## Description

We are seeking a Senior Systems Architect to lead the system-level design frameworks and tooling that enable our Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) technology to be deployed across global Quantum Computing and High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures. In this role, you will own the development of parameterized Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools, full-stack quantum computer blueprints, and standard component libraries. Acting as a key technical lead, you will work closely with system integrators, QPU roadmap teams, and supply chain partners to ensure optimised, deployment ready quantum system designs., * System Blueprinting & Co-Design: Architect parameterized full-stack quantum computer blueprints (covering QPU requirements, thermal budgets, RF signal paths, cryogenic systems, HPC integration, etc.). Work with partners to co-design systems around our QPUs.

 * MBSE Tool Development: Own the development and implementation of our Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tool, defining system modeling structure, logic, trade-offs. Collaborate closely with our Software Development teams on implementation.
 * Component Libraries: Build, curate, and maintain standardized component libraries aligning with system models. Identify supply chain trade-offs, interface requirements, risks, etc. Collaborate closely with supply chain management to ensure supply chain readiness.
 * HPC-Quantum Interfacing: Define and architect hardware-software control interfaces bridging classical HPC job schedulers (e.g., SLURM, Qaptiva) with the QPU calibration and control layer.
 * Ecosystem Alignment: Identify interface, cost, and timeline mismatches between our QPUs and required third-party system components, partnering with Ecosystem Managers to resolve gaps and ensure seamless integration for partner SIs.
