Reliability Test Engineer - Photonics & Quantum Systems

QUANTUM COMPUTING, INC.; Hoboken (NJ); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Quantum Computing Inc. in Hoboken, NJ, is seeking a Reliability Test Engineer to define, build, and execute reliability validation strategies for next-generation photonic and quantum systems.

You will ensure products are robust, repeatable, and production-ready across environmental, mechanical, and operational conditions. Join a cross-functional team at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and quality, translating early-stage designs into field-ready systems with predictable

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field.
• 3+ years of reliability testing, validation, or hardware qualification.
• Experience with environmental testing (thermal cycling, vibration, humidity, shock).

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end reliability validation for photonic and quantum hardware systems.
• Develop and execute qualification plans aligned with product maturity (EVT/DVT/PVT to production).
• Build reliability test plans tied to product architecture and use cases.
• Design test strategies for environmental, mechanical, and operational stress conditions.
• Build and automate reliability test setups (thermal, vibration, humidity, shock, long-duration testing).
• Create Environmental and lifecycle test procedures (HALT, HASS, burn-in, accelerated aging).
• Define acceptance criteria and pass/fail thresholds for system performance under stress.
• Identify failure modes, perform root cause analysis, and drive corrective actions.
• Partner with design engineering to improve reliability through design‑for‑reliability (DfR) principles.
• Create Data pipelines for capturing, analyzing, and trending reliability data.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineering to ensure testability and production scalability.
• Establish reliability metrics (MTBF, failure rates, degradation trends) and track over lifecycle.
• Generate clear, data-driven reports to support design reviews (PDR, CDR, PRR) and leadership decisions.
• Create Qualification documentation aligned with ISO 9001 and production readiness standards.
