We are seeking a Senior HPC & Quantum Systems Engineer to help architect, deploy, and operate a first‑of‑its‑kind Accelerated Quantum Computing Center in the Boston area! This role sits at the intersection of data center infrastructure, high‑performance computing, and emerging quantum systems, and will be essential to turning experimental quantum hardware into a reliable, high‑impact research platform. You will lead all aspects of the day‑to‑day technical ownership of a tightly coupled GPU supercomputing environment coordinated with multiple quantum modalities.

This is not a pure research role nor a traditional HPC admin role—it is a systems engineering position dedicated to exploring quantum computing integration with classical systems. This role is ideal for someone who has built and operated production HPC environments, understands low‑level systems and networking, and is excited to work hands‑on with quantum hardware as it transitions from lab prototypes to operational infrastructure.

• Build, deploy, and operate a hybrid computing platform combining large‑scale NVIDIA GPU clusters with physical quantum processors (neutral atom, trapped ion, superconducting, and future modalities).
• Integrate quantum control systems and access nodes with HPC infrastructure using APIs, middleware, and orchestration frameworks such as CUDA‑Q, cu Quantum, NVQlink, and related tool chains.
• Develop and refine hybrid execution workflows that coordinate GPU computation, quantum execution, and data movement across tightly coupled systems.

• Be responsible for the reliability, performance, and lifecycle management of the Quantum environment, including Linux systems, QPU hardware, job schedulers (e.g., Slurm), networking, and storage.
• Work closely with networking and facilities teams to ensure power, cooling, timing, environmental controls, and low‑latency connectivity meet quantum hardware requirements.

• Serve as a technical interface to quantum hardware partners, collaborating on system bring‑up, connectivity, control interfaces, and co‑design opportunities.
• Help define hosting, networking, and integration requirements for new quantum systems entering the facility.

• Partner with internal researchers and engineers to deploy, optimise, and benchmark hybrid workloads across simulation, quantum error correction, calibration, optimisation, and machine learning.
• Prototype and evaluate end‑to‑end workflows that demonstrate the capabilities of the platform.

• Produce clear internal documentation, integration guides, and operational runbooks to enable broader adoption of the platform.
• Represent the organization at technical workshops, conferences, and industry forums when appropriate.

• 12+ years of hands‑on experience operating HPC or large‑scale compute infrastructure in production environments.
• Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree with equivalent experience in Physics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience (PhD a plus).
• Strong background in Linux systems administration, job schedulers (Slurm or equivalent), and computing environments committed to reliable operation.
• Proven experience working in data center environments, including networking, storage, power, and operational…
