PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first commercially useful quantum computer to solve humanity. Backed by Founders Fund and Redpoint.
About the role
The Manager, Process Control Engineer is responsible for the design, implementation, commissioning, and operation of the instrumentation, electrical, and control systems supporting PsiQuantum's cryogenic infrastructure, including cryoplants, cryostats, and cryogenic distribution systems.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
- 7–10+ years of experience designing and commissioning industrial process control systems
- Strong hands-on experience with PLC-based automation systems
- Experience designing electrical and instrumentation systems for industrial facilities, including instrumentation, PLC hardware, network, motors, VFDs, and power distribution up to 480 VAC
- Demonstrated experience programming PLCs, developing HMI applications, implementing process automation, and troubleshooting complex control systems
- Strong understanding of instrumentation, process measurements, control valves, actuators, alarms, and safety interlocks
More about this role
PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.
Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.
That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum...
