Quantum Scientist – FTQC Education
Boston, Massachusetts, United States · Posted 6 days agoDescription
Summary
QuEra Computing is seeking a mission-driven Quantum Scientist focused on designing and delivering specialized educational engagement and training. You’ll use your expertise in quantum error correction (QEC) and your pedagogical skill to create learning experiences that enable users on our existing and upcoming neutral-atom quantum systems as they transition from NISQ workflows into the fault-tolerant (FTQC) era. Deliverables can take many forms but include lessons, tutorials, quizzes, hackathon challenges, and presentations tailored to users across industry, academia, and national labs. This is a role for a motivated Quantum Scientist who is also passionate about educational outreach and enablement of technical audiences.
Some travel may be required for workshops, conferences, and hackathons.
Responsibilities
- Deliver education, both internally and externally, of novel research results and methods in QEC and fault-tolerance.
- Design, author, and maintain structured and hands-on learning materials (courses, tutorials, notebooks, problem sets, quizzes, and challenge tracks) aligned with Bloqade and neutral-atom hardware capabilities.
- Produce clear, accurate technical presentations and demos for customers, partners, conferences, and hackathons; deliver live and online instructions.
- Collaborate with product, research, and solutions teams to ensure contents reflect the latest features, APIs, and hardware constraints.
- Translate new R&D into learner pathways; define objectives and assessments; use learner data and feedback to iterate and improve.
- Drive customer/partner enablement and community programs (hackathons, forums, workshops) and expand documentation to lower adoption barriers.
Qualifications
- Advanced experience in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (PhD or MSc/BSc with equivalent experience).
- Strong foundation in quantum information/science and comfort spanning algorithmic building blocks, software tooling, data analysis, and hardware limitations.
- Experience executing quantum algorithms on real quantum systems, and adapting quantum circuits to the constraints of these real systems.
- Familiarity with quantum error correction, including implementation of quantum algorithms in an error-corrected setting.
- Experience creating technical education materials or teaching (tutorials, workshops, developer content), coupled with a demonstrated interest in research-informed, advanced pedagogy and experience deploying technical education materials into online platforms.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain complex topics to diverse audiences.
- Collaborative mindset and the discipline to deliver high-quality content independently.
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated track record of QEC and FTQC research including through scientific publications and presentations.
- Familiarity with neutral-atom quantum computing platforms.
- Experience with Bloqade or other QIS tooling for scientific computing.
- Track record running hackathons and building developer communities.
- Comfort with data analysis to evaluate learning outcomes and improve curricula.
The approximate base salary range for this position is $130,400 - $211,900.
We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.
QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
