Descripción del empleo

Senior Quantum Chemistry Product Manager at PsiQuantum, Palo Alto, California, United States (remote). A senior-level full time position in the Engineering team, listed under business operations.

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 co

Requirements

• PhD in computational chemistry with a strong grasp of quantum chemistry, or a Master’s degree with equivalent significant experience.

• Industry experience applying computational chemistry (including quantum chemistry) to real world industry problems.
• Experience developing, commercializing, or deploying AI/ML-enabled products for chemistry, materials science, or drug discovery (preferred).
• Demonstrated verbal, written and presentation skills.
• Proven team player with an ability to work effectively across departments, sites, and time zones.
• Detail oriented, data driven problem solver, with an analytical mindset.
• Ability to work independently and contribute in a fast-moving start-up environment.
