About the role

Role within NVIDIA to develop, scale, and optimize software to accelerate and scale quantum computing and quantum system simulations, with a focus on quantum error correction (QEC) libraries and high-performance GPU-accelerated software.

Responsibilities

  • Developing innovative algorithms to accelerate simulation of QEC workloads at scale.
  • Researching, developing and optimizing GPU-accelerated algorithms across multiple hardware generations.
  • Working closely with NVIDIA Research, Developer Technology, and Product Management teams in the areas of quantum computing, HPC technologies, and machine learning.
  • Interacting with external partners and researchers to understand their use cases and requirements.
  • Providing technical leadership and mentorship to other specialists.

Qualifications

  • Excellent modern C++ and Python programming skills, including debugging, functional testing, and performance testing.
  • Proven track record to convert mathematical or research-level algorithms into robust, reusable, and well-documented software primitives.
  • Expert understanding of QEC and stabilizer formalism, including binary symplectic representations, stabilizer and destabilizer tableaux, Pauli-frame propagation, mid-circuit measurement, and classical control.
  • Strong understanding of noise models, including Pauli, correlated, and time-dependent noise, as well as exact and approximate representations of non-Pauli noise.
  • Familiarity with the broader quantum software landscape, including Stim, Qiskit Aer, PennyLane, Cirq, cuQuantum SDK, CUDA-Q, or similar development frameworks.
  • Strong communication skills and experience collaborating across research, engineering, and product teams.
  • PhD or MS degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related scientific or engineering field, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of relevant research or software-development experience.
