System Commissioning Engineer

65 Days Old

Quantum computing holds the promise of humanity's mastery over the natural world, but only if we can build a real quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real, useful quantum computers, capable of delivering the world-changing applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault-tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture, and a data center footprint.
By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today's most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and more.
PsiQuantum has identified the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer, years ahead of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics, enabling high-volume manufacturing at Tier-1 fabs like GlobalFoundries, leveraging existing semiconductor processes used in billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photons' resistance to heat and electromagnetic interference allows us to utilize existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry-standard fiber connectivity.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced two government-funded projects to develop our first Quantum Data Centers and utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These projects are supported by nations recognizing quantum computing's potential impact. We will build hardware and develop fault-tolerant quantum applications to achieve industry-transforming results.
Quantum computing is not just an evolution of traditional compute power but a key to mastering our future. The potential is enormous, and we have a plan to make it real. Join us on this extraordinary journey!
We are seeking exceptional talent to help us realize this vision.
