About the role

  • We are building quantum computing systems that push the boundary of what is physically possible. Doing so requires a rare combination of scientific depth, engineering rigor, and operational maturity.
  • Our Quantum Control Platform sits at the heart of this effort, translating physics breakthroughs into executable engineering across hardware, software, optics, embedded systems, and automation. As we scale, we are looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager to serve as the operational backbone between our quantum physics research team and our

Responsibilities

  • Build full traceable requirement hierarchies from top-level physics goals down to subsystem specifications
  • You will own and elevate the requirements process, not just participate in it.

Requirements

  • 8-15+ years of experience in technical product management within deep-tech, hardware-centric, multi-disciplinary environments
  • Experience with dedicated requirements management tools such as Jama or Aha
  • The ability to engage meaningfully with PhD-level scientists and systems engineers

Nice to have

  • Direct experience with quantum computing hardware or quantum software stacks
  • Familiarity with neutral atom systems
  • Experience with optical system integration, laser control, or free-space beam control
  • Familiarity with calibration workflows, qubit characterization, or QPU benchmarking
  • A fully traceable requirement hierarchy from physics goals to subsystem specifications
  • Governance frameworks embedded in Jira and Confluence and operating sustainably
  • What Success Looks Like in Year One
  • Engineering teams executing against documented requirements with clear acceptance criteria

Skills

  • Cover domains including control electronics, embedded systems, optics, calibration workflows, and automation
  • Define clear acceptance criteria and validation plans at every level
  • Ensure no critical requirement lives informally in someone's head
  • Defining standardized requirement templates
  • Establishing definition-of-ready and definition-of-done criteria
  • Implementing milestone readiness frameworks
  • Institutionalizing documentation governance within Jira and Confluence
  • Ensuring proper decomposition, traceability, ownership, and auditability
  • Structure requirements so they are consumable by agile hardware and software teams
  • Decompose physics goals into Jira epics and stories while preserving validation rigor
  • Participate fluently in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives
  • Operate effectively in hybrid delivery environments where hardware constraints meet agile cadence

Compensation

  • Salary: $170,000-250,000QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

  • Requirements Translation & Traceability
  • You will work directly with quantum physicists to extract scientific intent - goals such as enabling a logical non-Clifford gate, achieving specific QPU-level performance milestones, or meeting target fidelity thresholds - and translate them into structured, executable engineering requirements.
