Group Product Manager - Quantum Networking

Requirements:

• 8+ years of professional experience in product management for technical, hardware-adjacent, or research-driven products, with experience shipping at the intersection of physical devices and software, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Bachelor's degree in physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Working fluency in quantum optics and/or photonics — sufficient to engage substantively with engineers and researchers on ion–photon interfaces, entanglement protocols, photonic component trade-offs, and detector physics.
• Strong grounding in classical networking — protocols, architecture, control planes, time synchronization, and how distributed systems handle latency, scheduling, and reliability.
• Demonstrated SaaS product experience — you've shipped cloud or API products at scale and understand what makes a backend technology feel like a product to a developer.
• Track record of leading complex, cross-functional programs without formal authority and earning the trust of senior engineering and research counterparts.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical trade-offs into clear narratives for executives, customers, and external audiences.
• Preferred Qualifications:
• Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in physics, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on product or engineering experience with quantum repeaters, quantum memories, or QKD systems.
• Background working with trapped-ion, neutral-atom, or other matter-qubit modalities.
• Experience working with US government and defense customers (NIST, IARPA, DOE, DoD).
• Active involvement in relevant standards bodies (IETF QIRG, ETSI ISG QKD, etc.).
