Job Description
Join Nexus Labs at the frontier of technological evolution as we pioneer quantum solutions for 2026 and beyond. We're seeking a visionary Quantum Computing Researcher to develop next-gen algorithms that will redefine computational boundaries. In this role, you'll collaborate with Nobel laureates and industry disruptors to build scalable quantum systems capable of solving previously impossible problems in cryptography, materials science, and AI optimization.
Our Austin hub offers state-of-the-art facilities and a culture that rewards intellectual curiosity. You'll lead initiatives in error correction, qubit stabilization, and quantum machine learning while contributing to open-source frameworks that shape the global quantum ecosystem. This isn't just research—it's engineering the future.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement novel quantum algorithms for optimization and simulation problems
- Develop error-correction protocols to enhance qubit coherence and system stability
- Collaborate with hardware teams to translate theoretical models into functional quantum circuits
- Lead open-source initiatives in quantum machine learning frameworks
- Publish breakthrough research in peer-reviewed journals and industry conferences
- Secure federal and private research grants for quantum computing initiatives
- Mentor junior researchers in quantum information theory and computational physics
Qualifications
- PhD in Quantum Computing, Physics, or Computational Mathematics
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with quantum programming (Qiskit, Cirq, or Q#)
- Published research in quantum error correction or topological qubits
- Expertise in linear algebra, complex analysis, and statistical mechanics
- Proficiency with high-performance computing clusters and GPU acceleration
- Strong track record of securing research funding or patents
- Demonstrated ability to translate complex concepts for technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience with quantum annealing or superconducting qubit systems
