TL;DR

We are seeking a Senior Quantum/HPC Systems Engineer to join our cutting-edge team in Boston, responsible for architecting and operating an innovative NVAQC center. This role involves building and maintaining a hybrid quantum-HPC platform that integrates large-scale NVIDIA GPU clusters with various physical quantum processors. You will deploy and operate this complex system using tools like CUDA-Q, cuQuantum, NVQlink, and other middleware frameworks to ensure seamless integration between classical and quantum computing environments. Key responsibilities include managing the reliability and performance of Linux systems, QPU hardware, job schedulers, networking, and storage, while also collaborating with partners on technical specifications for new quantum systems. Additionally, you will work closely with researchers to optimize hybrid workloads and develop clear documentation for platform adoption. Ideal candidates have over 10 years of experience in HPC operations, a strong background in Linux administration, and familiarity with quantum computing hardware and software environments such as CUDA-Q and Qiskit. This position is pivotal in advancing the practical application of quantum computing by integrating it with classical systems at scale.
