Hiring Manager
Dayna W.
Responsibilities
Build, deploy, and operate a hybrid computing platform combining large-scale NVIDIA GPU clusters with physical quantum processors (neutral atom, trapped ion, superconducting, and future modalities)
Integrate quantum control systems and access nodes with HPC infrastructure using APIs, middleware, and orchestration frameworks such as CUDA-Q, cuQuantum, NVQlink, and related toolchains
Develop and refine hybrid execution workflows that coordinate GPU computation, quantum execution, and data movement across tightly coupled systems
Be responsible for the reliability, performance, and lifecycle management of the Quantum environment, including Linux systems, QPU hardware, job schedulers (e.g., Slurm), networking, and storage
Work closely with networking and facilities teams to ensure power, cooling, timing, environmental controls, and low-latency connectivity meet quantum hardware requirements
Serve as a technical interface to quantum hardware partners, collaborating on system bring-up, connectivity, control interfaces, and co-design opportunities
Help define hosting, networking, and integration requirements for new quantum systems entering the facility
Partner with internal researchers and engineers to deploy, optimize, and benchmark hybrid workloads across simulation, quantum error correction, calibration, optimization, and machine learning
Prototype and evaluate end-to-end workflows that demonstrate the capabilities of the platform
Produce clear internal documentation, integration guides, and operational runbooks to enable broader adoption of the platform
Represent the organization at technical workshops, conferences, and industry forums when appropriate
Qualification
Required
12+ years of hands-on experience operating HPC or large-scale compute infrastructure in production environments
Bachelor's degree or Master's degree with equivalent experience in Physics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience (PhD a plus)
Strong background in Linux systems administration, job schedulers (Slurm or equivalent), and computing environments committed to reliable operation
Proven experience working in data center environments, including networking, storage, power, and operational constraints
Familiarity with quantum computing concepts and hardware architectures (neutral atom, trapped ion, superconducting, photonic)
Experience with or strong interest in quantum software environments including CUDA-Q, Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, Braket, or similar
Solid understanding of GPU-accelerated computing and heterogeneous systems
Proficiency in Python and/or C++ for automation, API integration, and workflow orchestration
Comfort working across system boundaries: control systems, APIs, networking, and performance tooling
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with experimental scientists, systems engineers, and external partners
Preferred
Direct experience integrating or hosting physical quantum hardware in a data center or HPC environment
Deep knowledge of quantum–classical orchestration, low-latency data paths, or real-time control considerations
Experience working with NVIDIA tools and frameworks
Experience bridging experimental research teams and production infrastructure
