Join EY Consulting Digital Engineering as a Senior Quantum Engineer and be at the forefront of innovation in quantum computing and AI applications. With 4–6 years of experience, you will design, develop, and deploy cutting-edge quantum-enabled solutions to address complex industry challenges. This role is ideal for a curious and skilled engineer passionate about shaping the future of computation.

The Opportunity:
As a Quantum Engineer, you will be part of a specialized team leveraging quantum algorithms, simulators, and AI to solve real-world problems. You will collaborate with clients, researchers, and cross-functional teams to prototype and operationalize quantum solutions across domains such as optimization, cryptography, material science, and machine learning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement quantum algorithms using platforms like Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, or Braket for client use cases.
• Integrate AI/ML models with quantum circuits for hybrid quantum-classical systems.
• Evaluate and optimize performance across quantum simulators and hardware backends.
• Build hybrid quantum-classical workflows using cloud platforms like AWS Braket, Azure Quantum, or IBM Quantum.
• Translate complex quantum concepts into functional prototypes with measurable business outcomes.
• Collaborate with domain experts to define use cases, benchmark solutions, and guide PoCs/MVPs.
• Contribute to technical documentation, research papers, and client presentations.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in quantum computing.

Skills Required:

• Strong analytical and abstract reasoning skills.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborative mindset for fast-paced, multidisciplinary team environments.
• Curiosity and passion for emerging technologies, particularly quantum computing.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Quantum Information, or a related technical field.
• 4–6 years of hands-on experience with quantum computing tools and libraries (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, t|ket>, Braket).
• Proven experience integrating AI/ML techniques with quantum computing platforms.
• Strong Python programming skills for algorithm development and simulation.
• Experience with cloud platforms for quantum computing (AWS Braket, Azure Quantum, IBM Quantum).
• Exposure to building hybrid quantum-classical systems.

Ideal Candidate Will Also Have:

• Solid background in quantum mechanics, linear algebra, and information theory.
• Familiarity with variational quantum algorithms (VQE, QAOA), quantum annealing, or quantum kernel methods.
• Experience developing PoCs or MVPs in sectors like finance, supply chain, pharmaceuticals, or cybersecurity.
• Contributions to open-source quantum communities or published research.
• Knowledge of quantum error mitigation, fault-tolerant architectures, and benchmarking.

What EY Offers:

• An innovation-driven culture focused on deep tech transformation.
• Access to leading quantum hardware and simulation environments.
• Opportunities for professional growth, technical training, and industry exposure.
• A collaborative ecosystem to drive real business change.
