About the role

  • VP, Systems integrating Photonic’s quantum nodes across hardware, chips, and software. Establishing architecture, validation, quality, and repeatable delivery processes.

Responsibilities

  • Own the definition, integration, and validation of fully integrated quantum node systems
  • Define system architecture, build plans, and system-level requirements that translate innovation into buildable systems
  • Lead cross-functional integration across hardware, chips, and software to deliver fully functional quantum systems
  • Own system validation, verification, and readiness, ensuring systems meet performance, reliability, and quality expectations
  • Establish stage-gating, build cycles, and release processes that drive predictable system delivery
  • Build and scale a quality organization responsible for system integrity, test strategy, and acceptance criteria
  • Identify integration risks early and drive resolution across teams before they impact system builds
  • Drive accountability across engineering for end-to-end system performance
  • Bring structure to ambiguity, drive cross-functional alignment, and establish discipline for repeatable system builds

Requirements

  • Deep experience in systems engineering for complex, multidisciplinary products (hardware + software + integration)
  • Strong background in requirements definition, system architecture, integration, and validation

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting insights to both technical teams and executives
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple requests with competing deadlines
  • Experience in quantum, photonics, telecom, or semiconductor systems
  • Background building novel platforms or first-of-their-kind systems—not just incremental products
  • Expertise in system architecture frameworks, requirements tooling, and validation methodologies
  • Cover letter with resume (in one file)

Benefits

  • Work closely with some of the brightest innovators in quantum technologies to drive breakthroughs that redefine computing
  • Enjoy a fast-paced and fun environment where you can try new things while solving innovative challenges every day
  • Inclusive company culture that values collaboration
  • Regular social events and fun activities keep our global team connected
  • Competitive compensation package including stock options and relocation assistance for global talent
