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 approachisbased on silicon photonics. Byleveragingthe 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: photonsdon'tfeel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.
In 2024,PsiQuantumannounced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining-and that now is the time to scale.
PsiQuantumalso develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies-including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical-to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.
Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. Itrepresentsa fundamental shift-and a path to mastering challenges that cannot besolvedany other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clearpathto make it real.
Come join us.
Job Summary:
System Integration Lead will translate quantum system requirements into an implementable, scalable hardware architecture-and then drive cross-functional integration from concept through build, test, and deployment. This role sits at the intersection of quantum system architecture, photonics/electronics hardware, facilities and infrastructure, and system design engineering. You will be a primary technical integrator and communicator who brings clarity, alignment, and execution discipline to a fast-moving environment.
Responsibilities:
Translate system intent into hardware reality
Gather inputs from the
Quantum System Architecture
team and convert them into an
implementable hardware architecture
(requirements, interfaces, subsystems, integration plan, verification strategy).
Own end-to-end
system-level requirements decomposition
into subsystem specs (photonics, electronics, thermal, mechanical, controls, firmware/software interfaces, infrastructure).
Define and maintain the
system architecture baseline
as designs evolve-managing changes while protecting system integrity.
Lead cross-functional integration
Coordinate across internal teams including
facilities ,
photonics ,
electronics ,
system design engineers ,
test/validation ,
packaging ,
thermal ,
mechanical ,
reliability , and other technical leads.
Engage external stakeholders and vendors/partners as needed to ensure interface compatibility, delivery alignment, and integration readiness.
Drive
integration readiness reviews , interface alignment, and subsystem bring-up plans.
Own interfaces, trade-offs, and decisions
Establish and manage
ICDs (Interface Control Documents) , system block diagrams, integration specifications, and dependency maps.
Lead system-level
trade studies
and decision processes across competing constraints (performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, schedule, facility constraints).
Identify integration risks early and own mitigations, contingencies, and escalation paths.
Build processes that scale
Create and continuously improve integration workflows that bring order without slowing innovation (e.g., requirements flow-down, change control, design reviews, configuration management, integration checklists).
Establish clear mechanisms for
issue tracking ,
root-cause analysis ,
lessons learned , and repeatable test/validation practices.
Help develop an integration culture that balances rigor with startup agility.
Communicate clearly and drive alignment
Serve as a central communication hub across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Provide concise updates on architecture status, integration risks, schedule impacts, and decision needs.
Align teams through clear documentation, structured meetings, and effective stakeholder management.
Experience/Qualifications:
Education & experience
MS in a relevant engineering field (Electronics, Optics, Photonics, EE/CE, Systems Engineering, Applied Physics, etc.) with
10+ years
of industry experience,
or
PhD in a similar field with
6+ years
of industry experience.
Technical background
Demonstrated experience in
electronic-photonics systems
(mixed-domain integration: optical, electrical, thermal, mechanical, controls).
Strong understanding of system integration principles: requirements, interfaces, verification, reliability, and integration/test planning.
Leadership
Prior experience in
lead positions
(technical lead, system lead, integration lead, or program-facing technical leadership).
Track record of driving cross-functional execution and resolving complex technical dependencies.
Communication
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate complex technical topics into clear decisions and actionable plans.
Mindset
Strong positive attitude toward
change and uncertainty ; able to adapt quickly and navigate complex decision-making environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
Background in
data-center-scale system integration
(large infrastructure, facility constraints, high availability, safety, commissioning, operational readiness).
Experience integrating systems that span
facility + hardware + controls/software , including deployment/commissioning in operational environments.
Familiarity with formal systems engineering tools and methods (MBSE, DOORS/Jama, configuration management, structured V&V).
Note: PsiQuantum will only reach out to you using an official PsiQuantum email address and will never ask you for bank account information as part of the interview process. Please report any suspicious activity to
