We provide solutions to protect governments, telecommunication infrastructures, and banking & financial institutions from the “harvest-now, decrypt-later” threat, delivering both terrestrial and space-based quantum-safe networks in live operation globally. The Role: We are looking for a Principal Engineer to own the classical cryptography architecture of our post-quantum cryptography (PQC) hardware acceleration products, targeting hardware security module (HSM) and network-appliance applications. Real-world quantum-safe systems are hybrid systems: classical and post-quantum algorithms operating side by side, with careful key management, crypto agility and migration paths. You will be the senior authority for this classical and hybrid layer, working alongside our PQC architecture leadership. The role demands fluency on both sides of the transition: deep classical mastery combined with a solid working command of the post-quantum algorithms and standards the products are built around. Responsibilities : You will own the architecture and implementation strategy of the classical cryptographic functions of the product line: symmetric ciphers and modes (AES/GCM and beyond), hash functions (SHA-2/SHA-3, HMAC/KDF constructions), RSA/ECC offload, and true random number generation and entropy architecture (SP 800-90A/B/C). You will define the hybrid classical/post-quantum schemes (key establishment, dual signatures, composite certificates) and the crypto-agility mechanisms that allow customers to migrate safely, track the standardisation of hybrid and composite approaches (NIST guidance, IETF work on hybrid key establishment in TLS 1.3 and IKEv2, composite certificates) together with our PQC architects, guide RTL and software engineers implementing classical cores, technically evaluate third-party IP, and support FIPS 140-3 and CAVP certification of the classical algorithm suite. You will also own key-management and key-hierarchy architecture across the product, ensuring interoperability with deployed HSM, TLS and IPsec ecosystems. - Own the classical and hybrid cryptography architecture of the product line: symmetric, hash, RSA/ECC, entropy and key management, and classical/PQC hybrid schemes - Define crypto-agility and migration mechanisms that let customers move to quantum-safe deployments without breaking existing infrastructure Requirements: We are looking for a candidate with a Master’s or PhD in Cryptography, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field and at least twelve years of experience implementing and architecting classical cryptography in real products, in hardware, software or both. You have deep command of symmetric and asymmetric primitives, modes of operation, key management and entropy generation, and you have taken cryptographic subsystems through FIPS 140-3 or Common Criteria evaluation. You also bring a solid working knowledge of the NIST post-quantum algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) and their deployment constraints: you do not need to be a lattice specialist, but you must be able to architect hybrid schemes with one. You understand the practical constraints of deployed security infrastructure (HSMs, PKI, TLS and IPsec ecosystems) and how hybrid classical/post-quantum schemes are standardised and deployed in practice. You write precise specifications, guide implementers effectively, and make sound architecture decisions under real-world interoperability constraints. Fluency in English is required; French or German is an advantage. - Proven architect of classical cryptographic subsystems with certification experience (FIPS 140-3, CAVP, Common Criteria) - Practical knowledge of hybrid classical/PQC schemes, crypto agility and key-management architecture, with working command of the NIST PQC standards Preferred Qualifications: You believe that quantum-safe security is only as strong as the classical foundations it stands on. You enjoy being the guardian of correctness and interoperability in a programme pushing new technology, and you take pride in migrations that customers barely notice because they simply work.

IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before. Location: This role will work onsite at our office located in Bothell, WA, Boulder, CO, or College Park, MD Travel: As needed. Job ID: 1859 The Role: Compute Platform turns quantum capability into quantum utility by building the APIs, cloud infrastructure, developer tools, and application layer that connect IonQ's QPUs to users. Without it, powerful hardware goes nowhere. We’re hiring a Senior Staff Technical Program Manager to lead cross-functional programs across the application platform, developer tooling, and compiler stack. You’ll report directly to the VP of the department and carry program-level decision-making authority, with the ownership that comes with it. You’ll work across four engineering teams and roughly forty engineers, supporting multiple concurrent programs. You'll operate in high ambiguity: the problems here don't have established playbooks, because turning quantum computers into commercial products is a problem nobody has finished solving. If that sounds like the interesting part, we should talk. This is a high-visibility role with ownership of some of the company's highest-priority initiatives. As such, this role will routinely interact with senior technical leadership and key partners. Responsibilities : - Own the end-to-end delivery of IonQ's application platform, developer tools, and compiler roadmap, spanning numerous cross-functional development threads - Partner with engineering leadership to turn technical vision into incremental milestones that ship, identifying risks and mitigations before they become schedule problems - Build and run the timelines, tracking, and reporting that teams actually use, where the measure of success is adoption; you’ll have access to cutting edge AI tools as a force multiplier - Keep the systems of record honest. Our plans live across PRDs, trackers, and Jira, and when those drift apart the program is flying blind. You'll close that gap and automate the checking - Make invisible work visible: on-call burden, sustaining load, and technical debt tracked as rigorously as feature delivery - Dive into the details on long-pole problems. When a program stalls, you're in the weeds with the team - Surface unresolved risks early, before you have a full solution or complete stakeholder alignment. We'd rather hear it messy and on time - Manage dependencies across internal and external teams, technical and non-technical - Write and present concise, data-driven status to senior leadership - When engineers have great ideas off-roadmap, help turn them into formal proposals for potential prioritization Requirements: - 8+ years managing technical programs and delivering against aggressive timelines - Track record leading technical teams through genuine ambiguity, not just executing a defined plan - Experience in developer tools, SDKs, compilers, or adjacent platform software - A habit of turning diffuse problems into specific, minimal, assignable asks - Technical fluency to engage engineering leads directly on scoping and tradeoffs, and comfort reading and reasoning about code - Willingness to re-baseline against reality rather than defend dates that have stopped being true, and the judgment to tell a target that motivates from one that just generates fiction - You've built or automated the reconciliation between planning docs and ticket systems, and you treat drift between them as a defect - Fluency moving between fast-cycle delivery and longer-horizon program building as the situation demands - AI as a core part of how you work. You've built agent-driven workflows for program management and want to push that much further - Experience in customer-facing technical roles - Highly effective written and verbal communication Preferred Qualifications: - Experience standing up program tracking and reporting infrastructure from scratch. You've designed a team's operating cadence, not just scheduled it, and polled the people affected before changing it - Customer-facing technical experience - Capacity and staffing modeling from conflicting inputs, with the discipline to label an unknown as unknown - A demonstrated ability to earn technical stakeholders' trust through consistency and results - Genuine enthusiasm for reading and writing PRDs and ERDs - Working knowledge of quantum computing, though no quantum background is required.

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: Oxford, UK Office commitment: Hybrid The Role: Quantum is now, and it's built here. Oxford Ionics, now part of IonQ, is pioneering the next generation of quantum computing. Using our world-leading trapped-ion technology, we're building the most powerful, accurate and reliable quantum systems to tackle problems that today's supercomputers cannot solve. We're looking for an enthusiastic and highly technical Senior Software Engineer for our non-realtime controllers team who will thrive in our dynamic cross-disciplinary environment. You will be working closely with our skilled software engineers, our systems teams who operate the physical quantum computers, and our world-leading quantum scientists to build and operate the software that controls the hardware surrounding our quantum computers. Previous exposure to quantum systems is not required. You will own areas of the hardware control surface end to end, from the device protocol up to a service running reliably across our fleet. This is a hands-on engineering role and stays that way as you grow. A working quantum computer is far more than the ion trap and its real-time control electronics. It depends on a fleet of supporting hardware, including cryogenic compressors, vacuum pumps, power supplies, lasers, temperature controllers, wavemeters and cameras, that has to be kept observable, controllable and reliable. The timing-critical operations such as gate waveforms and ion transport run on dedicated real-time FPGA systems, while this team owns everything that does not need hard timing guarantees. These services run on general-purpose Linux hardware and must be rock-solid, because a failed compressor or an un-noticed pressure drift takes a whole machine offline. Responsibilities : This is a hands-on engineering role, balancing delivery of your own areas with support for the teams and scientists who depend on them. Key responsibilities include: - Own a group of device controllers end to end, covering API design, implementation, rollout and ongoing operational health. - Make services robust against the ways real instruments fail. - Bring devices onto our current framework, and roll the result out across the fleet without disrupting running experiments. - Improve the shared framework where a problem turns out to be common to many controllers rather than specific to one. - Work closely with the systems teams and scientists who depend on these services, and strengthen observability, health checking and alerting. - Raise the standard of the code around you through review, and bring less experienced engineers on by working alongside them. Requirements: To be successful, you will need experience working with Linux based systems and interfacing with hardware, and a track record of making software behave well against unreliable external dependencies. We're looking for someone who can own a problem area with little supervision and judge where robustness is worth the effort. You’d be a great fit with: - Strong systems engineering skills. Our controllers are written in Rust, so either solid Rust experience or deep proficiency in another systems language and the appetite to work in a Rust codebase, including async programming. - Experience designing and operating networked services such as gRPC or REST, with a real grasp of error handling, observability and failure modes. - Experience of hardware and instrument protocols and interfaces such as SCPI, Modbus, serial and Ethernet. - Comfortable owning the production behaviour of what you build, not just its correctness in test. - Excellent communication skills both within software and across disciplines, and an interest in helping other engineers get better at the craft without wanting to stop building yourself. 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.

Manager, Cryogenic Process & Distribution 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.

Senior Quantum Applications Architect
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: Within the Quantum Algorithms team, we develop and adapt quantum algorithms, identify and scope promising use cases, and analyze their resource requirements. In this role, you will translate computational tasks into abstract quantum-algorithm specifications, analyze their asymptotic performance, and define meaningful problem instances that lie beyond the practical reach of classical computation. You will also work closely with PsiQuantum’s Compilation team to develop explicit implementations of these algorithms and evaluate their resource requirements on our architecture. In this position, you will be expected not only to conduct outstanding individual research, but also to formulate and lead broader research programs that draw on the work of other researchers and collaborators. You will contribute to cross-team initiatives spanning PsiQuantum’s applications, architecture, and compilation efforts, helping to connect algorithm design with the practical requirements of fault-tolerant quantum computation.

Recruiting Coordinator
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.

You would be working closely with engineering, manufacturing and procurement to make sure the right parts arrive when the build needs them. Our engineering builds and New Product Introduction programmes move at the pace of the parts that arrive. When a single long lead item slips, a build slot sits idle and the schedule behind it shifts. Today the picture of what is on order, what is late and what that does to the next build lives in several places at once, across MRP data, vendor conversations and spreadsheets. Nobody owns the whole picture, and that is the job. You will run system level materials planning from MRP data, turning forecast into a build schedule people can rely on. You will source and negotiate with vendors, raise purchase requisitions and chase deliveries that are drifting. A good deal of this role is telling people early that a date has moved. This is an in office role in Oxford, five days a week. Materials planning here depends on being close to the builds, the stores and the people running them. Responsibilities: In this position, you will have the opportunity to improve material availability, accelerate production timelines and strengthen supply chain reliability across engineering and NPI programmes. Your key responsibilities can be split into two categories: Planning and scheduling - Execute system level materials planning from MRP data to support engineering builds and NPI schedules - Publish and maintain daily and weekly build schedules from forecast analysis and material availability - Monitor, report and resolve material shortages, discrepancies and constraints before they stop a build - Manage production work orders and report on material readiness and build progress Vendor and supply - Source and negotiate with vendors, including obtaining quotes and agreeing lead times - Raise purchase requisitions and expedite deliveries that are slipping - Act as the point of contact between vendors and the internal teams waiting on parts - Work across engineering, manufacturing and procurement to clear blockers on critical builds Requirements: To be successful, you will need five or more years of materials planning in a manufacturing environment with multi level bills of materials, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. You will have a working command of MRP across planning, purchasing, inventory and manufacturing operations, hands on experience with ERP and PLM systems, and the confidence to analyse large sets of data and act on what they tell you. You will need to lead cross functional work, speak plainly to vendors and internal teams alike, and operate with urgency in an environment where priorities move. You'd be a great fit with: - Experience with NetSuite (Oracle) - Experience with Power BI - Experience with Google Workspace - A relevant certification such as CIPS, CILT, APICS CPIM or CSCP - Project management experience Benefits Be part of a team that’s shaping the future of quantum.
