This role will bridge multiple technical teams within science and engineering organizations to ensure successful development of a cutting-edge control system capable of supporting high fidelity, low latency real time decision-making at scale on a neutral atom QPU, integrating multiple hardware inputs and outputs (digital, analog, RF, microwave), along with cutting-edge machine learning decoders and calibration routines.\nThe role requires strong leadership and stakeholder management skills, to coordinate between and align diverse technical teams, translating high-level technical roadmaps into actionable requirements and tasks going all the way down to individual subsystems. An ideal candidate will also be effective at organizing and documenting full, traceable hierarchies of requirements for all control system hardware and software, down to the level of individual components and interfaces.\nResponsibilities\nTranslate technical roadmaps into actionable plans with clear milestones, owners, dependencies, and risk mitigation strategies\nBuild full traceable requirement hierarchies from top-level physics goals down to subsystem specifications with input from technical stakeholders\nClearly define and track interfaces between different subsystems: compiler, sequence orchestrator, waveform generation, decoder, calibration\n Define and manage requirements for subsystem testing and integration testing with hardware-validated outputs prior to deployment on QPUs\nContribute to developing test procedures and sequences that validate whether subsystem and integration requirements are met\nCoordinate priorities and timelines across multiple technical teams: theory, compiler, software engineering, etc.\nSupport translation of R&D output into product specifications and launch\nMaintain clear, structured communication to internal leadership and external stakeholders on development status, risks, and decisions\nQualifications\nBachelor's degree in physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related technical subject \nDeep understanding of electronic instrumentation for control systems relevant to neutral atom quantum computing (e.g. digital, analog, RF, microwave) at both the programming and hardware validation level\nStrong ability to communicate and coordinate across diverse scientific and engineering stakeholders\nExceptional organization and documentation skills\nCreativity and initiative to solve open-ended technical and organizational problems\nPreferred Qualifications\nPhD in physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related subject\nBackground in relevant subjects such as quantum computing, quantum information science, and atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics\nAt least 2 to 5 years of experience managing execution of complex technical products and / or projects in high tech industries\nExperience with low-level programming (e.g., Rust, C++), compiler engineering, and / or related tooling for control systems\nExperience with building traceable product requirements and / or systems engineering for hardware-software interfaces\nStrong track record of translating emerging research into pragmatic product requirements and developer-ready deliverables\nWhat a Successful First Year Looks Like\nThe approximate base salary range for this position is $150,000 - $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. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4359,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Quantum Science & Computing","Quantum Computing Hardware"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T12:19:24Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 10","filings_12m":10,"filings_prev_12m":8,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":177500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.561,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":92,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/quera-computing-technical-product-manager-control-system","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/quera-computing-technical-product-manager-control-system.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T19:13:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28172,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":179594},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=179594"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fquera-computing-technical-product-manager-control-system"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fquera-computing-technical-product-manager-control-system"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fquera-computing-technical-product-manager-control-system"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/quera-computing-technical-product-manager-control-system\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fquera-computing-technical-product-manager-control-system"}]}
