Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~45% per draw at Level III). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

Files H-1B transfers
4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- These modules and subsystems require regular calibration to ensure reliable generation of single photons and entangled states that underpin our quantum computing architecture.
- This role has direct influence on how calibration is architected as a scalable system function.
- It shapes how electro-optic subsystems behave in production environments where uptime, automation, and repeatability are critical.
Responsibilities
- Lead system-level calibration risk analysis and mitigation planning across hardware, firmware, and software interfaces
- Develop requirements for hardware, firmware, and software teams to meet uptime and performance targets
- Own and optimize calibration strategy against uptime requirements
- Develop modeling and analytical tools to understand how component-level electro-optic calibrations behave and interact when integrated into the full system
- Specify test requirements to validate and de-risk calibrations at various levels of integration testing
- Write control software to implement calibration procedures in our software stack
- Lead ad-hoc cross-functional working groups to collaboratively develop and refine high-risk calibrations
Requirements
- M.S. with 5+ years of industry experience or Ph.D. with 3+ years of industry experience in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline
- Hands-on experience designing, characterizing, or calibrating electro-optic devices and systems
- Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear requirements, models, or system frameworks
- Experience developing and integrating complex systems spanning optical and electronic hardware, firmware, software, and data acquisition, including cross-functional collaboration
- Experience developing and integrating complex systems across optical/electronic hardware, firmware, and software, including cross-functional collaboration
Nice to have
- Experience with integrated photonics, RF systems, or high-speed optical switching
- Experience with system-level modeling, uptime analysis, or performance optimization
- Track record of leading cross-functional technical efforts or driving alignment across teams
- Demonstrated interest in quantum computing or related advanced technologies
- Please report any suspicious activity to recruiting@psiquantum.com.
- One is for the Bay Area (within 50 miles of HQ, Palo Alto), the second one (if applicable) is for elsewhere in the US (beyond 50 miles of HQ, Palo Alto).
- Base pay is subject to change and may be modified in the future.
Compensation
- $148,000 - $163,000 USD
- Bay Area Pay Range
- $180,000 - $195,000 USD
Company info
- We are not accepting unsolicited resumes from employment agencies.
- At PsiQuantum, we are developing and testing prototype modules that will scale into a datacenter-sized, fault-tolerant quantum computer.
