Senior Quantum Physics Grant Writer - Remote

**Company:** BW\&CO is a dynamic consulting firm where expertise meets impact—we help biotech startups and deep\-tech companies secure millions in federal funding. Join a team where precision matters, every project is unique, and your expertise helps transform innovative research ideas into funded realities. **Job Summary** We are seeking an experienced **Technical Grant Writer with specific expertise in quantum computing, quantum hardware systems, and physics\-driven R\&D projects.** This role is ideal for a writer who understands both the technical depth of quantum computing architectures — including qubit modalities, quantum error correction, fault\-tolerant systems, and utility\-scale quantum system design — and the strategic requirements of federal R\&D funding programs (e.g., DARPA OTAs, SBIR/STTR, DoD/DOE solicitations). The ideal candidate has a proven record of winning competitive grants and can translate complex quantum computing concepts into compelling, compliant, and persuasive proposal narratives. **Key Responsibilities** **Grant Proposal Development** * Research, write, and submit high\-quality federal R\&D grant proposals for quantum computing, quantum hardware, and physics\-centric projects * Develop complete proposal packages aligned with solicitation requirements and evaluation criteria **Technical \& Scientific Writing** * Translate complex quantum computing concepts — including qubit architectures, quantum error correction, fault\-tolerant gate operations, quantum algorithms, utility\-scale system design, and application domains such as quantum chemistry, materials simulation, and cryptography — into clear, compelling narratives * Articulate technical merit, innovation, feasibility, and commercialization potential **Proposal Package Preparation** * Write and coordinate all required proposal components, including: * Project narratives / technical sections * Commercialization plans * Supplementary and compliance documents **Collaboration \& Client Engagement** * Work closely with clients, subject\-matter experts, and internal project managers to gather technical inputs * Ensure technical accuracy, narrative consistency, and strategic alignment across proposal sections **Required Qualifications** **Education** * Master's degree required * PhD strongly preferred (Physics, Quantum Computing, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field) **Experience** * 4\+ years of professional scientific or technical grant writing experience * Demonstrated success securing federal funding for quantum computing, quantum hardware, or advanced physics R\&D projects **Technical Expertise** * Strong understanding of: * Quantum computing hardware architectures (e.g., superconducting qubits, trapped ions, photonic systems, neutral atoms, or topological approaches) * Quantum error correction, fault tolerance, and the path to utility\-scale operation * Federal R\&D grant and OTA requirements (e.g., DARPA, DOE
