      Position: Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Researcher      Beware of fraudulent job offers and postings!    Technergetics will never extend an offer of employment without a thorough interview process involving face to face interviews either in-person or a virtual Teams meeting from an official Technergetics email address ( @techngs.com ). If you receive any correspondence from an email other than  techngs.com , it is a scam. Pre-interview code testing is only administered through the  Codility   platform. We will not send out questionnaires or testing through any other platform/site prior to a first interview.     Opportunity Overview:   Technergetics is seeking to hire   u p to five mid-level to senior-level  Physicists, Mathematicians, Logisticians, Computer Scientists, Computer Engineers, Systems Engineers, and Operations Research experts. While a research background is a valuable and applicable skillset for these positions, the objective of them is evaluation, not research. These positions will work closely with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)’s cross-organizational Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) team to review, validate, and document approaches enabling revolutionary advances in design, engineering, testing, and evaluation in the domain of fault-tolerant quantum computing and exploring computational workflows that include quantum computing procedures. The primary goal of the QBI program is to determine if any emerging approaches to quantum computing can achieve industrially useful operation exponentially faster than conventional predictions.    Position Details        Salary Range:   $75,000-$150,000 annually. The successful candidate’s salary will heavily depend on how many position qualifications the candidate meets, in addition to education and experience. This is a full-time exempt position.    Remote performance is expected for this position and Technergetics will consider candidates from across the United States. Regardless of location, a successful candidate can expect to travel to the Washington DC area (DARPA), and Support or Performer sites across the country 10%-40% of any given month. Daily activities include frequent VTC meetings and may also require limited/periodic nonstandard work hours to accommodate meetings with team members and Performers across multiple time zones.   Responsibilities and Duties      The day-to-day activities of DARPA’s QBI team include performing tasks to identify, select, capture, evaluate, and document the metrics and approaches that DARPA’s commercial Performers are developing and applying to build fault-tolerant, utility-scale quantum computers (USQC). The QBI team is responsible for generating and executing plans to assess the timeline, performance and operation metrics, and plausibility of each Performer’s technology. Candidates will verify a Performer’s ability to build a USQC that operates as intended, and they will document, report, and justify the findings. Typical work can be divided into three categories:  1. Review and Evaluation Rapidly digest large quantities of complex Performer-specific technical details, perform relevant independent evaluations, and generate standardized Government artifacts summarizing independent assessments of that material Evaluate quantum computing architectures, devices, algorithms, and applications including utility and maturity Identify Performer subsystems and components required to successfully design and construct the system Discover, develop, implement, execute, evaluate, analyze, articulate, and justify models and simulations at the component, subsystem, and system levels Assess DARPA and Performer requirements; capture and document the level of maturity of these elements Identify, assess, and captu
