Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a passionate AI research scientist with expertise in quantum computing to advance fault-tolerant quantum systems through machine learning. The role involves architecting AI solutions that span quantum error correction and calibration while collaborating with multi-functional teams. The candidate will contribute to the development of open AI models and datasets that enhance the quantum computing ecosystem. This position offers the opportunity to translate theoretical advancements into practical applications in next-generation quantum supercomputers.

Requirements

  • Ph.D. in Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
  • 8+ years of combined experience in quantum computing and/or AI/ML research.
  • Deep expertise in machine learning and deep learning applied to scientific or engineering problems.
  • Strong background in Quantum Information Science, including quantum error correction and fault-tolerant protocols.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with multi-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Design and architect AI/ML models for quantum error correction and real-time calibration in fault-tolerant quantum systems.
  • Develop cutting-edge AI techniques for quantum computing that contribute to NVIDIA's open model efforts.
  • Create high-quality, large-scale datasets for quantum error correction and system characterization.
  • Collaborate with quantum hardware teams to collect and structure hardware-derived training data.
  • Co-design AI solutions with quantum hardware and software teams to meet operational requirements.
  • Communicate research findings through top-tier venues and collaborate with academic and industry partners.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
