Principal Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist, Applied Research

At NVIDIA, we’re solving the world’s most exciting problems with our unique approach to accelerated computing. We’re looking for passionate technologists with deep quantum computing domain expertise to path-find the future. As a Principal Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist for Quantum Computing Applied Research, you'll focus on technical pathfinding, helping to develop innovative technologies that advance the state of Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing for Accelerated Quantum Supercomputers, and work with multi-functional teams in Product, Engineering and Applied Research.

Quantum computing is a strategic priority for NVIDIA, and our goal is to help accelerate the entire ecosystem. In this role, you’ll join a rapidly growing Quantum Computing team, and work with partners across the industry. You’ll help unlock new capabilities in fault tolerance, and bring theory into practice. Do you love developing new technology, enjoy working with collaborative people and teams all around the world, and operating at the speed of light? If yes, we would love to hear from you!

What you'll be doing:

• Path-find technical innovations in Quantum Error Correction and Fault Tolerance, working with multi-functional teams in Product, Engineering, and Applied Research

• Develop novel approaches to quantum error correction codes and their logical operations, including methods for implementation and logical operation synthesis

• Research and co-design improved methods to achieve fault tolerance, such as techniques for logical operations, concatenation, synthesis, distillation, cultivation, or others

• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners on developing technology components to enable a fault-tolerant software stack integrated with quantum hardware

• Adopt a culture of collaboration, rapid innovation, technical depth, and creative problem solving

What we need to see:

• Masters degree in Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, or related engineering field or equivalent experience (Ph.D. preferred)

• Extensive background in Quantum Information Science with 12+ overall years of experience in the Quantum Computing industry

• A demonstrated ability to deliver high impact value in quantum error correction and fault tolerance

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Hands-on experience in scientific computing, high-performance computing, applied machine learning, or deep learning

• Experience with co-design of quantum error correction with quantum hardware or quantum applications

• Experience with CUDA and NVIDIA GPUs

• Passion to drive technology innovations into NVIDIA software and hardware products to support Quantum Computing
