Staff Firmware Engineer
PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum closed a $1 billion funding round that valued the company at $7 billion. In 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a $100 million Letter of Intent under the CHIPS and Science Act, followed by a $125 million agreement with DARPA under Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, PsiQuantum's most valuable U.S. government agreement to date. This year, we also broke ground on our utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, Australia, and continued building out our Chicago site. Victor Peng, our CEO, and co-founder Jeremy O'Brien, now Executive Chairman, lead a team and board that reflects how seriously the world is taking this build, joined this year by Intel's Lip-Bu Tan and Atomico's Niklas Zennström. PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift, and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we now have the funding, the government validation, and the sites under construction to make it real.

Director, Electro-Optical Validation
PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum closed a $1 billion funding round that valued the company at $7 billion. In 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a $100 million Letter of Intent under the CHIPS and Science Act, followed by a $125 million agreement with DARPA under Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, PsiQuantum's most valuable U.S. government agreement to date. This year, we also broke ground on our utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, Australia, and continued building out our Chicago site. Victor Peng, our CEO, and co-founder Jeremy O'Brien, now Executive Chairman, lead a team and board that reflects how seriously the world is taking this build, joined this year by Intel's Lip-Bu Tan and Atomico's Niklas Zennström.

Staff Project Manager AI product engineering
PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum closed a $1 billion funding round that valued the company at $7 billion. In 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a $100 million Letter of Intent under the CHIPS and Science Act, followed by a $125 million agreement with DARPA under Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, PsiQuantum's most valuable U.S. government agreement to date. This year, we also broke ground on our utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, Australia, and continued building out our Chicago site. Victor Peng, our CEO, and co-founder Jeremy O'Brien, now Executive Chairman, lead a team and board that reflects how seriously the world is taking this build, joined this year by Intel's Lip-Bu Tan and Atomico's Niklas Zennström. PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift, and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we now have the funding, the government validation, and the sites under construction to make it real. Job Summary: We are seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to lead the cross-functional development and delivery of complex silicon photonics systems from engineering development through system integration, qualification, manufacturing, and production.

In 2025, the company achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, setting a world record in quantum computing performance . Headquartered in College Park, Maryland, IonQ has operations in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Washington, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Our quantum computing services are available through all major cloud providers, while we also meet the needs of networking and sensing customers across land, sea, air, and space. IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before. Role Overview Role: We are looking for a customer obsessed, systems minded product leader to build the vision and specifications for the software and tooling that will deliver the best quantum fleet management in the world, for IonQ and for our customers. As a Senior Staff Product Manager within IonQ's Quantum Computing product family, you will join a cross functional team whose mission is to build and deliver the world's best quantum computers to solve the world's most complex problems. In this role, you will own Fleet Management and the platform that enables it as a product offering. That covers telemetry and observability, remote management, incident response and planned service, together with integration into the commercial operations, deployment and logistics information and tools that let IonQ grow from per system, per site operations to high leverage, coordinated management of every system we deploy, wherever it lives. Fleet management is both a product area and part of what we sell. Once a system is delivered, on a customer site or in our own cloud, our managed service keeps it running for the life of the contract. Today that work is done well by skilled people, but the tooling behind it was not built to scale. You will turn it into a first class offering, where uptime is treated as a design requirement and is achieved through great tools rather than heroics. This is a global remit. As our fleet grows across North America, Europe and Asia, you will help us move to a follow the sun model, supporting systems from a small number of operations centres rather than placing people at every site. Responsibilities: You will start by treating the people who run and support our systems as your customers: internal and customer fleet operations, reliability, commercial operations, service and support. You will spend real time alongside them to learn how they work today, where the toil, blind spots and heroics are, and what good would look like for each of them, and you will build a strong point of view on what it takes to run a resilient, highly available global fleet of quantum computers. You will immerse yourself in IonQ's system architecture, control and classical infrastructure, data pipelines, build and maintenance motions, and the current state of our tooling. Working closely with resilience, operations and engineering leads, you will understand what is possible, what is already in flight and where the constraints sit, and you will turn a diffuse set of pains and desires into a clear vision and roadmap. From there, you will lead cross functional efforts to simplify, streamline and ship. Where we build, you will partner with SRE and engineering to define requirements, sequence work and land it. Where we buy, you will drive selection and rollout. Where the gap is process or communication, you will work with the PMO and the teams involved to improve it, and you will establish clear interfaces between Compute Products and the operations and commercial teams who depend on this tooling. You will instrument what you ship, using feedback, support volume, incident and availability data and resolution metrics to understand whether the tools are working and where to go next. You will also help feed what we learn about operability and maintainability back into how we design and ship the next hardware generation, and begin extending the platform to customers as they take on more of their own system operation. Key responsibilities include: - Build a deep understanding of how internal and customer fleet operations, reliability, service and support teams run our systems today, and where they need better tools - Define and own the vision and roadmap for fleet management across telemetry and observability, operator and back office tools, SLA, SLO and availability tracking, sparing and maintenance planning - Establish north star metrics for fleet health and operational effectiveness, and make them visible across the company - Lead build and buy decisions with SRE, engineering and the PMO, and set clear interfaces between Compute Products and the teams who depend on this tooling - Use incident, availability and support data to iterate, feed operability lessons into future hardware generations and extend the platform to customers Requirements: To be successful in this role, you will bring substantial experience in technical product management, ideally with direct ownership of internal platforms, operational tooling or infrastructure software. Most great product managers did something else first, and here we are especially interested in people whose earlier careers were in engineering, fleet or network operations, process engineering or systems engineering, so that they understand what operational data is for and how the day to day workflow really runs. You will be a high agency, high accountability product leader who brings your own energy to an ambiguous area and drives impact through persistence and adaptability. This is a product leadership role rather than an operations or programme management role: we want someone who thinks about fleet management as an offering and a book of work, not someone who carries out the hands on management themselves. You will have enough technical fluency to work directly with SREs and engineers on telemetry, process flows, data pipelines and API surfaces as first class products, and the empathy to sit shoulder to shoulder with the people who keep complex systems running. Experience of low volume, high complexity frontier technology, from R&D through to first deployments, will serve you well here. Communication matters a great deal in this role. You will need excellent written and verbal communication, with a proven ability to explain complex topics clearly to technical and non technical audiences, from engineering teams to company leadership and customers. You do not need a background in quantum computing; we care more about how you think, how you learn and how you lead. You’d be a great fit with: - A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Operations Research or a related technical field, or equivalent experience, with 12+ years in technical product management or equivalent roles - Product experience with private cloud deployments, scientific computing or high performance computing platforms, including their tools, users, business models and operational challenges - Experience building or scaling tooling for distributed, high value physical infrastructure, such as data centre or HPC operations platforms, DCIM or observability stacks, or remote field service for scientific instruments or connected hardware - Experience with AI tooling and workflows, both for rapid prototyping and for predictive, self healing or agentic product offerings - Experience taking internal tools through to customer facing products, familiarity with quantum computing or deep tech R&D, or experience leading and mentoring other product managers The total compensation package includes base salary, bonus, equity, and a range of benefits available on our career site. Compensation will vary based on individual factors such as education, qualifications, and experience of the final candidate(s), specific office location, and calibration against relevant market data and internal team equity. Posted base salary figures are subject to change as new market data becomes available.

IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before. Location: Oxford, England Travel: As needed Job ID: 1905 The Role: We are looking for a Technical Programme Manager to join the Quantum Systems Infrastructure (QSI) team at IonQ's Oxford office. QSI builds and runs the platform our next-generation quantum computers are built, tested, released and operated on, from bare metal in the lab to cloud, working across both Oxford and the US. Your mission is to run the machinery that keeps QSI’s portfolio visible, planned and unblocked so engineers can engineer, leaders can lead, and the business always knows what is changing and why it matters. You will work very closely with the Technical Programme Managers in the Software and Science teams, ensuring our processes and workflows complement and integrate with their work, rather than duplicating effort. We run a centralised PMO operating model at IonQ which you will be a core part of though on a day to day basis you will work alongside the QSI team. As part of this model, this role will not make technical decisions, own engineering headcount, or define product but it will make the programme around those things run. Responsibilities : You will own programme execution across QSI’s delivery streams, translating a leadership-visible roadmap into clear plans, measurable milestones and predictable delivery. You will create and run the operating rhythm that keeps teams aligned and leaders informed. When priorities shift, you will implement structure to that ambiguity, clarifying scope, coordinating trade-offs and pushing problems to resolution. Key responsibilities include: - Owning programme execution across QSI’s delivery streams: one planning rhythm, one backlog discipline, ensuring dependencies and risks surfaced early and chased to resolution. - Running the roadmap-to-delivery link: keeping the roadmap, Jira and reality agreeing with each other, and making slippage visible early. - Owning the programme ceremonies and the design of the workflows behind them (day-to-day stand-ups are run by the engineering managers). - Working hand-in-hand with the Software and Science TPMs: shared or integrated processes wherever teams interact, and no duplicated ceremonies, boards or reporting. - Coordinating across teams - Continuing Engineering (US), the PMO, product and science teams - serving as QSI’s cross-functional programme liaison. - Establishing programme cadences and reporting (changelogs, demos, leadership summaries etc) in plain English that non-infrastructure stakeholders can read and trust. - Running the intake and triage process so requests reach the right stream with the right priority, without engineers being interrupt-driven. Requirements: We’re looking for a technically fluent Programme Manager who brings structure, pace and clarity to a fast-moving infrastructure organisation. You will be comfortable working in a deeply technical environment, working daily with platform and systems engineers, while translating progress, risks and trade-offs into clear reporting senior stakeholders can trust. You will thrive in ambiguity and an organisation where you are able to drive change. You do not just coordinate: you unblock teams, keep plans honest, and raise the bar on how programmes are run. You will have prior experience tunning technical programmes across multiple engineering teams, ideally in infrastructure, platform or systems engineering environments. You should be fluent with modern programme tooling, such as Jira, Confluence and GitHub, and have the judgement to keep process lightweight. You’d be a great fit with: - Experience harmonising ways of working across sibling teams or departments, integrating processes rather than multiplying them. - Strong, plain-English communication and the ability to make infrastructure work legible to non-technical stakeholders. - Ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously across sites and time zones in a fast-paced, changing environment. - A chase-without-nagging, escalate-without-drama working style, and a clear sense of the difference between a risk and a noise. Additional experience would be beneficial, such as a background in hardware-adjacent software (labs, manufacturing, robotics, scientific instruments), exposure to regulated or government-customer delivery, or agile coaching / scrum mastery experience. Working knowledge of quantum computing concepts would be a plus though is not essential. Benefits: Be part of a team that’s shaping the future of quantum. We offer more than just a role, you’ll join a world class community of scientists, engineers and innovators working to unlock the full potential of quantum computing. We offer a range of benefits, including opportunities to further your career alongside industry leaders, a competitive salary with IonQ stock options, an annual performance bonus, generous annual leave, flexible hybrid working, private medical and dental insurance for you and your family, and much more. Join us and be part of the future of quantum computing. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum closed a $1 billion funding round that valued the company at $7 billion. In 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a $100 million Letter of Intent under the CHIPS and Science Act, followed by a $125 million agreement with DARPA under Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, PsiQuantum's most valuable U.S. government agreement to date. This year, we also broke ground on our utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, Australia, and continued building out our Chicago site. Victor Peng, our CEO, and co-founder Jeremy O'Brien, now Executive Chairman, lead a team and board that reflects how seriously the world is taking this build, joined this year by Intel's Lip-Bu Tan and Atomico's Niklas Zennström. PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.

Our quantum computing services are available through all major cloud providers, while we also meet the needs of networking and sensing customers across land, sea, air, and space. IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before. Location: This role can work onsite or hybrid from one of our offices. We are open to a fully remote option for the right candidate. Travel: Up to 10% Job ID: 1915 The Role: We are hiring a senior technical leader to build the AI foundation our security organization runs on — and to make sure it actually gets used. This is a dual-mandate role. You will stand up the enterprise AI infrastructure that lets security teams safely build with large language models and agents, and you will lead the adoption effort that turns that infrastructure into measurable gains across detection and response, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, GRC, and security engineering. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role. You will write code, design systems, and set technical direction. You will not manage a team, but you will lead through influence: partnering with engineering leaders, coaching analysts and engineers, and building the coalitions that make org-wide change stick. Expect roughly an even split between platform building and enablement work. You will report to the security leadership team and work closely with Platform Engineering, IT, Legal, Privacy, and the broader AI/ML organization. Responsibilities : Stand Up the Enterprise AI Infrastructure - Build the platform. Design and build the shared platform security teams use to develop AI applications — model gateway and routing, authentication and authorization, secrets handling, rate limiting, cost attribution, and audit logging. - Enable agentic systems. Establish patterns and reusable components for agentic workflows: tool and MCP server integration, sandboxed execution, human-in-the-loop approval gates, and least-privilege scoping for agent credentials. - Wire in the data. Connect security's knowledge — runbooks, detection logic, past incidents, asset inventory, policy documents — to AI systems through well-governed retrieval pipelines with correct access controls and data classification enforcement. - Make it measurable. Build the evaluation harness, regression suites, and observability that tell us whether an AI system is working: output quality, latency, cost, hallucination rate, and drift over time. Nothing ships to production without a baseline. - Secure the stack itself. Implement guardrails against prompt injection, data exfiltration through model outputs, insecure tool use, and supply-chain risk in models and AI dependencies. Red-team the platform and the applications built on it. - Set the standards. Own the reference architecture, golden paths, and internal documentation so that a security engineer can go from idea to reviewed prototype in days rather than months. Drive AI Adoption Across the Security Organization - Find the real use cases. Work directly with detection engineering, IR, threat intel, vulnerability management, GRC, and security operations to identify where AI meaningfully reduces toil or improves quality — and where it does not. Kill weak ideas early. - Build the flagship applications. Deliver a small number of high-visibility wins yourself. Nothing drives adoption like a working tool that saves an analyst two hours a day. - Teach the organization. Run enablement programs — office hours, workshops, internal documentation, prompt and agent design patterns, brown-bags — that raise the AI fluency of the entire security organization, not just the engineers. - Measure adoption honestly. Define and report the metrics that show whether adoption is real: active users, workflows automated, analyst hours returned, time-to-detect and time-to-respond improvements, quality deltas against human baselines. - Establish governance that enables. Partner with Legal, Privacy, and Compliance to establish the acceptable-use policy, review process, and risk framework for AI in security workflows — designed to unblock teams rather than stall them. - Stay ahead of the field. Maintain the organization's point of view on where AI capability is heading and what it means for our security roadmap, staffing, and threat model. Evaluate vendors and open models on the merits. Requirements: - 8+ years in security engineering, platform engineering, or a closely related technical field, including significant hands-on software development. - Demonstrated experience building and operating production systems with large language models — not prototypes or demos. You have shipped something real, dealt with its failure modes, and iterated on it. - Strong software engineering fundamentals and fluency in Python (or an equivalent language), including API design, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure). - Deep understanding of security engineering: identity and access management, secrets management, network boundaries, logging and detection, and secure software development practices. - Working knowledge of AI-specific risk — prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage through model outputs, insecure agent tool use, model and dependency supply chain — and practical mitigations for each. - A track record of driving technical change across an organization through influence rather than authority: building consensus, teaching, and shipping things people voluntarily adopt. - Clear written and verbal communication. You can explain a system design to an engineer and the business case for it to an executive, in the same week. - Sound judgment about where AI is genuinely useful and where it is not. We want an advocate who is also a skeptic. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with agent frameworks, orchestration, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or comparable tool-use standards. - Experience building evaluation frameworks or LLM observability tooling. - Background in security operations, detection engineering, or incident response — you have felt the toil firsthand. - Experience with retrieval systems, embeddings, vector databases, and knowledge pipeline design. - Familiarity with AI governance and assurance frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, or the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications. - Experience fine-tuning or evaluating open-weight models for domain-specific tasks. - Prior experience as a first or founding hire on a platform or capability that later scaled organization-wide. What Success Looks Like First 90 Days - You have mapped the current state — what security teams are already doing with AI, sanctioned or not — and published a prioritized assessment of gaps, risks, and opportunities. - A minimum viable AI platform is running: gateway, authentication, logging, and cost attribution, with at least one security team building on it. - An acceptable-use policy and lightweight review process for AI in security workflows is drafted and socialized. First 6 Months - Two or more production AI applications are in daily use by security teams, with measured impact. - The evaluation and observability layer is in place; no AI system reaches production without a quality baseline and monitoring. - Enablement is operating on a regular cadence, and engineers outside your immediate orbit are shipping their own AI-assisted workflows on the golden paths you built. First Year - AI is a normal part of how the security organization works, with adoption and impact reported through metrics leadership trusts. - The platform supports agentic workflows safely, with guardrails that have been tested adversarially. - The role has clearly outgrown one person, and you have made the case for what the team around it should look like. Why This Role Security organizations are drowning in work that AI is genuinely good at, and most of them are still stuck at the pilot stage because nobody owns both halves of the problem — the infrastructure and the adoption. This role owns both. You will have executive sponsorship, real budget, and the latitude to set technical direction from a blank page. If you want to define how an entire security organization works with AI rather than tune someone else's system, this is that job.
