- Own the definition, integration, and validation of fully integrated quantum node systems
- Define system architecture, build plans, and system-level requirements that translate innovation into buildable systems
- Lead cross-functional integration across hardware, chips, and software to deliver fully functional quantum systems
- Own system validation, verification, and readiness, ensuring systems meet performance, reliability, and quality expectations
- Establish stage-gating, build cycles, and release processes that drive predictable system delivery
- Build and scale a quality organization responsible for system integrity, test strategy, and acceptance criteria
- Identify integration risks early and drive resolution across teams before they impact system builds
- Drive accountability across engineering for end-to-end system performance
- Bring structure to ambiguity, drive cross-functional alignment, and establish discipline for repeatable system builds

Requirements

- Deep experience in systems engineering for complex, multidisciplinary products (hardware + software + integration)
- Robust background in requirements definition, system architecture, integration, and validation
- Experience establishing quality, release, and stage-gating processes in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Ability to operate across organizational boundaries with authority, aligning multiple senior stakeholders
- Proven ability to bring structure, clarity, and execution discipline to evolving systems
- Experience using AI/LLM-assisted workflows and analytics features with an understanding of limitations, validation steps, and data governance
