About Riverlane Riverlane's mission is to make quantum computing useful, sooner. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction stack, Deltaflow, to make this happen. It's a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion.
We recently raised $75M in Series C funding to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), and are partnering with many of the world\'s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We're making remarkable progress and growing fast.
About The Role As quantum computing enters a new phase the QEC era, Riverlane's customers are integrating Deltaflow with their existing quantum computing control systems, and demonstrating the first steps toward error-correcting capability. We're excited to launch this QEC Applications Scientist opportunity, which will play a critical role in the QEC journey for our customers and partners. Working closely with Riverlane's customers and leveraging the learnings from our work with varied quantum computing systems, you will be instrumental in supporting each customer to achieve their first QEC results.
What You Will Do As QEC Applications Scientist, you will be responsible for supporting Riverlane's customers and partners on their QEC experimental journey, starting from their first QEC results. You will gain exposure to different qubit architectures and their QEC considerations. Using your background in quantum computing and quantum error correction, and your publications, you will accelerate the progress toward fault-tolerance.
Enable our North America-based customers (predominantly US) with varied qubit architectures to achieve successful QEC demonstrations using Riverlane's quantum error correction system (Deltaflow)
Use Deltaflow and Riverlane's software tools for rapid QEC experiment prototyping in collaboration with our customers
Present QEC integration and experimentation results externally, including at conferences and through publications
Influence Deltaflow's product development by advocating for the needs of our customers
Work with stakeholders across Riverlane to influence the creation of educational content that can accelerate a new QEC customer's journey
Champion a culture where Riverlane shares the QEC success stories of customers
Requirements What we need
Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, experimental physics (or related field)
Proven experience with quantum error correction or related research and experimentation experience (in industry or academia)
Proven experience with computational tools for scientific research in quantum computing (or related field)
Familiarity with qubit architectures and considerations for NISQ and QEC experiments
Ability and willingness to travel within North America (mainly the US) to customer and partner sites
Strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to discuss complex ideas with a variety of audiences, in a clear and simple way
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment
A passion for learning and a curious, solution-oriented mindset
Even better if you have
Strong track record of working collaboratively with research and product development teams to enable customers and partners
Experience in stim (strongly preferred) and/or other QEC tools, especially in a quantum computing experimental setting
Familiarity with quantum error correction concepts and protocols
Benefits What can you expect from us
A comprehensive benefits package that includes an annual bonus scheme, private health insurance, life insurance and a contributory retirement fund.
Equity, so that our team can share in the long-term success of Riverlane
Generous annual leave and enhanced family leave
A diverse work environment that brings together experts in many fields (including software and hardware development, quantum information theory, physics and maths) and over 20 different nationalities
A learning environment that encourages individual, team and company growth and learning, including an annual training and conference budget.
