Quantum Solutions Manager, Qlimate Research Centre

4 days ago

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia black Full time

We believe quantum computing will change everything. It will have the power to transform the foundations of giant industries that rely on intensive computation. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world's first useful quantum computer, capable of delivering these transformative results. We know that means it will need 1 million qubits, error correction, a scalable architecture and a data center footprint.

By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today's most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.

PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing years earlier than our competitors. Our architecture is based on photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components using existing high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are today producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. Since photons don't feel heat, we can take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems, the kind that have been operating at facilities like the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). And because photons are in fact light, they can move between subsystems at tremendous speed using standard fiber connectivity.

Our team is building a utility scale quantum computer and the software tools needed to build fault tolerant quantum applications. We're a highly motivated and collaborative group focused on a singular goal - building the world's first useful quantum computer on the fastest path possible.

There's much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey

Job Summary:

As part of the Quantum Solutions team, you will collaborate with internal stakeholders and external partners in Australia to identify and develop innovative solutions in areas such as energy generation, energy storage, clean fuels, and carbon capture. This position is ideal for someone eager to bridge technical expertise, business strategy, and client engagement to drive the success of the Qlimate Research Centre's initiatives. This position offers the opportunity to influence the trajectory of climate technologies via quantum computing, contributing to breakthroughs that could redefine sustainable energy, carbon removal, and industrial decarbonization in the years to come.

Responsibilities:

As Quantum Solutions Manager, QRC you will own and drive a variety of strategic tasks for PsiQuantum's global Quantum Solutions team & domestic Australia team, including:

Use case development:

  1. Own the analysis and development of specific or broad classes of climate-tech use cases, with an emphasis on/initially relating to the Australian context.
  2. Assess potential quantum advantages, business/financial impact, feasibility, and monetization strategies.
  3. Work with Applications, Business Development, and Solutions teams, and foster external collaborations with Australian academia and industry (e.g., through the Queensland Decarbonization Alliance).

Strategic initiatives:

  1. Drive go-to-market (GTM) strategies, pricing models, fundraising efforts, and vertical integration plans.
  2. Collaborate with C-level executives and founders on organizational and strategic priorities to enhance PsiQuantum's market position in climate technology, particularly within Australia.

Market facing work:

  1. Develop sales and pitch materials to engage potential clients by identifying and prioritizing FTQC use cases in climate tech.
  2. Collaborate with the Business Development and Technical teams to showcase to externals the commercial and technical potential of quantum solutions in climate tech.

Client-facing Quantum Project Ownership:

  1. Serve as the primary project manager for client engagements, ensuring alignment with project charters and delivering valuable results.
  2. Partner with technical leads to execute projects such as quantum algorithm development for client-specific use cases.
  3. Build strong, collaborative relationships with clients to ensure project success and long-term partnerships.

Experience/Qualifications:

  1. 3-5 years full-time experience in a high-pace environment such as management consulting or investment.
  2. Familiarity with broad classes of climate technologies (e.g., batteries, renewables, electrolysis, carbon capture, 'green' steel, low-carbon chemicals production) critical; familiarity with underlying cost drivers of these technologies preferred.
  3. Technical degree(s) preferred (e.g., chemistry, physics, engineering).
  4. LCA (lifecycle assessment) & techno-economic modelling, presentation/public speaking, technical research, presentation-building.
