Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Researcher

Position Overview

• Location Type: Remote
• Employment Type: Full-time, Exempt
• Salary: $75,000 - $150,000 annually (dependent on qualifications)

Opportunity: Technergetics is seeking up to five mid-level to senior-level experts in Physics, Mathematics, Logistics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Operations Research to support the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) team. The primary objective is evaluation, not research, focused on reviewing, validating, and documenting approaches for fault-tolerant quantum computing and computational workflows. The goal is to determine if emerging quantum computing approaches can achieve exponentially faster operation than conventional predictions. The position offers remote performance with potential travel to the Washington DC area (DARPA) and support/Performer sites across the country (10%-40% of the month). Frequent VTC meetings and potential non-standard work hours are expected.

Requirements

• Background in Physics, Mathematics, Logistics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or Operations Research.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to quickly learn and understand complex concepts.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

• Perform tasks to identify, select, capture, evaluate, and document metrics and approaches for fault-tolerant, utility-scale quantum computers (USQC).
• Generate and execute plans to assess the timeline, performance, and operation metrics of Performer technologies.
• Verify Performer technology plausibility.
• Participate in frequent VTC meetings.
• Potential travel to the Washington DC area (DARPA) and support/Performer sites across the country (10%-40% of the month).

Application Instructions

• Beware of Fraudulent Job Offers: Technergetics will never offer employment without a thorough interview process involving in-person or virtual Teams meetings from an official Technergetics email address (@techngs.com). Any correspondence from other email addresses is likely a scam.
• Codility Testing: Pre-interview code testing is only administered through the Codility platform.
• Location: Remote performance is expected, with consideration for candidates across the United States.
