Job Description
Step into the future with Nexus Quantum Technologies, where innovation meets quantum supremacy. We're seeking a visionary Quantum Computing Architect to redefine computational boundaries in our San Francisco headquarters. Join a multidisciplinary team of Nobel-caliber researchers and engineers building quantum systems that will solve humanity's most complex challenges—from drug discovery to climate modeling.
As a pioneer in the quantum revolution, you'll architect next-gen quantum processors, design error-corrected algorithms, and bridge the gap between theoretical physics and scalable quantum solutions. Our state-of-the-art lab features 500-qubit superconducting processors and exclusive partnerships with leading quantum hardware manufacturers. This isn't just a job—it's your chance to shape 2026's technological landscape.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement quantum algorithms for optimization, simulation, and machine learning applications
- Architect scalable quantum computing systems with error correction protocols
- Collaborate with hardware teams to integrate quantum-classical hybrid workflows
- Lead research on topological qubits and fault-tolerant quantum computing
- Develop quantum software stacks using Python, Qiskit, and Cirq frameworks
- Mentor junior quantum engineers and publish breakthrough research in Nature/Science
- Partner with Fortune 100 clients to deploy quantum solutions in finance and healthcare
Qualifications
- PhD in Quantum Physics, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent startup experience)
- 5+ years in quantum computing with demonstrated work on superconducting or photonic systems
- Expertise in quantum algorithms (Shor's, Grover's, VQE) and error correction codes
- Proficiency in quantum programming languages (Qiskit, Cirq, Q#) and classical HPC environments
- Published research in top-tier quantum computing journals or conferences
- Experience leading cross-functional quantum hardware-software integration projects
- Deep understanding of quantum entanglement, decoherence, and topological quantum computing
