About this role

Principal Systems Engineer – Quantum Computing Systems Boston, MA USA Summary We are seeking a Principal Systems Engineer to play a critical role in aligning engineering execution with scientific and machine-level progress in the development of large-scale quantum computers. This role sits at the intersection of quantum science, hardware engineering, and control software , with a primary mission to make the system coherent, buildable, and integrable as it evolves. Unlike traditional product environments, many system requirements in quantum computing are discovered through experimentation , not defined upfront. Success in this role requires deep collaboration with scientists, rapid learning, and the ability to introduce structure only where it accelerates progress . The ideal candidate brings extensive experience building complex hardware-software systems (e.g., aerospace, EVs, robotics, advanced instrumentation) and is motivated to apply systems engineering rigor in a learning-driven R&D environment , pairing closely with internal quantum experts. This is a technical leadership role with broad influence across teams. Authority comes from clarity, usefulness, and trust - not from gatekeeping or heavy process. Core Mission - Bridge the gap between engineering tasks and quantum machine milestones - Make system architecture, integration status, and technical risk visible and actionable - Enable scientists and engineers to move faster together by reducing ambiguity, friction, and rework - Help the organization evolve from ad-hoc integration to disciplined, scalable system development - without slowing discovery Responsibilities 1. System Understanding Through Scientific Partnership - Work closely and continuously with quantum scientists to understand how the machine is actually
