Sr Technical Product Manager HPC Integration

• 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:
• Power cooling networking physical integration.
• Scheduler integration (Slurm PBS AWS Batch Kubernetes).
• Security compliance and monitoring needs.
• Define product specifications for Quantum-Classical Integration Interfaces (QCII) the APIs SDKs and orchestration layers that enable hybrid workloads.

• Build a partner map for each value chain layer:
• Hardware partners: compute (NVIDIA AMD ARM) interconnect (Infiniband) storage (DDN AWS FSx).
• Cloud/HPC providers: AWS Microsoft Azure Google Cloud HPE Cray NVIDIA DGX Cloud.
• System Integrators: Dell HPE
• Middleware/software partners: Slurm
• Application/industry partners
• Lead technical discussions and joint proof-of-concept programs with selected partners.
• Evaluate integration options e.g. on-prem quantum node vs. cloud-connected quantum service.

• Define a phased integration roadmap for quantum into HPC centers and AI data center:
• Simulation stage: Run QuEra simulators on HPC clusters.
• Hybrid orchestration stage: Enable joint scheduling of classical quantum workloads.
• Native quantum accelerator stage: Deploy QuEra hardware within HPC/AI center or connect over high-speed link.
• Balance build/partner decisions at each stage ensuring scalability and differentiation.

• Act as the bridge between technical R&D engineering business development and external partners.
• Create clear documentation (requirements docs partner briefs integration specs).
• 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 23 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 $00.
