Job summary

NVIDIA seeks a Senior HPC & Quantum Systems Engineer to architect, deploy, and operate a first‑of‑its‑kind Accelerated Quantum Computing Center in the Boston area. You will lead all aspects of the day‑to‑day technical ownership of a tightly coupled GPU supercomputing environment coordinated with multiple quantum modalities.

This role sits at the intersection of data center infrastructure, high‑performance computing, and emerging quantum systems.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of hands‑on experience operating HPC or large‑scale compute infrastructure in production environments.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with equivalent experience in Physics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or 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.

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.
