Quantum Algorithm Researcher

Quantum X Labs (NASDAQ: QXL) is an Israeli full-spectrum quantum technology company, building across quantum computing, software & simulation, and sensing. As we grow, we're looking for a Quantum Algorithm Developer to help shape the next generation of our technology. The Role You'll design, develop, and refine quantum algorithms that move from theory toward real-world application. Our core work involves quantum simulations and error-correction algorithms, optimizing these models for specific physical hardware such as neutral-atom platforms. You'll work closely with our research-driven team, bridging rigorous science with practical implementation. Whom We're Looking For: Current M.Sc. students or M.Sc. graduates with a strong quantitative foundation, ideally combining two or more of the following fields: Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering. If you live at the intersection of these disciplines, for example, Physics & Mathematics, Computer Science & Physics, or Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, we'd love to hear from you. Key skills we're looking for: Machine Learning for Quantum Systems — hands-on experience with modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), ideally applied to physical or quantum problems such as neural-network decoders or noise characterization. Quantum Error Correction Fundamentals — working knowledge of QEC codes and the stabilizer formalism (e.g., surface codes, QLDPC), including decoding algorithms such as MWPM, union-find, or ML-based decoders. Quantum Simulation & Scientific Computing — proficiency with scientific Python (NumPy, SciPy) and quantum stacks such as Stim, Qiskit, or Cirq for simulating noisy circuits and benchmarking error-correction performance. What You Bring: A solid theoretical background and a genuine curiosity about quantum technology. While a strong theoretical foundation is our primary focus, experience translating theoretical models into clean, simulatable code is a significant advantage. Familiarity with numerical methods or programming (such as Python or C++) is a strong plus, but above all, we value how you think. Interested, or know someone who'd be a great fit?
