Job Description
Join Stellar Dynamics as our next Senior Quantum Systems Architect and help define the computing landscape of the future. We are building the infrastructure for the post-silicon era, leveraging quantum mechanics to solve complex problems that are impossible for classical computers.
In this pivotal role, you will bridge the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering. You will lead the architecture of our next-generation quantum processors and develop error-correction protocols essential for scalable quantum computing. If you are passionate about the quantum revolution and want to be at the forefront of the 2026 technology wave, this is your opportunity.
Why Join Us?
We offer a competitive compensation package, equity options, and the chance to work with world-class talent in a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of San Francisco.
Responsibilities
- Architect and design scalable quantum circuits and algorithms using industry-standard frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, or PyQuil).
- Develop and optimize hybrid quantum-classical machine learning models for real-world data analysis.
- Lead research initiatives to improve quantum coherence times and error correction fidelity.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams of physicists, hardware engineers, and software developers.
- Implement rigorous testing and validation protocols to ensure system reliability.
- Contribute to patent applications and publish research in top-tier scientific journals.
Qualifications
- PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of experience in quantum computing research, development, or quantum-inspired algorithms.
- Deep understanding of linear algebra, probability, and complex number theory.
- Proficiency in Python and modern software engineering practices (Git, Docker, CI/CD).
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) for quantum simulation.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, experimental environment.
