Quantum Computing SME

The Challenge:

What if you could use your scientific and engineering skills to inform advanced research projects in quantum computing? As a quantum scientist, you understand the challenges, opportunities, and limitations in developing quantum computing systems. That knowledge is key when it comes to assisting the U.S. Government with quantum computing technologies.

On our team, you will have the opportunity to work with world-class scientists and engineers to evaluate and advance cutting-edge quantum technologies. You will leverage technical expertise to support senior Government decision-makers with the strategic evaluation of new concepts and assessments of technological gaps. You will support our client's mission by providing recommendations on the feasibility and potential impact of current and future quantum capabilities through preparing in-depth analyses, conducting background research, and interfacing with the R&D community. This position is a hybrid role with a combination of working at a Booz Allen office or client site and working remotely.
