About the role

Senior HPC & Quantum Systems Engineer to architect, deploy, and operate a first-of-its-kind Accelerated Quantum Computing Center, bridging high-performance computing infrastructure with multiple quantum modalities in a production-ready environment.

Responsibilities

  • Build, deploy, and operate a hybrid computing platform combining large-scale NVIDIA GPU clusters with physical quantum processors (neutral atom, trapped ion, superconducting, and future modalities).
  • Integrate quantum control systems and access nodes with HPC infrastructure using APIs, scientific applications, and orchestration frameworks such as CUDA-Q, cuQuantum, NVQlink, Slurm, and related toolchains.
  • Be responsible for the reliability, performance, administrations, and lifecycle management of the Quantum environment, including Linux systems, QPU hardware, job schedulers (e.g., Slurm), networking, containerized applications, and storage.
  • Work closely with networking and facilities teams to ensure power, cooling, timing, environmental controls, and low-latency connectivity meet quantum hardware requirements.
  • Serve as a technical interface to quantum hardware partners, collaborating on system bring-up, connectivity, control interfaces, and co-design opportunities.
  • Help define hosting, systems architecture, and integration requirements for new quantum systems entering the facility.
  • Partner with internal researchers and engineers to deploy, optimize, and benchmark hybrid workloads across simulation, quantum error correction, calibration, optimization, and machine learning.
  • Prototype, document, and evaluate end-to-end workflows that demonstrate the capabilities of the platform.
  • Support researchers with application solving and standard methodologies.

Qualifications

  • 12+ years of hands-on experience operating HPC or large-scale compute infrastructure in production environments.
  • Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree with equivalent experience in Physics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science (PhD a plus).
  • Strong background in Linux systems administration, job schedulers (Slurm or equivalent), and computing environments committed to reliable operation.
  • Proven experience working in data center environments, including networking, storage, power, and operational constraints.
  • Familiarity with quantum computing concepts and hardware architectures (neutral atom, trapped ion, superconducting, photonic).
  • Experience with or strong interest in quantum software environments including CUDA-Q, Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, Braket, or similar.
  • Comfort working across system boundaries: control systems, APIs, networking, and performance tooling.
