Deeply study academic and industry papers on quantum-classical hybrid workflows, quantum HPC/AI Data center integration, and the accelerations of AI for Science/Quantum discovery via quantum computing.
Identify high-value use cases (e.g., quantum chemistry, materials discovery, cryptoanalysis, optimization) relevant to HPC and AI centers
Translate theoretical research into practical product requirements — what integration, APIs, or software layers are needed to run these use cases.
Collaborate with research teams to maintain technical credibility when engaging HPC customers or partners.
Co-design solutions with lighthouse customers to verify the feasibility
Use the HPC value chain framework (hardware → integration → data center → middleware → workloads → services) to:
Map current players (AWS, HPE, NVIDIA, etc.) and their quantum readiness.
Identify where quantum computing fits within this chain (e.g., as accelerator hardware, a cloud service, or a hybrid scheduler layer).
Define which layers QuEra should own vs. partner — e.g.:
Own: Quantum hardware, quantum control stack.
Partner: Data center operations, cloud orchestration, middleware, hybrid execution APIs.
Gather technical and operational requirements from HPC and AI center operators:
Define product specifications for Quantum-Classical Integration Interfaces (QCII) — the APIs, SDKs, and orchestration layers that enable hybrid workloads.
Communicate effectively with HPC operators and enterprise customers (translating quantum complexity into operational language).
A complete map of the HPC/AI ecosystem relevant to quantum integration.
Clear technical and operational requirements for deploying QuEra hardware in HPC centers.
At least 2–3 strategic technical partnerships (e.g., with AWS, HPE, or NVIDIA).
Defined build-vs-partner strategy for each value chain layer.
Delivery of hybrid quantum-classical prototype or proof-of-concept within HPC environment.
The approximate base salary range for this position is $170,000-250,000.
