As of Jul 10, 2026, the average yearly pay for remote quantum computing in the United States is $122,251.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $75,000.00 and $156,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a Remote Quantum Computing job?

A Remote Quantum Computing job involves researching, developing, or applying quantum computing technologies while working from a remote location. Professionals in this field may work on quantum algorithms, quantum hardware, or software development for quantum computers. Roles often include quantum researchers, software engineers, or data scientists specializing in quantum applications. These jobs typically require expertise in quantum mechanics, linear algebra, and programming languages like Python or Qiskit. Many companies and research institutions offer remote opportunities due to the growing demand for quantum expertise globally.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Remote Quantum Computing position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Remote Quantum Computing, you need strong knowledge of quantum mechanics, algorithms, and programming languages such as Python or Qiskit, usually supported by an advanced degree in physics, computer science, or a related field. Familiarity with quantum computing platforms like IBM Quantum Experience or Microsoft Azure Quantum, and certifications in quantum computing, can be beneficial. Exceptional problem-solving abilities, effective communication skills, and self-motivation are vital soft skills for success in a remote setting. These competencies ensure you can design, test, and collaborate on complex quantum solutions while effectively contributing to dispersed teams.

What are some typical challenges faced when working remotely in quantum computing?

One of the main challenges is collaborating effectively with colleagues across different time zones, which requires clear communication and planning to keep projects on track. You may also encounter difficulties accessing specialized quantum computing hardware, as much of the work happens through cloud-based simulators and limited direct hardware access. Staying current with this rapidly evolving field requires ongoing self-education and initiative. However, most teams foster a supportive environment through regular virtual meetings, mentorship, and shared documentation to help overcome these challenges.

Job description

Quantum Optical Engineer - LiDAR, Vibrometry, and Entangled Communication Systems  


Location: Hoboken, NJ 07030

Division: CTO

Department: Optical Engineering

Reports to: Manager Optical Engineering

About Us


Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) (Nasdaq: QUBT) is an innovative, integrated photonics company that provides accessible and affordable quantum machines to the world today. QCi products are designed to operate at room temperature and low power at an affordable cost. The Company's portfolio of core technology and products offer unique capabilities in the areas of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, cyber security as well as remote sensing applications.


Position Description 


The Quantum Optical Engineer will contribute to the design, development, testing, and optimization of QCi's advanced remote sensing and secure communication systems. This role combines hands-on laboratory work with system-level optical design, supporting products from initial concept through production.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in optical engineering, photonics, quantum optics, and optoelectronics, along with experience testing and troubleshooting optical systems and analyzing experimental data. Working closely with a cross-disciplinary engineering team, this individual will help improve system performance, reliability, and scalability, while also contributing to quality assurance processes and workflow improvements.

This position is based in Hoboken, NJ, with optional partial work-from-home flexibility. Occasional business travel (less than 10%) may be required. We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, growing environment and is eager to apply optical engineering principles to real-world, cutting-edge technologies.


Duties and Responsibilities

  • Design and development of optical setups for LiDAR experiments, including beam shaping, collimation, and range-gating techniques. 

  • Development and testing of single-photon sensitive vibrometer and communications systems. 

  • Experimental validation and characterization of optical components and subsystems. 

  • Support of research on optical fault detection methodologies based on vibrometry. 

  • Development of recording techniques for entangled photons used in secure communication and data processing systems.

  • Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (G R & R) testing to ensure measurement consistency and reliability in field and lab environments. 

  • Collaborations with multi-disciplinary teams (hardware, software, firmware) to refine system performance. 


Required Skills and Experience


  • Master's or PhD degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Photonics, or equivalent experience. 

  • 3-5 years Hands-on experience with laser systems, free-space optics, and fiber optics. 

  • Background in optoelectronics and WDM techniques for telecom applications.

  • Familiarity with LiDAR principles, time-of-flight measurements, and single-photon detection. 

  • Experience with optical metrology and statistical measurement systems analysis (G R & R studies). 


Incumbent(s) in this position may be required to perform other duties and special assignments not specifically stated above.
