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
Early commercial applications of fault-tolerant quantum computing are expected to be predominantly in computational chemistry, particularly in quantum chemistry.
What they're looking for
- PhD in computational chemistry with a strong grasp of quantum chemistry, or a Master’s degree with equivalent significant experience
- 2+ years of product management of scientific products, spanning the major stages of product development (initial MVPs to product launch)
- Industry experience applying computational chemistry (including quantum chemistry) to real world industry problems
- Experience developing, commercializing, or deploying AI/ML-enabled products for chemistry, materials science, or drug discovery (preferred)
- Demonstrated verbal, written and presentation skills
- Proven team player with an ability to work effectively across departments, sites, and time zones
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...
