About You:

Sygaldry Technologies is seeking an experienced scientist to serve as a Senior Quantum Error Correction Theorist. In this role, you will be responsible for developing quantum error correction schemes to integrate multiple complementary qubit modalities into a fault-tolerant architecture. This is a rare opportunity to join an early team and help lay the foundation for a new quantum computing paradigm.

About the Role

Responsibilities:

• Design and evaluate quantum error correction schemes for novel hardware architectures with multiple qubit modalities

• Develop efficient protocols for fault-tolerance under hardware-specific constraints and noise models

• Build simulation and modeling tools for system design and analysis

• Lead high-impact research projects with a multidisciplinary team of experimental and theoretical physicists, engineers, and computer scientists

Required Qualifications:

• PhD in physics, applied physics, computer science, electrical engineering, or an equivalent degree in a similar field

• 5-10 years of experience in quantum error correction

• Publications in quantum error correction or related fields

• Strong programming skills in a scientific computing environment

• Proven track record of successful cross-team collaborative projects

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience translating cutting-edge R&D into commercial products or roadmap milestones

• Experience deploying quantum error correction schemes on real quantum devices

• Experience translating abstract models of error correction into hardware-aware protocols

• Experience with decoding
