Engineering Director

Quantum Source is building a fault-tolerant, compound photon-atom quantum computer. We're a young, multidisciplinary team combining quantum physics, optics, mechanical engineering, hardware, firmware, and software.<br id="isPasted">Getting to fault tolerance and beyond requires classical compute infrastructure operating at a scale most engineering organizations never confront: real-time control loops synchronized across enormous numbers of physical qubits, error correction decoding running against microsecond latency budgets, and orchestration layers that will eventually bridge into HPC to run useful quantum algorithms.<br>We're looking for an Engineering Manager to build an organization that carries our system through scale-up — recruiting and building out the group, setting the technical roadmap for control, real-time error correction, and orchestration, and designing the architecture and HPC interfaces the machine will need as it grows from tens of qubits to orders of magnitude beyond.<br>This is as much an organization-building role as an engineering one. You'll hire and grow teams across FPGA/embedded, real-time software, and distributed systems, while staying technical enough to make architecture calls yourself in the near term.
