About the role

We are looking to add a Senior Technical Program Manager to support our software development efforts. You will pair with technical leads to plan and execute a continuous stream of small projects that support the software build-out and development of automation capabilities to fabricate and operate our quantum hardware.

Responsibilities

• Identify opportunities where in-house developed software can streamline our internal hardware and software workflows.
• Develop requirement documents that translate customer needs into software workable solutions.
• In collaboration with our software managers, develop plans (including identifying resources) to develop our internal software platforms.
• Support the internal roll-out and adoption of these tools.
• Compile customer feedback and use this to drive incremental improvements of existing software tools.

• 5+ years of experience interfacing with software/hardware teams in an academic or R&D space
• Experience communicating with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Skills

• Familiarity with system engineering topics that intersect with project management, such as quantitative risk management, reviews, and requirements management is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with cloud-based architectures, ideally based on Amazon Web Services.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Familiarity with the layers of the quantum computing stack and the quantum devices lifecycle would be an advantage.
