Job summary

QuEra is seeking a Technical Product Manager to coordinate a cross-functional program for the control system at the heart of our next-generation quantum processor units (QPUs).

This role bridges science and engineering teams to ensure high-fidelity, low-latency real-time decision-making, integrating digital, analog, RF, and microwave inputs, with ML decoders and calibration routines.

Strong leadership and clear documentation are essential to success.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or related technical subject.
• Deep understanding of electronic instrumentation for control systems in neutral atom quantum computing (digital, analog, RF, microwave) at programming and hardware validation level.
• Strong ability to communicate and coordinate across diverse scientific and engineering stakeholders.
• Exceptional organization and documentation skills.
• Creativity and initiative to solve open-ended technical and organizational problems.

Responsibilities

• Translate technical roadmaps into actionable plans with milestones, owners, dependencies, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Build full traceable requirement hierarchies from top-level physics goals down to subsystem specifications with input from technical stakeholders.
• Clearly define and track interfaces between subsystems: compiler, sequence orchestrator, waveform generation, decoder, calibration.
• Define and manage requirements for subsystem testing and integration testing with hardware-validated outputs prior to deployment on QPUs.
• Contribute to developing test procedures and sequences that validate whether subsystem and integration requirements are met.
• Coordinate priorities and timelines across multiple technical teams: theory, compiler, software engineering, etc.
• Support translation of R&D output into product specifications and launch.
• Maintain clear, structured communication to internal leadership and external stakeholders on development status, risks, and decisions.
