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.
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.
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.
WHAT YOU BRING TO OUR TEAM
- Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
- 10+ years in embedded system design and distributed system network architecture. Experience in quantum computing, high-performance computing, high-frequency trading, or particle physics is an asset.
- Experience with sub-microsecond time synchronization in distributed systems.
- Familiarity with real-time system design and RTOS environments.
- Broad expertise across the technology stack, including FPGA hardware simulation/design tools, systems programming (e.g., C, C++, Rust), and high-level languages (e.g., Python).
- A demonstrated ability to tackle complex technical challenges and innovate within rapidly evolving domains.
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
- Inclusive company culture
- Competitive salary, benefits (including life insurance, extended health, dental, long term disability, and a flexible spending
