PsiQuantum is hiring a computational chemist for its Quantum Solutions team in Palo Alto, on-site. The person will optimize electronic-structure and quantum-chemistry algorithms for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs and CPU-based HPC, profile kernels and data movement, and build classical–quantum pipelines that connect accelerated chemistry calculations with fault-tolerant quantum workflows. The posting asks for a PhD in computational chemistry, theoretical chemistry, computational physics, materials science, computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience. The role combines publishable research with robust scientific software for molecular and materials simulations.
