Technology Roadmap Manager

The Technology Roadmap Manager supports the VP Product and Engineering leadership by structuring consolidating and communicating the companys technology and R&D roadmap. The role focuses on long-term planning R&D initiatives and cross-team alignment translating engineering inputs into clear roadmaps planning artifacts and internal as well as external-facing reports. We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Expert with deep expertise in quantum computing who can collaborate closely with Quantum Motions multidisciplinary technical teams and has strong synthesis planning and communication skills.

This role is focused on long-term quantum technology and R&D roadmapping not product management or technical delivery execution. It is an individual contributor role that offers high visibility across quantum R&D engineering and company leadership and directly feeds into Quantum Motions technology strategy.

Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the Top 100 Startups worth watchingin the EE Times and our technology breakthroughs have been featured inThe TelegraphBBC and theNew Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. Were backed by a team of top-tier investors and we have recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million.

We bring together the brightest quantum engineers integrated circuit (IC) engineers quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a rare deeply interdisciplinary environment where software directly accelerates breakthrough physics.
