Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Systems Engineer

     Position: Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Systems Engineer 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 a Systems Engineer to support the AFRL (Airforce Research Laboratory) in Rome, New York and other DoD and Performer locations across the country. While a research background is a valuable skillset for this position, the objective is evaluation, not research. This position will work closely with DARPA’s cross-organizational Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) AFRL 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. International travel is required for some Performers on this project. 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.
