Quantum Engineer – Quantum Computing & AI Applications (Senior)

EY Consulting Digital Engineering is seeking a talented and driven Quantum Engineer to join our next-generation innovation team. With 4–6 years of experience in quantum computing, machine learning, and AI integration, you will be at the forefront of building and deploying cutting-edge quantum-enabled solutions that solve complex industry challenges. Your technical acumen, curiosity, and problem-solving mindset will help shape scalable applications that leverage the power of emerging quantum technologies.

The Opportunity

As a Quantum Engineer, you will be part of a specialized team solving real-world problems using quantum algorithms, simulators, and AI-driven approaches. This is a high-impact opportunity to work at the intersection of theoretical research and practical engineering, collaborating with clients, researchers, and cross-functional teams to prototype and operationalize quantum solutions across domains like optimization, cryptography, material science, and machine learning.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement quantum algorithms using platforms such as Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, or Braket, aligned to client and industry use cases.
  • Integrate AI/ML models with quantum circuits or hybrid systems to demonstrate real-world quantum advantage.
  • Evaluate and compare performance across quantum simulators and hardware backends, optimizing code for noise resilience and scalability.
  • Work closely with data science and cloud teams to build hybrid quantum-classical workflows using cloud-native environments (AWS Braket, Azure Quantum, 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 and MVPs.
  • Contribute to technical documentation, research papers, whitepapers, and client presentations.
  • Stay on the cutting edge of quantum computing advancements, ensuring EY’s solutions remain future-ready and aligned with the technology roadmap.

Soft Skills

  • Strong analytical and abstract reasoning skills, able to work through complex, multidimensional problems.
  • Excellent communication skills—capable of translating advanced technical content into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.
  • A collaborative mindset with the ability to work in fast-paced, multidisciplinary teams.
  • Curiosity and passion for emerging tech—especially quantum’s role in shaping the future of computation.

To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have

  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Quantum Information, or a related technical discipline.
  • 4–6 years of hands-on experience in quantum computing tools and libraries like Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, t|ket>, or Braket.
  • Proven experience integrating AI/ML techniques (e.g., neural networks, reinforcement learning, optimization algorithms) with quantum computing platforms.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, with a focus on algorithm development, simulation, and performance optimization.
  • Experience with cloud platforms supporting quantum compute (AWS Braket, Azure Quantum, or IBM Quantum Experience).
  • Exposure to building hybrid systems combining classical and quantum processing for real-world applications.

Ideally, You’ll Also Have

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

What Working At EY Offers

At EY, we invest in the future—and that includes you. You’ll work on next-gen technology initiatives that blend deep science with business strategy, helping build the foundation of quantum-powered enterprises. As part of our fast-growing innovation group, you’ll have access to mentorship, collaborative R&D environments, and opportunities to make a lasting impact.

EY offers:

  • A vibrant, innovation-driven culture committed to deep tech transformation.
  • Access to leading quantum hardware and simulation environments.
  • Opportunities for professional growth, technical training, and industry exposure.
  • A collaborative ecosystem where your contributions fuel real business change.
