Research Scientist – AI for Quantum

About Us:

Anyon Systems is building the next generation of superconducting quantum computers. We design and operate full-stack quantum systems, from fabrication and cryogenics to control electronics, calibration, and software. What differentiates Anyon is execution speed, technical depth, and a relentless focus on making quantum hardware work in practice, not just on paper. Our Tel Aviv R&D center is a critical powerhouse driving Anyon Systems’ global quantum roadmap. Far from a traditional satellite office, this strategic hub owns the core pillars of our technology: quantum control, calibration, benchmarking, and AI-first automation. We deliberately anchored this team in Israel to leverage the ecosystem’s unmatched pedigree in deep-tech execution, defense-grade engineering, and rigorous applied research. As a member of this team, you will operate with complete autonomy and high agency, directly shaping the flagship products deployed to our customers worldwide.

Role Overview:

This role focuses on developing reasoning-based models, and Agentic AI systems that can plan, infer, and make decisions in complex physical environments. You will work on AI systems that reason explicitly about experiments, constraints, and physical structure rather than relying on black-box optimization.

Qualifications:

We are looking for experienced AI researchers with a quantum computing background, or quantum physicists with a strong AI background.

• At least a Master's / PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Quantum Physics, or a closely related field.
• AI track: Several years of experience in AI/LLM model development — fine-tuning, training, and/or inference on large GPU clusters
• Physics track: Several years of experience in quantum computing, quantum simulation development, or compiler design
• Familiarity with quantum computing tools such as Qiskit, Pennylane, Cirq, or similar platforms
• Must be able to write original research / file patents and present at conferences, workshops, and seminars.
• Excellent programming skills in Python and / or Juia, and command of Codex CLI and/or Claude CLI.
• Experience using ML frameworks such as JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow, and scientific software such as NumPy, SciPy, or Pandas.
• A great + if you are able to train AI models for inference on quantum systems, hardware, and control and conduct novel research to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum simulation, quantum error correction, and /or qubit calibration.

What We Offer:

• Core technical roles in a rapidly scaling quantum hardware company
• Direct access to real, state-of-the-art quantum processors
• High autonomy, technical ownership, and short feedback loops
• Collaboration with world-class experimental, theoretical, and AI teams - Competitive Israeli-market compensation and meaningful equity
• Flexible work culture focused on results and execution
• Opportunity to shape the future architecture of quantum systems

Security / Defense Backgrounds: Candidates with backgrounds in defense, aerospace, intelligence, secure systems, RF, real-time systems, or classified R&D environments are strongly encouraged to apply. Experience operating complex systems under strict performance, reliability, and security constraints is highly valued.
