Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd: * Direct experience integrating or hosting physical quantum hardware in a data center or HPC environment. * Deep knowledge of quantum-classical orchestration, low-latency data paths, scientific application support, and/or real-time control considerations. * Experience working with NVIDIA tools and frameworks. * Experience bridging experimental research teams and production infrastructure. ## Description 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. What you'll be doing:: Hybrid Quantum-HPC Platform Engineering * 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, scientific applications, and orchestration frameworks such as CUDA-Q, cuQuantum, NVQlink, Slurm, and related toolchains. HPC Systems & Operations * Be responsible for the reliability, performance, administrations, and lifecycle management of the Quantum environment, including Linux systems, QPU hardware, job schedulers (e.g., Slurm), networking, containerized applications, and storage. * Work closely with networking and facilities teams to ensure power, cooling, timing, environmental controls, and low-latency connectivity meet quantum hardware requirements Vendor & Partner Collaboration * Serve as a technical interface to quantum hardware partners, collaborating on system bring-up, connectivity, control interfaces, and co-design opportunities. * Help define hosting, systems architecture, and integration requirements for new quantum systems entering the facility. Application Enablement & Performance * Partner with internal researchers and engineers to deploy, optimize, and benchmark hybrid workloads across simulation, quantum error correction, calibration, optimization, and machine learning. * Prototype, document, and evaluate end-to-end workflows that demonstrate the capabilities of the platform. * Support researchers with application solving and standard methodologies. ## Related Videos - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Quantum DevOps - Quantum Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1441-quantum-devops-quantum-application-development) - [Instant KAI Sandboxes with vCluster: Multi-Tenant, Multi-Scheduler GPU Sharing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100333-instant-kai-sandboxes-with-vcluster-multi-tenant-multi-scheduler-gpu-sharing) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
