Focus Areas

• Workload assessment for research and industry teams
• Hybrid algorithm design
• Pilot scoping and technical proposals
• Benchmarks a customer can reproduce

Responsibilities

• Scope pilots with research and engineering teams
• Translate scientific problems into runnable QCOS workflows
• Support technical evaluations and proposals
• Report what customers need back to product and engineering

Requirements

• Experience in computational science, HPC or quantum computing
• Python and at least one quantum SDK
