Job description

As a Senior Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist at NVIDIA, you will focus on developing innovative technologies to advance Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing. You will work within a rapidly growing Quantum Computing team, collaborating with multi-functional teams in Product, Engineering, and Applied Research. This role emphasizes technical pathfinding and the integration of theory into practice, aiming to unlock new capabilities in fault tolerance. Your contributions will help accelerate the entire quantum computing ecosystem.

Requirements

  • Masters degree in Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, or a related engineering field, or equivalent experience, with a Ph.D. preferred.
  • Extensive background in Quantum Information Science with 6+ years of experience in the Quantum Computing industry.
  • A demonstrated ability to deliver high impact value in quantum error correction and decoding.

Responsibilities

  • Path-find technical innovations in Quantum Error Correction and Fault Tolerance.
  • Develop novel approaches to decoding quantum error correction codes and their logical operations.
  • Research and co-design improved methods to achieve more scaled decoders.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and external partners on developing technology components for a fault-tolerant software stack.
  • Adopt a culture of collaboration, rapid innovation, technical depth, and creative problem solving.

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.
