Design, implement, and operate hybrid-cloud and on-prem infrastructure; build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (including hardware-based); integrate monitoring and security controls; respond to incidents and perform root-cause analysis; improve service reliability and participate in on-call rotation.

Maintain and modernize Ocean SDK client libraries and tools in Python and C++, manage package builds and CI pipelines, write well-tested code and documentation, support internal research teams and external users, contribute open-source examples and tutorials, and collaborate with clients and internal teams to improve developer experience.

Develop, maintain, and optimize processor software that interfaces with quantum hardware. Own full lifecycle tasks, troubleshoot and improve system reliability and performance, mentor junior developers, collaborate across teams, and participate in on-call support for QPU solvers on the Leap cloud platform.

Lead cross-disciplinary system integration for quantum computing hardware and software. Define interfaces, requirements, V&V plans, diagnostics, and test procedures. Support bring-up, commissioning, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and reliability improvements across electrical, mechanical, cryogenic, control, and software subsystems. Mentor juniors and coordinate with service, production, and software teams.

Hands-on role building, testing, upgrading, and maintaining quantum processor control and readout electronics. Troubleshoot electrical, software, and cryogenic systems, support lab and field installations, perform preventative maintenance and system tests, maintain documentation, and collaborate on process improvements.

Lead planning, coordination, and delivery of complex research programs across quantum hardware, software, and AI/ML. Manage schedules, risks, resources, cross-functional alignment, external partnerships, program documentation, and stakeholder communications to drive progress and program health.

Lead R&D on quantum-classical hybrid algorithms and system benchmarking. Design and run experiments, reproduce literature results, analyze QPU contributions, communicate findings, and mentor teammates to improve performance and scalability.

Design, implement, and optimize algorithms for complex optimization and machine learning problems; write production-quality code; prototype and evaluate performance; collaborate with researchers and engineers to build scalable, end-to-end algorithmic solutions; participate in design discussions, code reviews, and best-practice initiatives.

Support development and maintenance of integrated demand plans for production, customer orders, projects, and service. Consolidate cross-functional inputs, maintain planning data in NetSuite, monitor forecast accuracy, align demand with manufacturing capacity, identify bottlenecks, support scenario analysis, and produce dashboards and KPI reporting to enable on-time deliveries and inventory efficiency.

Lead research and development for hybrid quantum-classical algorithms and benchmarking. Design and run experiments to characterize QPU contributions, analyze performance, develop scalable benchmarking tools, and communicate findings to influence technical strategy and improve system scalability.

Lead day-to-day PCB manufacturing for quantum hardware: manage a technical team, coordinate with engineering and suppliers, optimize processes and quality systems, maintain documentation and inventory, support rapid prototyping and production readiness, and ensure safety and facility compliance.

Lead and modernize global HR operations, technology, governance, and service delivery. Own HRIS roadmap, drive automation and AI adoption, ensure compliance and audit readiness, support global expansion and M&A, and build a high-performing global HR operations team.

Lead design, test, and continuous improvement of cryogenic systems for quantum computers. Drive root-cause analyses, develop experiments, create engineering documentation, support integration, commissioning, and field service, and mentor junior engineers while coordinating cross-functional projects to improve reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability.

Design and optimize superconducting integrated circuits (Josephson junctions, SQUIDs, SFQ, QFPs, resonators, qubits); develop and improve EDA toolchains and device models; verify manufacturability; mitigate packaging, I/O, electronics, and cryogenic impacts; provide technical leadership and strategy; mentor engineers; debug complex issues and document designs across teams.

Perform experimental characterization, calibration, and noise analysis of superconducting quantum processors. Develop models, simulations, and analysis routines to fit data and detect outliers.
