Technical Product Management Lead
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: The Technical Product Management Lead will serve as the technical face of the product to customers, partners, and the broader industry. This role will lead detailed specification negotiations and technical engagements with customer architecture teams, translating customer constraints and needs into clear, actionable product requirements. The Lead will partner closely with engineering on product priorities, trade-offs, testing, and documentation while owning specifications at the customer boundary. This individual will also develop technical content—including white papers, application notes, reference architectures, and conference materials—and represent the company at industry conferences and standards organizations. Responsibilities: - Lead technical engagement with customer architecture teams — design and architecture reviews. - Lead detailed specification negotiation with lead customers, from first draft through agreed sign-off. - Own spec definition at the customer boundary: how performance is measured, what a test proves. - Provide product management support to engineering — requirements, priorities and trade documentation. - Author white papers, application notes, reference architectures and conference material. - Feed customer-side constraints back into product definition as first-class requirements. - Represent the company technically at conferences and in standards work. Experience/Qualifications: - 10+ years in datacenter networking with real depth in switch and fabric architecture; product management or product-owner experience. - Has been the vendor architect in a room of skeptical buyers and won on merit. - Practical grasp of the optical layer as a networking engineer uses it: link budgets, transceiver compatibility, reach and loss margin. - Excellent written communication — a large share of the role is documents that survive scrutiny without you present.

Staff Optical Fiber Link 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. In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale. 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 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.

IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before. Location: Remote, US Travel: Up to 10% Job ID: 1823 The Role: We are a rapidly scaling, publicly traded frontier-technology company, and our workforce is growing faster than the systems that support it. As Employment Counsel, you are the day-to-day legal engine of the Labor & Employment function — the first call for our People and Recruiting teams and the owner of the documentation, advice, and process that keep a fast-moving company compliant across a growing map of states and countries. This is a builder’s role, not a caretaker’s one. You will inherit real ambiguity and turn it into order: standing up templates, playbooks, and self-serve resources where none exist today. You own the living, breathing employee lifecycle from hire to exit. If you are energized by handling complexity and want the reps that come with a company scaling in real time, this role is built for you. Responsibilities : - Employee lifecycle documentation. Own offer letter, severance and separation agreement, and related lifecycle document templates to allow for producing signature-ready work product at volume. Draft state by-state adaptations and bespoke terms. - Daily advisory to People & Recruiting. Be the first line of response for HRBP and Recruiter questions on ADA interactive processes, FMLA and state leave overlaps, wage-and-hour classification, and everyday employee relations matters. Track and log recurring questions, and build FAQs, guidance and trainings to build team skills and confidence for handling repeated matters efficiently and directly. - Performance management & exits. Partner with HR to advise on and mitigate risk, and manage the execution of standard, non-complex separations. - Discovery, records & legal holds. Draft objection letters and responses to employment subpoenas; direct the compilation of personnel files for production; run initial privilege and confidentiality reviews; and draft and manage legal holds consistent with company policy. - Contractor & consultant compliance. Standardize the risk-management onboarding and offboarding workflow for consultants, and lead classification, IP, regulatory, security, and tax compliance. • Multistate compliance & outside counsel coordination. Keep us current across our active jurisdictions (currently including California, Washington, Colorado, Maryland/Virginia, Minnesota, Florida and Texas among others) and serve as the point of contact who scopes questions for, and coordinates the work of, non-US outside counsel. Requirements: - JD and an active bar membership in good standing in any U.S. jurisdiction. - Roughly 3–5 years of labor and employment experience, with a meaningful foundation built at a law firm — you have the basics down cold and can jump in without a runway. - Strong command of federal and multi-state employment law (Title VII, ADA, ADEA, FMLA, FLSA, and state leave and wage-and-hour regimes); California experience is a plus. - A genuinely strong drafter who produces clean, practical, signature-ready documents at speed. • Comfortable with ambiguity and self-directed — a grinder who builds structure where none exists rather than waiting for settled process. - High business-partner EQ: you give plain-English, actionable advice that non-lawyers can act on, and you build trust with People and Recruiting quickly. - You never lose sight of moving the business forward.

Senior Quantum Chemistry Product Manager
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: Early commercial applications of fault-tolerant quantum computing are expected to be predominantly in computational chemistry, particularly in quantum chemistry.

Associate Characterization and Test 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.

You will design the system, and others will help you deliver it. The ideal candidate is someone who ships a version one in weeks rather than quarters, is energized by ambiguity, and wants to build the playbook rather than run someone else's. Responsibilities : - Own IonQ’s talent development strategy: diagnose capability and performance gaps in partnership with People Business Partners and business leaders, identify root causes beyond training, and set the priorities the company invests in. - Architect and ship development experiences end to end, from design through facilitation, adoption and measurement, across audiences ranging from new hires to executives. - Build IonQ’s leadership bench: define what great looks like for managers and leaders, and create development pathways for new managers, senior leaders and high-potential talent that accelerate readiness for greater scope. - Create development paths for deep technical experts, including scientists and engineers who should advance without managing people, while equipping those who move into management to lead technical teams effectively. - Embed AI into how employees and managers develop through on-demand coaching and practice, personalized development paths and manager tools, so that live learning time is reserved for connection and application. - Scale IonQ’s enablement ecosystem: activate internal experts to teach each other, own the talent development vendor portfolio and learning budget, and apply clear judgment about when to build, when to buy and when not to intervene. - Define and track a measurement framework covering adoption, time to proficiency, behavior change and business impact, and translate the results into insights leaders can act on. Requirements: - Experience designing and shipping talent development or enablement programs within high-growth technology, engineering or similarly complex organizations, with specific examples delivered in short windows. - Demonstrated AI fluency across the development lifecycle, from needs analysis and content design through delivery and measurement. You have built or shipped AI-enabled learning experiences or tools, not simply used them. - Demonstrated judgment on when to buy, when to build and when to do nothing, with examples of each. - Exceptional facilitation skills, including the ability to hold a room with senior leaders and highly technical audiences. - Experience operating as a function of one or close to it, including a clear point of view on prioritization and what you deliberately chose not to do. - Strong consultative and influencing skills without formal authority, including experience partnering with senior leaders to secure sponsorship and drive adoption. - Ability to define meaningful development KPIs and translate outcomes into business impact rather than relying primarily on attendance or satisfaction scores. - Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training and professional experience. Preferred Qualifications: - Advanced degree or background in instructional design, adult learning theory, organizational development, or industrial and organizational psychology. - Experience designing development for research, scientific or engineering populations at both individual contributor and manager levels. - Experience preparing an organization for rapid scaling, role evolution or reskilling. - Experience embedding operational excellence practices, such as Leader Standard Work or Managing Daily Improvement, into leadership development. - Experience designing early-career, rotational or other structured talent programs.

Director, Australia Finance
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. In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale. 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 Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.

The ideal candidate is a curious, collaborative engineer who is drawn to hardware-software integration testing, thinks in terms of coverage and infrastructure rather than individual test cases, and is comfortable defining the right test signal for first-of-their-kind systems. Responsibilities : - Own end-to-end integration testing of our system software: design, develop, and maintain the automated test suites that validate complete quantum computing systems on shared test environments, including circuit execution under realistic customer workloads. - Extend automated test coverage of operator-facing tooling and workflows, exercising the interfaces engineers and physicists use to operate and calibrate systems. - Design, build, and operate the CI infrastructure that catches integration bugs before software is deployed onto systems, in partnership with software development teams — and keep it fast, reliable, and trusted. - Define and evolve system-level test strategy: identify coverage gaps beyond functional job execution and build the tests and instrumentation to close them, including performance characterization and electronics-control validation where appropriate. - Own integration-test triage and reporting: drive failures to root cause, attribute regressions to the responsible component, and deliver specific, actionable feedback to owning teams. - Manage the lifecycle of the test system fleet across IonQ product lines: establish consistent hardware and software baselines across instances, coordinate upgrades and decommissioning with the product teams that define their requirements, and maintain an authoritative record of each system’s configuration and fitness for purpose. - Champion testability across component teams, promoting the interfaces, test hooks, and practices that make our system software easier to validate. Requirements: - 5+ years of professional experience in test infrastructure, software test automation, CI engineering, or a closely related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. - Strong programming skills in Python or another general-purpose language, with experience creating test frameworks and automation tooling, not just using them. - Hands-on background designing, operating, and scaling CI/CD systems that engineering teams depend on. - Experience implementing system-level integration tests for complex, multi-component systems. - Experience with hardware-in-the-loop or lab-based test environments, or demonstrated aptitude for working close to physical hardware. - Excellent debugging skills, particularly across the boundary between software and hardware. - Strong collaboration skills; this role works closely with engineers on multiple product teams. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with performance testing methodology and workload characterization. - Experience instrumenting and validating electronic control systems (e.g., capturing and asserting on signal output via oscilloscope or equivalent instrumentation). - Experience managing test health at scale — flaky-test management, test observability, or quality metrics and dashboards. - Familiarity with containerization and infrastructure-as-code for building reproducible test environments. - Background in scientific or research computing environments.
