Lead Quantum Dynamics Scientist — Spin Qubits

Diraq; Sydney; On-site; AUD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Stunning central Sydney CBD office

Paid time off to volunteer

Employee equity program eligibility

Work with world-leading quantumists

High-impact environment with growth

Front-row exposure to breakthrough科技

Job summary

Diraq is engineering a path to millions of qubits on a single chip using silicon CMOS. Join our theory team to build simulations that help understand, design and scale fault-tolerant quantum computers.

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of quantum physics, modelling and experimental insight. You will partner closely with measurement and engineering teams to turn complex spin-qubit behaviour into practical understanding and improved simulation capability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or doctorate in physics, electrical engineering or a closely related field.
• Hands-on experience modelling spin systems and simulating their dynamics.
• Working knowledge of master-equation formalisms, open quantum systems and numerical methods.
• Strong scientific programming skills, particularly in Python.
• Collaborative approach and ability to tackle open-ended research problems across physics and engineering.

Responsibilities

• Lead simulation studies of spin transport and time-dependent spin dynamics in silicon spin-qubit systems.
• Develop, validate and improve computational models of open quantum systems, including noise and decoherence.
• Collaborate with experimentalists to analyse and interpret measurement data, test hypotheses and guide future experiments.
• Build reusable simulation workflows that support device understanding and the development of fault-tolerant quantum computing.
• Communicate findings clearly across theory, measurement and engineering teams.
