- Master's degree in physics, computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, chemistry, or a related field, or equivalent experience. PhD preferred.
- 14+ years of experience in quantum information science, with 5+ years in the quantum computing industry or at a national laboratory or similar research institution.
- Demonstrated technical expertise across quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, or quantum hardware and control systems, with the ability to maintain a credible conversation with a principal investigator.
- Hands-on background in scientific computing, high-performance computing, or GPU-accelerated software development.
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including public speaking to technical audiences.
- Willingness to travel frequently (approximately 40%) to national laboratories, federal sites, and conferences across the United States.
- This position requires U.S. citizenship and a security clearance. An active TS/SCI or DOE Q clearance is strongly preferred.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Prior experience working at or with a DOE national laboratory, an NQIS Research Center, or other federal institution — particularly hands-on time at a leading computing facility.
