Job Title:SeniorTechnicalProduct Manager- quantum computing servicesJob Type:Full-timeJob Location:Boston, MAReports to:Vice President of Quantum Computing ServicesSummaryQuEra is seeking a SeniorTechnicalProduct Manager to join the Quantum Computing Services team at our Boston headquarters.You will play a foundational role in shaping the company's product strategy andprocesses andtakingresponsibilityfor the success ofour products and services.The team'smission is to transform neutral atom quantum computing technology into products and servicesofferingcutting-edgequantum computing functionality, delivered both via the cloud and as managedon-premisesolutions, andinterfacedby usersvia a variety ofin-house and third-partysoftware. Asthe SeniorTPM, you will partner closely with scientists, engineers, executives, and customers to define, communicate, and deliver theroadmapfor quantum computing products and services.You will gather and synthesize both functional and non-functional requirements from customers, translating them into a clear and actionable product roadmap. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will ensure that development efforts are bothfeasibleandtimely, delivering solutions that meet customer needs. In addition, you will drive project and program management activities to align with key milestones, ensuring execution stays on track and goals are achieved.In-depth exploration and a solid grasp of application algorithms for NISQ and early FTQC will be essential in shaping product features and roadmap priorities. This role calls for comprehensive technicalexpertiseacross the quantum computing stack-including hardware, control systems, compilers, quantum error correction, and algorithmic software. Given the product's early stage, advancing both the maturity and stability of the technology is paramount. Success will require the ability to navigate complex trade-offs, balancing the push for rapid feature development with the need to ensure system robustness and reliability.Initial ProjectsYear 1-2:Define, deliver, and execute a roadmap of products and services built on QuEra's Gemini-class platform, enabling customers to access and develop on QuEra's first-generation gate-based systems.Managescope and timelines to meet both functional and non-functional requirements, ensuringa high levelof customer satisfaction. Through successful product development, demonstrate QuEra's QPU as the leading choice for executing algorithms in select, high-impact use cases.Bloqade, QuEra'sopen-sourcesoftware forcreating,simulatingand executing quantumprogram,will be a core part of the offerings andwillrequire productmanagement in its own right, aspart of therole'sscope.Year 2-3:Extend this roadmap to QuEra'snext generation, QECQPUplatform, supporting continuous supply of qubits,andlogical,error-corrected quantum computation.This roadmap needs to be aligned with our long-term technical roadmap for 2027 and 2029.In parallel, you willestablishand operate a product management process to synthesize, negotiate, document, and track requirements across internal and external stakeholders.ResponsibilitiesAs Senior Technical Product Manager, you will be expected to lead and drive the following activities:Define and articulate the product vision and roadmapfor QuEra's quantum computing services (cloud-based andon-premise), ensuring alignment with company strategy and customer needs.Gather and synthesize requirementsfrom physicists, engineers, application developers, and customers across hardware, software, and operational domains.Translate technical requirements into actionable deliverables, including structured product specifications, prioritized backlogs, and feature timelines.Collaborate with engineering and R&D teamstodeliver againstspecifications and milestones, balancing competing priorities, resource constraints, and technical uncertainties.Lead product launch planning and execution, including customer adoption strategies, success metrics, and go-to-market support for new systems and services.Establish,operate, and continuously refine product management processes, ensuring effective communication, decision-making, and execution across the company.You will also be expected to contribute to the following:Collaborate with application developers and scientific partnerson pilot projects, benchmarking efforts, and use-case validation.Incorporate customer feedback and market insightsinto technical development and roadmap prioritization.Support quality assurance, system integration, and operational readiness, ensuring reliable delivery of products and services.Contribute to business development activities, including customer demos, RFP responses, and strategic partnerships that expand QuEra's market presence.QualificationsProven experience (7+ years) inproduct managementor technical leadership roles, ideally in deep-tech fields (quantum computing, HPC, semiconductors, complex hardware/software systems).Strong technical background with the ability to engage deeply across thequantum computing stack-from hardware and control systems to compilers, quantum error correction, and algorithmic software.Advanced degree in physics, engineering, or computer science.Demonstrated success building and managing roadmaps that bridge science, engineering, and business needs.Ability to succinctly capture requirements and convert them into actionable specifications and structured backlogs.Experience with software and/or hardware lifecycle management, from prototyping to deployment and support.Proven success inproject and program management, balancing scope, timelines, and resources while navigating technical and organizational ambiguity.Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both technical experts and business stakeholders.Willingness to travel periodically to customer and machine locations worldwide.Preferred:Proficiencywith product management tools (e.g., Atlassian suite, Aha!) and agile methodologies.Direct experience inquantum computing research, product development, or application algorithms(NISQ and early FTQC).Familiarity withcloud-based services, managed infrastructure offerings, and enterprise adoption of emerging technologies.Experience supportingcustomer-facing activitiessuch as pilot projects, benchmarking, RFPs, and strategic partnerships.Demonstrated ability toestablishand scaleproduct management processeswithin a growing organizationWe consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly.
