Developer Relations Manager, Quantum Computing

Role Description

We're looking for a passionate quantum computing expert to lead developer relations across the federal research community. In this role, you will:

• Develop and sustain strong technical knowledge in quantum workloads important to the federal research community, including:
  • Large-scale circuit and device-level simulation
  • Quantum error correction with real-time decoding
  • Hybrid quantum-classical algorithm development
  • QPU integration with high-performance computing systems
• Lead strategic collaborations with:
  • DOE national laboratories
  • NQIS Research Centers
  • NNSA sites
  • Federally funded quantum programs across DoD, IC, NIST, and NSF
• Identify high-impact problems NVIDIA is uniquely positioned to solve.
• Partner with lab research teams and leadership computing facilities to plan, build, and embed the NVIDIA quantum stack into production research workflows.
• Conduct technical workshops, hackathons, and hands-on training sessions at national labs, user facilities, and federal research venues.
• Represent NVIDIA at scientific and technical conferences such as SC, APS Global Physics Summit, and IEEE Quantum Week.
• Monitor the federal quantum landscape to identify new opportunities in:
  • Quantum simulation for materials and high-energy physics
  • Large-scale quantum error correction
  • AI applied to quantum computing
  • Quantum digital twins
• Deliver organized insights to NVIDIA engineering and product groups to support the CUDA-Q, CUDA-Q QEC, Ising, and NVQLink roadmaps.
• Engage senior technical leaders, including division directors, principal investigators, chief scientists, and program managers.
• Collaborate to address architectural challenges such as:
  • QPU-GPU integration
  • Real-time control
  • Decoding latency
  • The transition to fault tolerance

Qualifications

• Master's degree in physics, computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, chemistry, or a related field, or equivalent experience. PhD preferred.
• 8+ years of experience in quantum information science, with 5+ years in the quantum computing industry or at a national laboratory or similar research institution.
• Demonstrated technical expertise across quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, or quantum hardware and control systems.
• Hands-on background in scientific computing, high-performance computing, or GPU-accelerated software development.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including public speaking to technical audiences.
• Willingness to travel frequently (approximately 40%) to national laboratories, federal sites, and conferences across the United States.
• This position requires U.S. citizenship and a security clearance. An active TS/SCI or DOE Q clearance is strongly preferred.

Requirements

• Prior experience working at or with a DOE national laboratory, an NQIS Research Center, or other federal institution — particularly hands-on time at a leading computing facility.
• Familiarity with federal research funding, procurement, and collaboration mechanisms.
• Prior developer relations, technical evangelism, or solutions architecture experience in a research-facing role.
• Experience with quantum control stacks, QPU calibration, or real-time systems.

Benefits

• Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is:
  • 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5
  • 272,000 USD - 431,250 USD for Level 6
• You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
