Job summary

NVIDIA seeks a quantum computing expert to lead developer relations across the federal research community, driving adoption of the CUDA-Q, cuQuantum, CUDA-Q QEC, and NVQLink stacks.

You will build strategic partnerships with national labs and DoD/IC/NIST/NSF programs, run technical workshops, and translate research needs into production-ready workflows for NVIDIA software and hardware teams.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in physics, computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, chemistry, or a related field, or equivalent experience. PhD preferred.
• 8+ years of experience in quantum information science, with 5+ years in the quantum computing industry or at a national laboratory or similar research institution.
• Demonstrated technical expertise across quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, or quantum hardware and control systems, with the ability to maintain a credible conversation with a principal investigator.
• Hands‑on background in scientific computing, high‑performance computing, or GPU‑accelerated software development.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including public speaking to technical audiences.
• Willingness to travel frequently (approximately 40%) to national laboratories, federal sites, and conferences across the United States.
• This position requires U.S. citizenship and a security clearance. An active TS/SCI or DOE Q clearance is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Develop and sustain strong technical knowledge in quantum workloads important to the federal research community.
• Lead strategic collaborations with DOE national laboratories, the NQIS Research Centers, NNSA sites, and federally funded quantum programs across DoD, IC, NIST, and NSF.
• Partner with lab research teams and leadership computing facilities to plan, build, and embed the NVIDIA quantum stack into production research workflows.
• Conduct technical workshops, hackathons, and hands‑on training sessions at national labs, user facilities, and federal research venues.
• Represent NVIDIA at scientific and technical conferences such as SC, APS Global Physics Summit, and IEEE Quantum Week.
• Monitor the federal quantum landscape to identify new opportunities and deliver organized insights to NVIDIA engineering and product groups.
