## Description

Qubit Systems Laboratory (QSL)is a world leader in semiconductor spin qubits. Our broad expertise spans semiconductor growth, device design and modeling, cryogenic control, high-density interconnects and packaging, quantum architecture, and multiqubit demonstrations. Our system architecture is built entirely around scalable semiconductor manufacturing to make quantum computing affordable for practical business and scientific applications.
Essential Duties

 * Lead and contribute directly to the design, analysis, and validation of architectures, protocols, and system-level approaches for quantum information science applications.
 * Develop and evaluate fault-tolerance methods, error-correction frameworks, and architectural strategies for scalable quantum information processing.
 * Perform mathematical modeling, algorithmic development, and numerical analysis to assess quantum protocols, algorithms, and architectural trade-offs, including use of AI/ML techniques when appropriate for physics-driven research workflows.
 * Investigate resource, performance, and structural considerations across quantum algorithms, quantum error-correction codes, noise models, and operational constraints.
 * Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams-including theorists, applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and experimental physicists-to ensure architectural concepts align with system requirements.
 * Provide technical and personnel leadership across quantum information theory, algorithms, and architecture development, including guiding research directions and mentoring junior team members.
 * Produce high-quality technical documents such as papers, architectural analyses, reports, and research proposals.
 * Present complex concepts and results to internal teams, leadership, external collaborators, and research sponsors.
 * Contribute to technical road-mapping and long-term planning for quantum information architectures.
 * Support collaborative research efforts, proposal development, and sponsor engagement.
