Job description

Description

Do you have a background in Systems and Performance Engineering? Are you interested or versed in quantum computing? Do you move seamlessly from high level architecture discussions to coaching team leads to identifying potential risks in a development schedule? Are you comfortable pivoting when needed? Do you enjoy working at the nexus of people and cutting-edge technology? If you answered yes to these questions (or most of them), we’re looking for you to join us at Photonic!
In this role, you’ll manage a highly collaborative and capable team of scientists and quantum engineers responsible for the core of our quantum computer: its performance. Make it faster, make it better, track your progress, and provide requirements to other teams to make it happen. Collaborate closely with the Integration, Hardware, Software, and Chips teams to derisk the qubit and drive its performance as a quantum processor.

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

  • Manage the Quantum Systems Performance team within the quantum processors department, providing both people and technical leadership, promoting a high-performance, results-driven environment
  • Ensure engineers manage work through work breakdown and resource estimation
  • Manage resource allocation effectively across projects and teams
  • Improve processes and methods within the team
  • Attract, develop, motivate, and retain top talent
  • Coach the team to master the design-build-test cycle with respect to modelling and driving system performance
  • Manage the quality, production, and evolution of system-level requirements by the team
  • Own the system performance scorecard and risk register, and create and execute improvement plans
  • Work with the Program Managers and Director, Quantum Processors to drive alignment across multiple teams, meeting product roadmap deliverables and key technical milestones
  • Work with the team to support Photonic’s Intellectual Property strategy

WHAT YOU BRING TO OUR TEAM

  • 5+ years of people leadership in Engineering/R&D within a company that develops, manufactures, and sells complex technology solutions
  • Advanced degree (MSc/MEng or PhD) in Engineering, physics or related subject
  • Demonstrated ability to lead generation and management of requirements and drive system performance
  • Experience in translating R&D results to actionable engineering practice
  • A background or interest in quantum computing, quantum optics, and/or spin physics is a plus
  • A proven ability to attract, inspire, motivate, and retain top tier diverse talent
  • Outstanding teamwork skills
  • Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills

WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH US

  • Work closely with some of the brightest innovators in quantum technologies to drive breakthroughs that redefine computing
  • Enjoy a fast-paced and fun environment where you can try new things while solving innovative challenges every day
  • Inclusive company culture that values collaboration
  • Regular social events and fun activities keep our global team connected
  • Competitive compensation package including base salary, stock options, and relocation assistance for global talent
  • Comprehensive benefits including extended health, dental, life, long term disability, an employee assistance program, parental leave top-ups, and a flexible spending account
