## About the role

PsiQuantum is seeking a researcher to develop methods for quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) of large-scale quantum systems. The successful candidate will work on methods for reliably characterizing quantum channels and system-level behavior in regimes where direct reconstruction is impossible. This includes developing scalable protocols, statistical analysis techniques, and simulation methods that connect experimental data to actionable conclusions about quantum performance. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field
- Experience characterizing or modeling quantum channels, noisy quantum circuits, quantum processes, or quantum error mechanisms
- Experience developing numerical simulations for quantum systems, quantum circuits, or noisy quantum processes
- Programming experience for scientific computing and data analysis, preferably in Python
- Ability to reason quantitatively about uncertainty, noise, finite statistics, model mismatch, and scalability
- Ability to work independently on open-ended technical problems while collaborating effectively with specialists across multiple disciplines
