Job Description

Join Nexus Labs at the forefront of quantum innovation as we redefine computational boundaries in 2026. We're seeking a visionary Quantum Computing Research Scientist to develop next-gen algorithms and solve humanity's most complex challenges. Our Austin-based R&D center offers state-of-the-art facilities and unparalleled collaboration with MIT and Stanford quantum consortia. Enjoy competitive equity packages, flexible work arrangements, and dedicated R&D budget for breakthrough projects. Shape the future of computing with a team that's already prototyping 1,000-qubit processors.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement novel quantum algorithms for optimization and machine learning applications
  • Lead experimental validation of quantum supremacy protocols on cryogenic systems
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to mitigate decoherence in superconducting qubits
  • Develop error correction frameworks for fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Publish high-impact research in Nature/Science journals and present at IEEE Quantum Week
  • Secure federal grants (DARPA, NSF) and industry partnerships (IBM, Google Quantum)
  • Mentor PhD interns in quantum information theory

Qualifications

  • PhD in Quantum Physics, Computer Science, or related field (postdoc preferred)
  • 3+ years hands-on experience with quantum simulators (Qiskit, Cirq) or hardware
  • Published research in quantum error correction or topological quantum computing
  • Proficiency in Python/C++ with quantum libraries and HPC environments
  • Deep understanding of quantum entanglement and Bell inequalities
  • Track record of securing $500K+ in quantum research funding
