What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Quantum Cryptographer & Engineer position at Stealth Communications?
Stealth Communications is seeking multiple postdoctoral researchers to advance our quantum-secure communication protocols and systems, at the intersection of post-quantum and quantum cryptography. This role combines theoretical research and practical experimentation on Stealth's quantum optical testbed (~5000 km : land subsea assets), pushing the boundaries of cryptographic innovation.
This position requires security clearance and is based onsite in Pensacola, FL.
Qualifications :
- Required : An active, transferable TS / SCI CI Poly U.S. government-issued security clearance prior to commencement.
- PhD in Quantum Cryptography, Quantum Information Theory, or a closely related field.
- 5 years post-doctoral experience in a competitive quantum cryptography / information research group.
- Deep expertise in lattice-based cryptography, advanced encryption, and signature schemes.
- Working knowledge of semi-definite programming and numerical optimization techniques.
- Experience with fine-grained cryptography and impossibility results.
- Experience in designing and analyzing homomorphic, attribute-based, functional encryption, and signature schemes (e.g., ring, group, threshold).
- Published research in cryptography.
- In-depth knowledge of TCP / IP.
- Proficiency in C and ASM programming.
- Advanced technical knowledge in application and hardware security.
- Strongly preferred :
- Advanced technical knowledge in Electromagnetism and quantum algorithms / materials.
- Experience with quantum optics and laboratory apparatus, including SPDC entanglement sources, single-photon detectors, and Bell-state measurement systems.
- Expertise in low and room temperature qubit measurements, including MKS systems.
- Proficiency in cryogenics, lithography, and fiber optics.
- Experience with computer-aided design (CAD) for advanced quantum systems.
- Familiarity with NSTISSAM TEMPEST / 1-92 and CNSSAM TEMPEST / 01-02 specifications.
- Effectively communicate technical and non-technical information verbally and in writing to diverse audiences.
Responsibilities :
This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in quantum cryptography and secure communications technology for land, subsea, and space operations using Stealth's internal assets.
