System Modeling Lead

Job Summary

To build predictive system-level models of quantum computers, the full-time System Modeling and Simulation Lead will develop models based on photonic and electronic system descriptions, translate performance metrics, and create user-friendly interfaces for cross-functional teams.

Key responsibilities

• Build predictive system-level quantum performance models by interpreting component performance and system configurations
• Develop coherent, reusable system abstractions that support control and validation workflows while masking unnecessary implementation details
• Drive model validation and closure by partnering with teams to compare model predictions against real measurements and quantify prediction errors

Required qualifications

• MS in Systems Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related field with 10+ years of relevant experience, or PhD with 6+ years of experience
• Strong foundation in systems modeling for complex, multi-domain physical systems and understanding of signal processing
• Advanced proficiency in Python scientific computing and experience with production-quality simulation software
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills for explaining technical concepts to diverse audiences
• Intellectually curious mindset, comfortable working across abstraction levels and iterating designs based on evolving data
