Job summary

PsiQuantum is developing and testing prototype subsystems that will scale into a datacenter-sized, fault-tolerant quantum computer. The successful candidate will lead a focused team to validate the performance of one or more fully integrated quantum subsystems, including photonic, optic, cryogenic, electronic, electro-optical, firmware, and software aspects.

The team will plan and execute design validation testing of the subsystem, define and validate automated self-test functions, and develop

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical projects involving the integration of optical and electronic hardware, firmware, software, and data infrastructure.
• Demonstrated experience with some, or all, of the following: Quantum optics, single photon generation and detection; Quantum characterization, verification, and validation; Integrated silicon photonics; Mixed-signal, analog, RF electronics design and test; Electro-optical device design and test.

Responsibilities

• Manage the validation team of the quantum subsystem, including technical oversight, project management, talent management, performance evaluations, and coaching.
• Develop validation and verification plans, and execute to deliver on these objectives within a demanding development schedule.
• Plan and execute system integration test points of hardware, firmware, software, to ensure that issues are identified and debugged at an appropriate level of integration before the full subsystem test.
• Lead the definition and documentation of the quantum and semi-classical calibration, self-test, and diagnostic functions of the subsystem. Define and validate quantum tests at intermediate points in the quantum computer, to verify the quantum photonic states being generated meet system requirements.
• Provide cross-functional support to other engineering teams by communicating design-for-test requirements, calibration requirements, data acquisition and processing requirements, performance data, and debugging support for all issues arising during subsystem-level tests.
• Lead the assessment of the subsystem's in situ performance evaluation while it is operated within a larger system.
