computing ideas can become real systems.

Competitive salary commensurate with experience

Standard employee benefits package

Paid holidays and paid time off

Opportunities for professional development

Direct interaction with QORAI’s architecture and leadership teams

Significant responsibility in early-stage technology development

A collaborative, interdisciplinary engineering environment

Opportunity to contribute to patentable and potentially industry-defining technologies

Our Culture

We value curiosity, disciplined experimentation, intellectual independence, measurable results, collaboration, and the willingness to challenge assumptions. You should be comfortable working in an environment where:

some problems do not yet have textbook answers;
prototypes matter more than presentation slides;
ideas are challenged through engineering and measurement;
software, hardware, AI, memory architecture, and semiconductor research intersect;
engineers are expected to understand how their work fits into the larger Q4 Nexus architecture;
failure of an experiment is acceptable if it produces useful knowledge;
unsupported technical claims are not acceptable.

Role Basics

Location: Orlando, Florida
Employment: Full-time, on-site
Compensation: Competitive salary commensurate with education, expertise, and experience, plus QORAI’s standard employee benefits package.
Experience: Most senior engineering roles require approximately 5–10+ years of relevant professional experience.
Work Authorization: Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Certain positions may require U.S.-person status because of semiconductor, export-control, customer, or technology-access requirements.
