HPC and Quantum Systems Engineer

Job Description

Job Title: Senior HPC and Quantum Systems Engineer. Location: Westford, MA, USA with remote options in MA, CT, and NH

This is a systems engineering role, not a pure research or traditional HPC administrator role; The engineer will work closely with quantum hardware, data center systems, and research teams to turn experimental platforms into reliable production infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

• Design, deploy, and operate hybrid systems that combine large scale GPU clusters with quantum processors including neutral atom, trapped ion, and superconducting systems
• Integrate quantum control systems with HPC infrastructure using APIs, middleware, and orchestration frameworks
• Develop hybrid workflows that coordinate GPU computation, quantum execution, and data transfer

HPC Systems and Operations

• Ensure reliability, performance, and lifecycle management of Linux systems, QPU hardware, job schedulers such as Slurm, networking, and storage
• Work with networking and facilities teams to manage power, cooling, timing, and low latency connectivity required for quantum hardware
• Maintain production level stability for the Quantum environment

Vendor and Partner Collaboration

• Act as a technical contact for quantum hardware partners during system setup and integration
• Define hosting, networking, and integration requirements for new quantum systems entering the facility
• Support co design and system bring up activities

Application Enablement and Performance

• Work with researchers and engineers to deploy and benchmark hybrid workloads including quantum error correction, calibration, optimization, simulation, and machine learning
• Prototype and evaluate full workflow performance across classical and quantum systems

Technical Leadership

• Create internal documentation, integration guides, and operational runbooks
• Represent the organization at workshops, conferences, and technical forums when required

Qualifications:

• 12 or more years of hands on experience operating HPC or large scale production compute infrastructure
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• Strong experience with Linux systems administration and job schedulers such as Slurm;
• Proven experience working in data center environments including networking, storage, and power systems
• Familiarity with quantum computing hardware architectures including neutral atom, trapped ion, superconducting, or photonic systems
• Experience with quantum software environments such as CUDA Q, Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, or Braket
• Strong understanding of GPU accelerated and heterogeneous computing;
• Proficiency in Python or C++ for automation and system integration
• Ability to work across control systems, APIs, networking layers, and performance tools
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Preferred:

• Direct experience integrating or hosting physical quantum hardware in an HPC or data center environment
• Deep understanding of quantum classical orchestration and low latency system design
• Experience working with NVIDIA tools and frameworks;
• Experience supporting both research teams and production infrastructure

Benefits and Compensation:

• Competitive base salary
  • Level 5: 224,000 USD to 356,500 USD
  • Level 6: 272,000 USD to 431,250 USD
• Eligibility for equity and comprehensive benefits;
• Access to a strong benefits program for employees and families
• Opportunity to work on one of the most advanced GPU and quantum integration platforms in the world
