Job Description
Join Nexus Quantum Labs at the forefront of technological revolution as we pioneer quantum computing solutions for 2026 and beyond. We're seeking a visionary Quantum Computing Architect to design next-gen quantum systems that will redefine computational boundaries. This hybrid role combines cutting-edge research with practical implementation in our state-of-the-art Austin facility. You'll collaborate with Nobel laureates and industry disruptors to develop scalable quantum architectures that solve previously impossible problems in cryptography, drug discovery, and AI optimization.
Our team operates under a 'Future-First' philosophy, with 20% dedicated time for speculative R&D projects. We offer competitive equity packages, flexible work arrangements, and unlimited learning stipends for conferences like IEEE Quantum Week. Relocation assistance available for exceptional candidates.
Responsibilities
- Design scalable quantum circuit architectures for enterprise applications
- Develop error-correction protocols for fault-tolerant quantum systems
- Lead cross-functional teams in quantum algorithm implementation
- Research and integrate emerging quantum hardware technologies
- Create performance benchmarks for quantum-classical hybrid systems
- Collaborate with AI teams to develop quantum-enhanced machine learning models
- Present breakthrough findings at industry conferences and peer-reviewed journals
Qualifications
- PhD in Quantum Physics, Computer Science, or related field (MS + 5 years experience considered)
- 3+ years hands-on experience with quantum programming frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, or Q#)
- Published research in quantum error correction or fault tolerance
- Expertise in quantum hardware architectures (superconducting, ion trap, photonic)
- Strong background in high-performance computing and parallel processing
- Experience with cloud quantum platforms (IBM Quantum, Amazon Braket, Azure Quantum)
- Track record of translating theoretical quantum concepts to practical implementations
