About The Position

Sygaldry Technologies is seeking an exceptional scientist to serve as a Senior Quantum Architect. In this role, you will own the architectural vision for integrating multiple complementary qubit modalities into a fault-tolerant quantum computing system, bridging error correction theory with the realities of physical hardware. This is a rare opportunity to shape the foundational architecture of a new quantum computing paradigm.

Requirements

  • A PhD in physics, applied physics, computer science, electrical engineering, or an equivalent degree in a similar field
  • 8+ years of experience in quantum error correction and fault-tolerant architecture, including senior or lead roles
  • A strong publication record in quantum error correction, fault tolerance, or related fields
  • Demonstrated experience implementing and validating QEC or fault-tolerant protocols on real quantum hardware
  • Hands-on experience taking quantum technology from theory through deployment, ideally in an industry setting
  • Strong programming skills in a scientific computing environment
  • A proven track record of leading successful cross-team, multidisciplinary projects
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate architectural decisions to both technical and executive audiences

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the end-to-end fault-tolerant architecture for novel hardware spanning multiple qubit modalities, from QEC theory down to hardware-level implementation
  • Make and defend high-stakes architectural trade-offs across QEC codes and fault-tolerant logic under real device constraints and noise
  • Translate cutting-edge error correction theory into hardware-aware protocols validated on physical devices
  • Co-design the architecture with target applications in mind, tailoring fault-tolerant resource allocation and logical operations to quantum algorithms for AI and machine learning workloads
  • Establish the simulation, modeling, and benchmarking frameworks used to guide system design and de-risk the technical roadmap
  • Set technical direction and mentor a multidisciplinary team of experimental and theoretical physicists, engineers, and computer scientists

Benefits

  • Visa Sponsorship
  • Competitive salary
  • Meaningful equity
  • Company-sponsored health coverage
  • Unlimited PTO
