Quantum Computer Scientist

Introduction
IBM Research Scientists are charting the future of Artificial Intelligence creating breakthroughs in quantum computing discovering how blockchain will reshape the enterprise and much more. Join a team that is dedicated to applying science to some of today’s most complex challenges whether it’s discovering a new way for doctors to help patients teaming with environmentalists to clean up our waterways or enabling retailers to personalize customer service.

Your Role and Responsibilities

The ideal candidates will possess a scientific &technical background that enables them to develop advanced Quantum algorithms and implementation them for industry applications.
The candidate will have the technical depth and “hands-on” experience with the current status of art in Quantum algorithm and develop a new type of Quantum algorithm to solve specific industry challenges.
Also the candidate should be able to communicate the difficult technical concept to key stakeholders such as scientists engineering teams and C-Level executives. This requires deep familiarity with classical state-of-the-art approaches to business problems as well as target use cases.
As the ideal candidate you will have familiarity with different classical approaches for optimization machine learning or/ and Chemistry from 5+ years of industry experience. You will also be an advisor to customers and internal teams; helping develop the quantum computing knowledge and skills of solutions architects as well as the technical field community.
This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of science and technological transformations as a key technical leader so the ideal candidates also possess not only a detail-oriented mindset but also strong creativity and communications skills coupled with interpersonal skills in leading other technical team members.
