This requires more than strong individual domains - it requires an engineering organization that can staff, support, and coordinate critical engineering and science work as one execution-focused team. As SVP, Engineering , you will own the end-to-end performance of engineering across Hardware, Integrated Photonics, Software, and related scientific work. You will align deeply technical domains into a coherent execution model, establish the operating rhythm for engineering (cadence, decision-making, accountability), and drive delivery at company scale.

This is a high-impact, high-accountability role where success is measured by milestone achievement, coordinated execution, and tangible technical progress - not activity, not progress in isolation. Lead and scale a multi-disciplinary engineering organization through VP-level leaders across hardware, chips, software, and related scientific work Establish the operating rhythm for engineering, including planning frameworks, execution cadence, decision-making processes, and clear accountability models Drive alignment across engineering and science domains to ensure end-to-end execution from research through critical milestone delivery Own delivery outcomes at the company level, ensuring that engineering is staffed, supported, and organized to deliver defined technical milestones on explicit timelines Build and continuously strengthen a high-performing leadership bench, including hiring, structuring, and developing senior technical leaders Introduce execution discipline, program rigour,



and quality standards without slowing innovation or technical momentum Identify and resolve cross-functional risks early, particularly in integration, architecture evolution, and scaling constraints Act as a core partner to the executive team, shaping priorities, sequencing work, and ensuring engineering is aligned with company strategy Proven experience leading large, complex engineering organizations across multiple technical domains through senior leaders Copilot, natural-language querying, AI-supported narrative summaries) with an understanding of limitations, validation steps, and data governance. comfortable presenting insights to both technical teams and executives.

Experience in quantum computing, semiconductors, photonics, or other similarly complex deep-tech environments History of building engineering organizations from early stage through scale, including defining structure, cadence, and governance Regular social events and fun activities keep our global team connected Competitive compensation package including base salary, stock options, and relocation assistance for global talent Comprehensive benefits including extended health, dental, life, long term disability, an employee assistance program, parental leave top-ups, and a flexible spending account While artificial intelligence (AI) tools may be used to assist in reviewing applicant profiles, they do not determine candidate outcomes.
