Director Qiskit Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. They are seeking a Senior Quantum/HPC Systems Engineer to help architect, deploy, and operate a first-of-its-kind NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Computing center. This role involves leading the technical ownership of a GPU supercomputing environment integrated with quantum systems.
Responsibilities:
• 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, middleware, and orchestration frameworks such as CUDA-Q, cuQuantum, NVQlink, and related toolchains.
• Develop and refine hybrid execution workflows that coordinate GPU computation, quantum execution, and data movement across tightly coupled systems.
• Be responsible for the reliability, performance, and lifecycle management of the Quantum environment, including Linux systems, QPU hardware, job schedulers (e.g., Slurm), networking, and storage.
• Work closely with networking and facilities teams to ensure power, cooling, timing, environmental controls, and low-latency connectivity meet quantum hardware requirements.
• Serve as a technical interface to quantum hardware partners, collaborating on system bring-up, connectivity, control interfaces, and co-design opportunities.
• Help define hosting, networking, and integration requirements for new quantum systems entering the facility.
• Partner with internal researchers and engineers to deploy, optimize, and benchmark hybrid workloads across simulation, quantum error correction, calibration, optimization, and machine learning.
• Prototype and evaluate end-to-end workflows that demonstrate the capabilities of the platform.
• Produce clear internal documentation, integration guides, and operational runbooks to enable broader adoption of the platform.
• Represent the organization at technical workshops, conferences, and industry forums when appropriate.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 10+ years of hands-on experience operating HPC or large-scale compute infrastructure in production environments.
• Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree with equivalent experience in Physics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience (PhD a plus).
• Strong background in Linux systems administration, job schedulers (Slurm or equivalent), and computing environments committed to reliable operation.
• Proven experience working in data center environments, including networking, storage, power, and operational constraints.
• Familiarity with quantum computing concepts and hardware architectures (neutral atom, trapped ion, superconducting, photonic).
• Experience with or strong interest in quantum software environments including CUDA-Q, Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, Braket, or similar.
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++ for automation, API integration, and workflow orchestration.
• Comfort working across system boundaries: control systems, APIs, networking, and performance tooling.
Preferred:
• 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, or real-time control considerations.
• Experience working with NVIDIA tools and frameworks.
• Experience bridging experimental research teams and production infrastructure.
