Position Summary

Do you have a passion for innovation and emerging technologies, along with deep expertise in quantum-inspired algorithms, tensor networks, and high-performance computing? Would you like to be part of the development of a new firm offering? We are currently seeking an experienced Senior Applied Research Scientist - Tensor Networks to help deliver advanced computational solutions for mission-relevant problems.

As Senior Research Scientist within the Research & Delivery workstream, you will contribute to research and development of advanced computational methods for national security applications.

You will investigate how tensor networks can advance modeling, simulation, uncertainty quantification, and decision-making for complex systems.

Working with researchers, engineers, and national security specialists, you will translate mission needs into mathematical problems, develop new algorithms, and establish where these methods deliver measurable improvements in accuracy, computational cost, or scale.

You will identify high-value, mission-relevant problems, formulate them for analysis, develop and optimize algorithms, and build rigorous, reproducible benchmarks that distinguish evidence from speculation.

You will provide technical contributions to government proposal writing.

You will translate validated research into prototypes, reusable software assets, technical roadmaps, and client recommendations while mentoring colleagues and raising standards for technical rigor, reproducibility, and communication.

This role requires candidates to possess or be willing to seek, obtain, and maintain a U.S.

government security clearance, as required for the work.

Recruiting for this role ends on 12/31/26.

Work You'll Do

Help build a research practice that extends tensor network methods beyond their established applications to address computational challenges in national security.

You will work with researchers, engineers, and mission specialists to identify promising problems, develop new methods, and translate research into capabilities that can be evaluated and used.
