The Sr. Quantum Applied Research Scientist at NVIDIA will focus on developing high-fidelity models for fault-tolerant quantum hardware. This role involves research at the intersection of quantum device physics and advanced physics simulation. The scientist will collaborate with teams across Product, Engineering, and Applied Research to advance the field of Accelerated Quantum Supercomputers. The position requires a passion for developing new technology and working in a fast-paced environment.

• Masters Degree in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field; Ph.D. strongly preferred.
• 8+ years of combined experience in quantum systems, physics-based modeling, simulation, or related research areas.
• Hands-on expertise in developing high-fidelity models of physical systems, including numerical simulation and model validation.
• Strong background in quantum device physics and information science, including noise models and fault-tolerant quantum systems.
• Broad understanding of quantum control, such as pulse-level hardware interfaces and classical feedback through software abstractions.
• Experience with scalable computing or accelerated systems for simulation, numerical methods, or modeling workflows.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

• Research and develop advanced physics-based models and scalable simulation frameworks.
• Build physics-informed synthetic data generation pipelines leveraging quantum device models and noise channels.
• Develop detailed noise models of quantum hardware to enable accurate performance prediction.
• Develop GPU-accelerated implementations to ensure the full simulation and modeling pipeline scales.
• Communicate research findings and collaborate with academic and industry partners to advance the field.

• 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.
