Job Description

Join Nexus Quantum Labs at the forefront of technological revolution as we pioneer quantum computing solutions for 2026 and beyond. We seek a visionary Research Scientist to develop next-gen quantum algorithms, error-correction protocols, and hybrid quantum-classical systems that will redefine computational boundaries. You'll collaborate with Nobel laureates and industry disruptors in a state-of-the-art facility overlooking the Bay, where your work directly impacts breakthroughs in drug discovery, climate modeling, and AI optimization.

Our culture combines MIT-caliber rigor with startup agility, offering unparalleled resources including exclusive access to 128-qubit processors and $50M R&D budget. This role includes equity participation, unlimited learning stipends, and flexible remote options with quarterly in-person innovation sprints at our Palo Alto campus.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement novel quantum algorithms for complex optimization problems
  • Lead fault-tolerant quantum computing research and error mitigation strategies
  • Develop hybrid quantum-classical machine learning frameworks for 2026 applications
  • Collaborate with hardware teams to co-design quantum processor architectures
  • Publish 3+ high-impact research papers annually in Nature/Science journals
  • Secure $2M+ in government/industry grants for quantum initiatives
  • Mentor PhD researchers and lead cross-functional innovation pods

Qualifications

  • PhD in Quantum Physics, Computer Science, or related field with 5+ years industry experience
  • Expertise in quantum programming languages (Q#, Qiskit, Cirq) and quantum circuit design
  • Proven track record of peer-reviewed quantum computing publications
  • Deep understanding of quantum error correction and topological quantum computing
  • Experience with cloud quantum platforms (IBM Quantum, Amazon Braket)
  • Strong background in machine learning and high-performance computing
