• Translate protocols for cold atom hardware (National Quantum Processor Initiative) to reach beyond current capabilities.
• Develop research and development solutions under strict NDA with commercial or in-house providers.
• Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of quantum computing solutions from conception to delivering working prototypes.
• Provide high-quality quantum middleware between software and hardware to enable long-term capabilities.

Requirements

• PhD degree in mathematics, physics, computer science or related field.
• At least 1 year of relevant experience in similar roles or technical hands-on execution of quantum circuits on hardware.
• Familiarity with standard quantum computing SDKs.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Proficiency in programming languages, numeric and analytical skills.
• Competent in mentoring junior peers.
• Ability to work independently, meet strict timelines, and be meticulous with eye for details.
