## Description

Quantum Dice is developing ORBIT, a new class of computing platform that combines quantum-enabled hardware with novel probabilistic architectures to address challenging optimisation, inference and AI workloads. Our technology has the potential to transform how organisations make decisions under uncertainty across defence, security and critical industries.

This is a technical, customer-facing role spanning our Solutions, Applied Research, Engineering and Commercial teams. Much of the work supports defence and national security customers on problems such as optimisation on real operational challenges.

What the Job Involves

 * Work with customers to identify high-value applications and translate their challenges into mathematical models.

 * Build prototypes and demonstrators on Quantum Dice's simulators, software stack and probabilistic processing unit hardware.

 * Apply optimisation, probabilistic inference and AI methods such as QUBO, Ising models and Bayesian networks.

 * Benchmark against classical solvers, CPUs and GPUs on solution quality, runtime and scalability.

 * Lead projects from requirements capture to pilot, delivering reports, demonstrations and proposals.

 * Work within defence constraints, including security classification, export control and data handling.

 * Collaborate with engineers and researchers, and feed customer needs into product and hardware roadmaps.
