System Architect, Quantum Networking

Summary

Join PsiQuantum's system architecture team and contribute to building the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer. As a physicist, you will develop internal tools for designing and analyzing system architecture, collaborating with other teams and modeling networked system architecture. Your responsibilities include contributing to the quantum computing system architecture and software roadmap, maintaining graph-based models of system architectures, analyzing and optimizing the flow of classical and quantum information, profiling planned systems to derive performance metrics, and designing and developing software tools and infrastructure. This role requires a degree in Physics, a strong background in quantum information theory, experience with stabilizer states and ZX-calculus, proficiency in Python, and 3+ years of software development experience in scientific computing. The ability to collaborate effectively and a hands-on mentality are essential. Competitive salary and benefits are offered.

Requirements

• Degree in Physics and a strong background in quantum information theory, quantum computing, or quantum communication networks
• Experienced in working with stabilizer states and ZX-calculus
• Proficiency in Python
• 3+ years of experience in software development, with an emphasis on scientific computing
• Ability to collaborate effectively across departments, sites, and time zones
• A hands-on mentality to own challenges and develop solutions independently

Responsibilities

• Contribute to our Quantum Computing system architecture and software system roadmap
• Maintain graph-based models of the system architectures of our upcoming systems
• Analyze and optimize flow of classical and quantum information inside networked system architectures requiring a large amount of just-in-time decisions to route photonic qubits
• Profile the planned systems by using system models and derive performance metrics
• Design and develop software tools and infrastructure to enable development, analysis and tracking of our quantum system architectures

Preferred Qualifications

Competent use of collaborative software development tools (e.g., GitLab) is desirable

Benefits

• $115,000 — $140,000 USD
• $140,000 — $170,000 USD
