Job Title: Quantum Computing Architect Quantum Error Correction & Noise Mitigation Department: Quantum Research & Development

Job Type: Contract

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly experienced Quantum Computing Architect with deep expertise in Quantum Error Correction (QEC) and Noise Mitigation Techniques to lead the development of fault-tolerant quantum computing systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in designing scalable QEC frameworks, noise modeling, and hybrid quantum-classical system integration, with hands-on experience in platforms such as Qiskit, Google Cirq, and Rigetti Forest.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and implement advanced Quantum Error Correction protocols (e.g., surface codes, stabilizer codes, Shor/Steane codes) for quantum hardware and simulators. Develop and deploy noise mitigation strategies such as zero-noise extrapolation, Pauli twirling, and randomized compiling for NISQ devices. Create and validate hardware-aware noise and decoherence models using tools like Kraus operators and Lindblad master equations. Lead multi-disciplinary R&D teams in the architecture and prototyping of scalable fault-tolerant quantum systems. Collaborate with hardware and software engineering teams to integrate QEC methods into existing quantum platforms and cloud-based environments (e.g., AWS Braket, Azure Quantum). Publish technical findings, represent the organization at academic and industry conferences, and contribute to patent and intellectual property generation. Guide and mentor junior quantum engineers and research scientists.

Required Qualifications:

  • Master s degree or higher in Physics, Computer Science, or a related field with a specialization in Quantum Systems. 10+ years of experience in quantum computing research or system architecture, with specific focus on QEC and noise modeling. Hands-on expertise with IBM Qiskit, Google Cirq, Rigetti Forest, and quantum simulators (Qiskit Aer, Cirq simulators, Intel-QS). Proven track record in developing and deploying QEC frameworks on real quantum hardware or high-fidelity simulators. In-depth understanding of NISQ architectures, quantum decoherence, and hybrid classical-quantum workflows. Strong publication record and experience in presenting research at top-tier conferences (e.g., APS March Meeting, Q2B).
