TL;DR · Quantum Datacenter Engineer

As a senior Quantum Datacenter Engineer at IBM, you will serve as the technical lead for installing complex quantum computing systems in customer and partner datacenters. Your role involves assessing site readiness, adapting IBM’s reference architecture to fit existing infrastructure constraints, defining facility requirements, and guiding construction teams to ensure compliance with reliability standards. You will oversee installation, bring-up, commissioning, and acceptance testing of mechanical, electrical, and cooling systems, ensuring that quantum hardware operates reliably in non-IBM environments. This role requires hands-on experience with high-reliability critical infrastructure such as chilled water plants, redundant power systems, and specialized environmental controls, along with strong communication skills to work effectively across internal teams and external stakeholders.

What you'll do

  • Assess datacenters for hosting quantum systems and produce site-readiness findings.
  • Adapt IBM's reference architecture to create a buildable plan for each customer site.
  • Define facility requirements and advise on cost-effective compliance with them.
  • Review and appraise customer build plans for adherence to standards and reliability.
  • Oversee installation, bring-up, commissioning, and acceptance testing of systems.
  • Develop deployment guides and runbooks for repeatable hosting across multiple sites.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
  • Hands-on experience with high-reliability critical infrastructure like chilled water plants and redundant power systems.
  • Proven ability to work directly with engineering teams on complex system builds and commissions.
  • Strong communication skills for both executive and on-the-ground implementation levels.
  • Willingness to travel up to 20% to customer and partner sites.
  • Advanced degree or professional certification in a relevant technical discipline preferred.
