Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Manager, Quantum Systems Validation - **Company:** PSI Quantum - **Location:** Milpitas, CA, United States - **Salary:** $182,200.0 - $214,100.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Data Infrastructure, Software Debugging, Fault Tolerance, Firmware, Quantum Computing, Software Requirements Analysis, System Integration Testing - **Published:** October 2, 2026 - **Apply:** https://diversityjobs.com/main/sendform/8/8/28176/1/18494842?backUrl=%2Fcareer%2F18494842%2FManager-Quantum-Systems-Validation-California-Milpitas ## About the Role * Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical projects involving the integration of optical and electronic hardware, firmware, software, and data infrastructure. * Demonstrated experience with some, or all, of the following: + Quantum optics, single photon generation and detection + Quantum characterization, verification, and validation + Integrated silicon photonics + Mixed-signal, analog, RF electronics design and test + Electro-optical device design and test * Demonstrated ability to design and execute complex experiments or engineering tests in a cross-functional environment. * Proven team player with an ability to work effectively across departments, sites, time zones. * Excellent verbal and written communication skills with an ability to communicate effectively to a variety of audiences including senior leadership and technical experts. * Demonstrated interest in PsiQuantum's mission and vision for quantum computing, with an ability to contribute within a fast-paced start-up environment consistent with PsiQuantum's values of communication, collaboration, respect, results, and challenge. ## Description At PsiQuantum we are developing and testing prototype subsystems which will scale into a datacenter-sized, fault-tolerant quantum computer. These subsystems each perform a specific function of the quantum computer to generate entangled states of photons that, when scaled up and networked together, collectively enable quantum error correction and quantum algorithms. The successful candidate will lead a focused team to validate the performance of one or more fully integrated quantum subsystems, including photonic, optic, cryogenic, electronic, electro-optical, firmware, and software aspects. The team will plan and execute design validation testing of the subsystem, define and validate automated self-test functions, and develop novel quantum characterization, verification, and validation techniques for photonic qubit states., * Manage the validation team of the quantum subsystem, including technical oversight, project management, talent management, performance evaluations, and coaching. * Develop validation and verification plans, and execute to deliver on these objectives within a demanding development schedule. * Plan and execute system integration test points of hardware, firmware, software, to ensure that issues are identified and debugged at an appropriate level of integration before the full subsystem test. * Lead the definition and documentation of the quantum and semi-classical calibration, self-test, and diagnostic functions of the subsystem. Define and validate quantum tests at intermediate points in the quantum computer, to verify the quantum photonic states being generated meet system requirements. * Provide cross-functional support to other engineering teams by communicating design-for-test requirements, calibration requirements, data acquisition and processing requirements, performance data, and debugging support for all issues arising during subsystem-level tests. * Lead the assessment of the subsystem's in situ performance evaluation while it is operated within a larger system. ## Related Videos - [Quantum Computing - How Does It Work, How Will it Affect Us and When?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100293-quantum-computing-how-does-it-work-how-will-it-affect-us-and-when) - [Quantum DevOps - Quantum Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1441-quantum-devops-quantum-application-development) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [System Resilience: Surviving the Software Storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/874-system-resilience-surviving-the-software-storm) - [Quantum computing for developers: Solving optimization problems with Qiskit](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/777-quantum-computing-for-developers-solving-optimization-problems-with-qiskit) - [Quantum Computing - The tiny and the big challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/934-quantum-computing-the-tiny-and-the-big-challenges) ## 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) - [Data Science & more: The Lopez dilemma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/10-data-science-more-the-lopez-dilemma) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [ I Gave a Video Editor More Autonomy Than a Trading Bot.
