Research Scientist – Reasoning Models for Physical Systems (AI Software Tools)
About Us: Anyon Systems is building the next generation of superconducting quantum computers. We design and operate full-stack quantum systems, from fabrication and cryogenics to control electronics, calibration, and software. What differentiates Anyon is execution speed, technical depth, and a relentless focus on making quantum hardware work in practice, not just on paper. Our Tel Aviv R&D center is a critical powerhouse driving Anyon Systems’ global quantum roadmap. Far from a traditional satellite office, this strategic hub owns the core pillars of our technology: quantum control, calibration, benchmarking, and AI-first automation. We deliberately anchored this team in Israel to leverage the ecosystem’s unmatched pedigree in deep-tech execution, defense-grade engineering, and rigorous applied research. As a member of this team, you will operate with complete autonomy and high agency, directly shaping the flagship products deployed to our customers worldwide. Role Overview: This role focuses on developing reasoning-based models that can plan, infer, and make decisions in complex physical environments. You will work on AI systems that reason explicitly about experiments, constraints, and physical structure rather than relying on black-box optimization. Key Responsibilities: Design and implement reasoning and planning models for physical systems - Develop symbolic, probabilistic, or hybrid representations Build systems that select experiments and update beliefs under uncertainty - Integrate domain knowledge and constraints into AI architectures Collaborate with quantum control and calibration teams Qualifications: PhD or equivalent experience in AI, Computer Science, Robotics, or Physics - Background in reasoning systems, planning, causal inference, or Bayesian methods - Strong algorithmic and Python programming skills Experience applying AI to real-world systems is a strong plus What We Offer: Core technical roles in a rapidly scaling quantum hardware company Direct access to real, state-of-the-art quantum processors High autonomy, technical ownership, and short feedback loops Collaboration with world-class experimental, theoretical, and AI teams - Competitive Israeli-market compensation and meaningful equity Flexible work culture focused on results and execution Opportunity to shape the future architecture of quantum systems Security / Defense Backgrounds: Candidates with backgrounds in defense, aerospace, intelligence, secure systems, RF, real-time systems, or classified R&D environments are strongly encouraged to apply. Experience operating complex systems under strict performance, reliability, and security constraints is highly valued.
