Initial product launches will be followed by planned upgrades and feature releases in quick succession. \n[Customers & Projects] Enabling the success of concrete customers and customer projects on the Gemini machine at AIST, which divide into preview projects (leading up to each product/feature release and leveraging close collaboration with the machine team), and GA projects (following each product/feature release and utilizing the generally available capabilities). Customer success in this context will depend on a fine balance of customer experience, data quality, and timely execution of project phases. \n[Integration] Completing system integration with access/distribution partners, in two modalities: HPC integration, and cloud integration. \n[Development] Achieving milestones in the NEDO program focused on developing the hardware and software systems towards industrial-grade quantum computers by 2030. This development work is not independent of, but rather on the critical path for 1-3. \nKey responsibilities \n1. Product: \nTranslate high-level product goals and technical roadmap into executable plans, milestones, and dependencies. \nTrack risks, schedules, and cross-team deliverables to ensure on-time, high-quality product launches. \n2. Customers and Projects\nAct as the program coordination point for customer co-design and onboarding efforts. \nEnsure customer expectations, constraints, and feedback are clearly communicated and tracked. \nSupport technical teams by managing structure, timelines, and communication. \n3. Integration\nAct as the program coordination point for integration activities, including alignment efforts and end-to-end tests. \nCollect and synthesize requirements from integration partners and stakeholders, spanning functional and non-functional requirements (e.g. API payload vs API security). \n4. Development\nAlign timelines, requirements and dependencies, with awareness of product, business and operational constraints. \nTrack progress and support documentation efforts. \nSupport reporting efforts for external stakeholders (e.g. NEDO program management). \nContribute to QuEra’s readiness for scaling gate-based quantum computing beyond Gemini, including operational and organizational considerations. \nTo achieve a balanced success in 1-4 above, the role will take responsibility for managing machine time across activities, machine use agreements, and regulatory requirements (e.g. data privacy, network security, etc.). \nQualification & Profile \nRequired: \nEngineering background (e.g., semiconductor, systems engineering, advanced computing infrastructure). \nExperience in technical program management, system delivery, or execution of complex technical products. \nStrong ability to coordinate across multiple teams and external stakeholders. \nComfort in customer-facing, execution-oriented roles. \nStrong communication, documentation, and organizational skills. \nPreferred: \nExperience with on-premise deployments and security/network-constrained environments. \nExposure to quantum computing, HPC, or advanced computing platforms. \nExperience working with government, national lab, or research customers. \nDemonstrated ability to learn new technical domains quickly.\nThe approximate base salary range for this position is $170,000-250,000\nWe consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.\nQuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
