Description

Are you that rare person who excels at managing the hearts and minds of a team while also being versed in quantum technologies? Do you thrive on building high-performance teams as well as bringing scientific innovation through to product delivery? 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?

You may have some expertise in superconducting, ion/atom, or defect centre qubits. (We know it’s unlikely you’ll have domain expertise in all of these areas, so we hope you consider applying if you’re awesome at people management and have worked with quantum technologies before.)

  • Ensure the cross-compatibility between parts and processes throughout the design process
  • Provide cross training opportunities for team members and support internal growth
SOME ATTRIBUTES YOU COULD BRING TO OUR TEAM
  • 5 years of people leadership in R&D within a company that develops, manufactures, and sells complex technology solutions
  • Demonstrated ability to lead research teams to high-quality decisions and outputs
  • Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in physics or mathematics

  • Experience with quantum architecture design best practices
  • Experience in setting and scaling the research and development function, with the 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
  • Get involved with a quantum startup company set to redefine computing
  • Work closely with some of the brightest innovators in quantum technologies
  • Enjoy a fast-paced and fun environment where you can try new things while solving innovative challenges every day
