Full Job Description

Quantum Scientist - Applied QEC Boston, MA, US | Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid Salary: $135,000 to $170,000 DOE About us Riverlane’s mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry’s defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners 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 a Quantum Computing Scientist, you will work within Riverlane’s Research team, supporting our partners as they design, run and interpret quantum computing experiments, while also contributing to Riverlane’s internal research in QEC. Working with a diverse set of partners, you will gain exposure to different qubit architectures and develop an understanding of their respective QEC considerations. Using your knowledge of quantum computing, you will help translate experimental goals into practical implementations, analyze results, and share insights that inform both customer success and ongoing product and research development. Whilst this is a research-focused role, you will collaborate directly with customers to set up experiments, understand technical challenges, and support progress, as well as work closely with internal teams to resolve issues and advance projects. You will also represent Riverlane externally through conference attendance, presentations, and technical discussions. Strong communication
