Senior Quantum Error Correction Scientist / Lead
Responsibilities
- Lead the development and implementation of quantum error correction (QEC) strategies for a next-generation quantum computing platform.
- Design, evaluate, and optimize quantum error-correcting codes, logical qubit architectures, and decoding algorithms for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing.
- Define physical qubit performance requirements needed to achieve fault-tolerant operation and inform future hardware architecture and qubit topology.
- Conduct research to improve the performance, scalability, and efficiency of fault-tolerant quantum computing systems while remaining at the forefront of advances in quantum error correction.
- Develop simulations incorporating realistic noise models, quantum error correction protocols, and fault-tolerant computational techniques.
- Produce and maintain technical documentation including architecture specifications, design documents, and validation plans.
- Work closely with cross-functional engineering, hardware, software, and theory teams to ensure seamless integration of fault-tolerant architectures.
- Collaborate with algorithm and theory researchers to develop new quantum error correction techniques and implement algorithms on logical qubits.
- Present technical results internally and externally through publications, conference presentations, and technical seminars.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
