Quantum OS System Architect

Job Description

Job Description

Description

As a Quantum Runtime System Architect , you’ll work within the office of the Chief Quantum Officer to design the distributed hardware and software infrastructure that supports quantum circuits at runtime. Much like a classical operating system provides APIs to manage hardware and software interactions, you will architect a quantum operating system that controls qubit operations, resource scheduling, and system coordination to power Photonic's Entanglement First™ architecture.

Please include a cover letter with your resume (in one file) describing how you would be a great fit at Photonic and what attributes you could bring to our growing team.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO

• Architectural Leadership : Own the end-to-end design of a high-performance quantum operating system that manages distributed runtime control and resource allocation for quantum circuits.
• Quantum OS & Runtime Control Specifications : Define and drive the architectural specifications for the runtime control subsystem, integrating hardware (including FPGA and embedded systems) and software components.
• Interface & API Design : Develop robust, scalable interfaces that serve as the API layer between the embedded control system and its neighboring hardware and software, enabling efficient communication and control across the platform.
• Performance Optimization : Work across the breadth of Photonic's quantum compute stack to identify, model, and evaluate opportunities for long-term performance improvements.
