Mission of the Role\nTo define, validate, and execute the integration strategy for QuEra’s quantum systems within classical HPC/AI infrastructure - identifying use cases, technical requirements, and the right ecosystem partners across the full value chain.\n2. Core Responsibilities A. Use Case Discovery & Technical Research\nDeeply study academic and industry papers on quantum-classical hybrid workflows, quantum HPC/AI Data center integration, and the accelerations of AI for Science/Quantum discovery via quantum computing.\nIdentify high-value use cases (e.g., quantum chemistry, materials discovery, cryptoanalysis, optimization) relevant to HPC and AI centers\nTranslate theoretical research into practical product requirements - what integration, APIs, or software layers are needed to run these use cases.\nCollaborate with research teams to maintain technical credibility when engaging HPC customers or partners.\nCo-design solutions with lighthouse customers to verify the feasibility\nA. Value Chain Mapping\nUse the HPC value chain framework (hardware → integration → data center → middleware → workloads → services) to:\nMap current players (AWS, HPE, NVIDIA, etc.) and their quantum readiness.\nIdentify where quantum computing fits within this chain (e.g., as accelerator hardware, a cloud service, or a hybrid scheduler layer).\nDefine which layers QuEra should own vs. partner - e.g.:\nOwn: Quantum hardware, quantum control stack.\nPartner: Data center operations, cloud orchestration, middleware, hybrid execution APIs.\nB. Requirements Definition\nGather technical and operational requirements from HPC and AI center operators:\nPower, cooling, networking, physical integration.\nScheduler integration (Slurm, PBS, AWS Batch, Kubernetes).\nSecurity, compliance, and monitoring needs.\nDefine product specifications for Quantum-Classical Integration Interfaces (QCII) - the APIs, SDKs, and orchestration layers that enable hybrid workloads.\nC. Partner Identification & Engagement\nBuild a partner map for each value chain layer:\nHardware partners: compute (NVIDIA, AMD, ARM), interconnect (Infiniband), storage (DDN, AWS FSx).\nCloud/HPC providers: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, HPE Cray, NVIDIA DGX Cloud.\nSystem Integrators: Dell, HPE\nMiddleware/software partners: Slurm\nApplication/industry partners\nLead technical discussions and joint proof-of-concept programs with selected partners.\nEvaluate integration options - e.g., on-prem quantum node vs. cloud-connected quantum service.\nD. Product Strategy & Roadmapping\nDefine a phased integration roadmap for quantum into HPC centers and AI data center:\nSimulation stage: Run QuEra simulators on HPC clusters.\nHybrid orchestration stage: Enable joint scheduling of classical + quantum workloads.\nNative quantum accelerator stage: Deploy QuEra hardware within HPC/AI center or connect over high-speed link.\nBalance build/partner decisions at each stage, ensuring scalability and differentiation.\nF . Communication & Stakeholder Management\nAct as the bridge between technical R&D, engineering, business development, and external partners.\nCreate clear documentation (requirements docs, partner briefs, integration specs).\nCommunicate effectively with HPC operators and enterprise customers (translating quantum complexity into operational language).\n3. Key Skills and Background Technical Depth: Background in physics, computer engineering, or computational science; understanding of quantum computing principles and HPC architecture (Slurm, MPI, GPUs, network topology).\nProduct Management: Experience defining product requirements, roadmaps, and partner strategies in deep tech or HPC environments.\nEcosystem Awareness: Knowledge of cloud and data center ecosystems - AWS, NVIDIA, Intel, HPE, etc.\nCross-Functional Leadership: Ability to collaborate with quantum hardware engineers, software developers, and business teams.\nPartnering & Alliances: Experience building technical partnerships and evaluating technology fit.\nCommunication: Skilled at simplifying deep-technical material for non-specialist executives and partners.\n4. Success Metrics\nA complete map of the HPC/AI ecosystem relevant to quantum integration.\nClear technical and operational requirements for deploying QuEra hardware in HPC centers.\nAt least 2-3 strategic technical partnerships (e.g., with AWS, HPE, or NVIDIA).\nDefined build-vs-partner strategy for each value chain layer.\nDelivery of hybrid quantum-classical prototype or proof-of-concept within HPC environment.\nThe approximate base salary range for this position is $170,000-250,000.\nQuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
