Job Description
Are you ready to define the next era of computing? Nebula Future Systems is seeking a visionary Lead Quantum Architect to spearhead the development of our post-silicon infrastructure. In this pivotal role, you will bridge the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering, designing the error-corrected logical qubits that will power the future of global computation.
We are not just building software; we are architecting the operating systems of tomorrow. If you possess an uncanny ability to navigate the complexities of superconducting qubits and quantum error mitigation, we want to meet you.
Why join Nebula?
- Work on technology that will redefine industry standards.
- Competitive equity package and top-tier compensation.
- Collaborate with the brightest minds in physics and computer science.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable quantum circuits and algorithms tailored for NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) devices.
- Lead the architectural transition from physical to logical qubits, focusing on fault-tolerant quantum computing.
- Develop and optimize quantum compilers and middleware to maximize hardware efficiency.
- Collaborate closely with theoretical physicists to translate abstract research into deployable code.
- Mentor a team of quantum software engineers and researchers, fostering a culture of innovation.
- Identify and mitigate hardware and software bottlenecks in quantum processing units (QPUs).
Qualifications
- PhD or Master’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field with a focus on Quantum Mechanics.
- 5+ years of experience in quantum computing research or software development, preferably with platforms like Qiskit, Cirq, or Amazon Braket.
- Deep understanding of quantum gates, superposition, entanglement, and error correction codes (surface codes, stabilizer codes).
- Proficiency in Python and C++ for high-performance computing.
- Experience with quantum simulation tools and hardware interfaces.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, experimental environment.
