The Applied Machine Learning Engineer will be a member of Terra Quantum's AI Applied Research team. This team builds and delivers end-to-end machine learning solutions for industrial clients across time series forecasting, optimisation, computer vision, natural language processing, and generative AI. The Engineer will own the classical machine learning craftsmanship that makes those solutions work, from data exploration and feature engineering through to model selection, hyperparameter optimisation, training pipelines, evaluation, and client delivery. A subset of the models built by the team incorporate a quantum layer; the Engineer is expected to treat that layer as one architectural component of an otherwise classical pipeline, and to apply the full toolkit of classical ML methods (including tree-based methods, boosting, deep learning, and classical optimisation) to make hybrid solutions perform reliably on real industrial data. The Applied Machine Learning Engineer plays a role in driving excellence within their team. They are not only detail-oriented but also possess a remarkable capacity for enthusiasm. By demonstrating commitment and passion for the mission, they inspire their team members to contribute to making quantum technologies widely accessible and to effect positive change globally.
Quantum technologies have the potential to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. There have been great advances in all areas of quantum technologies, and new fields of application are opened up every day. Hybrid computer systems that combine classic high-performance computing with quantum computers are already being used to develop solutions in sectors such as logistics, healthcare, finance, energy, automotive and aerospace. Quantum mechanical predictions are also used to obtain unprecedented precision in measurements, generate unbreakable codes, and form the basis of impenetrable communication networks. All these developments are happening right now, and they are happening at Terra Quantum. At Terra Quantum we are building the world’s leading Quantum Technology company. We offer customers world-class quantum technology expertise organized as “quantum-as-a-service”: hybrid quantum algorithms, quantum compute and quantum enabled security solutions. Through the proprietary quantum cloud, customers have access to a unique technology platform which provides a toolset to solve real-world challenges in the realms of machine learning, optimization and simulation, today. In 2022, the company closed its Series A financing round with a $75m fundraise. Quantum physics has, in some respects, parallels to the machine language of our computers-the zeros and ones into which our keyboard or touchscreen instructions are translated for execution in the computer-only on a larger scale: it is the machine language of the universe. The second quantum revolution is based on the control of individual quantum systems, such as individual atoms. We use quantum computers to solve currently unsolvable
