- The projects you’ll focus on are primarily long-term internal R&D, with additional client and collaborator project work
- Create vision and roadmap for the subsegment of quantum machine learning algorithm research known as Quantum Neural Networks; this includes primarily regression tasks on multi-dimensional scalar input/output
- Work with our hardware teams to coordinate the fine-tuning of existing algorithms to our digital-analog approach, incorporating error-mitigation schemes, and develop novel quantum algorithms suitable particularly for neutral atom quantum processors.
- Work closely together with PASQAL’s use case teams to understand which application domains could potentially benefit from industrially relevant quantum advantage
- Support your quantum algorithm developers working on client projects, ensure alignment of project directions with research roadmap
- Support business development efforts by participating in technical presentations and preparatory discussions
- Help recruit and mentor a team of quantum developers
We'll provide training and provide technical experts as you get introduced to the company, algorithm portfolio and hardware specifics. Being a senior level role, having a thorough understanding and experience in general quantum computing and related technology will be required coming in on day 1.
This position will report directly to our Senior Vice President R&D: Algorithms & Use cases. The work will be based on site in our Amsterdam office (remote/hybrid option negotiable under exceptional circumstance).
Requirements
What you will need to be successful in this role coming in:
- 3+ years of work experience (academic or private sector) in applied research or computer science (applied mathematics, computational physics, computational research, machine learning, etc.)
- PhD in quantum or a related field (physics, engineering, computer science, applied mathematics etc.)
- Solid knowledge of the basic principles of quantum physics
- Solid knowledge of quantum computing and quantum machine learning (QML)
- Intermediate programming skills (Python preferred)
- Experience speaking in front of technical and non-technical audiences (ideally in an external customer facing role).
- Team spirit, ambitious, organized, pro-active, sense of urgency… a true pioneer!
- Proven professional experience as a leader and mentoring and growing junior team members

- English: strong professional communication skills in English is essential (written and oral).
Bonus points for:
- Julia programming experience
- Software project supervision, development (Project Management)
- Quantum SDK experience
- Experience working in a startup environment
Building on over 40 years of academic research, co-founded by Alain Aspect one of the 2022 Nobel Laureates in Physics, PASQAL is on track to commercialize a 1000-qubit quantum processor with scalable neutral atom technology and industrially relevant application development in a full-stack setup. This makes PASQAL one of the world-class key players in this quantum race. Will you join us?
