Quantum Product Architect - United States

Originally posted 15 September 2026 by the employer.

This role focuses on NVIDIA's quantum platform, including CUDA-Q, cuQuantum, CUDA-Q QEC, and NVQLink.

About the role

This role involves leading developer relations for NVIDIA's quantum platform within the US national laboratories and federal research community. You will serve as the technical bridge between mission scientists and NVIDIA's product and engineering teams, driving adoption of NVIDIA's quantum SDKs.

What you'll do

• Serve as the senior technical and strategic interface to QPU-builder partners.
• Develop a detailed understanding of partner architecture, technical roadmap, product strategy, and system requirements to shape NVIDIA's computing, networking, and quantum software roadmaps.
• Create and drive multi-year joint roadmaps integrating partner QPUs with NVIDIA GPUs, networking, systems, and software, including CUDA-Q, CUDA-Q QEC, cuQuantum, and NVQLink.
• Lead cross-functional work across NVIDIA product, engineering, systems, networking, developer relations, and business development teams to deliver technical plans.
• Conduct technical workshops, hackathons, and hands-on training sessions at national labs, user facilities, and federal research venues.
• Engage senior technical leaders to address architectural challenges such as QPU-GPU integration, real-time control, decoding latency, and the transition to fault tolerance.

What you'll need

• Master's degree in physics, computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, chemistry, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 14+ years of experience in quantum information science, with 5+ years in the quantum computing industry or at a national laboratory or similar research institution.
• Technical expertise across quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, or quantum hardware and control systems.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including public speaking to technical audiences.
• Willingness to travel frequently (approximately 40%) to national laboratories, federal sites, and conferences across the United States.
• U.S. citizenship and a security clearance.

Nice to have

• Prior experience working at or with a DOE national laboratory, an NQIS Research Center, or other federal institution.
• Familiarity with federal research funding, procurement, and collaboration mechanisms.
• Prior developer relations, technical evangelism, or solutions architecture experience in a research-facing role.
• Experience with quantum control stacks, QPU calibration, or real-time systems.
