Description

Summary QuEra is seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager to join the Quantum Computing Services team at our Boston headquarters. You will play a foundational role in shaping the company’s product strategy and processes and taking responsibility for the success of our products and services. The team’s mission is to transform neutral atom quantum computing technology into products and services offering cutting-edge quantum computing functionality, delivered both via the cloud and as managed on-premise solutions, and interfaced by users via a variety of in-house and third-party software. As the Senior TPM, you will partner closely with scientists, engineers, executives, and customers to define, communicate, and deliver the roadmap for quantum computing products and services. You will gather and synthesize both functional and non-functional requirements from customers, translating them into a clear and actionable product roadmap. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will ensure that development efforts are both feasible and timely, delivering solutions that meet customer needs. In addition, you will drive project and program management activities to align with key milestones, ensuring execution stays on track and goals are achieved. In-depth exploration and a solid grasp of application algorithms for NISQ and early FTQC will be essential in shaping product features and roadmap priorities. This role calls for comprehensive technical expertise across the quantum computing stack—including hardware, control systems, compilers, quantum error correction, and algorithmic software. Given the product’s early stage, advancing both the maturity and stability of the technology is paramount. Success will require the ability to navigate complex trade-offs, balancing the push for rapid feature development with the need to ensure system robustness and reliability. Responsibilities As Senior Technical Product Manager, you will be expected to lead and drive the following activities: Define and articulate the product vision and roadmap for QuEra’s quantum computing services (cloud-based and on-premise), ensuring alignment with company strategy and customer needs. Gather and synthesize requirements from physicists, engineers, application developers, and customers across hardware, software, and operational domains. Translate technical requirements into actionable deliverables, including structured product specifications, prioritized backlogs, and feature timelines. Collaborate with engineering and R&D teams to deliver against specifications and milestones, balancing competing priorities, resource constraints, and technical uncertainties. Lead product launch planning and execution, including customer adoption strategies, success metrics, and go-to-market support for new systems and services. Establish, operate, and continuously refine product management processes, ensuring effective communication, decision-making, and execution across the company. You will also be expected to contribute to the following: Collaborate with application developers and scientific partners on pilot projects, benchmarking efforts, and use-case validation. Incorporate customer feedback and market insights into technical development and roadmap prioritization. Support quality assurance, system integration, and operational readiness, ensuring reliable delivery of products and services. Contribute to business development activities, including customer demos, RFP responses, and strategic partnerships that expand QuEra’s market presence. Qualifications Proven experience (7+ years) in product management or technical leadership roles, ideally in deep-tech fields (quantum computing, HPC, semiconductors, complex hardware/software systems). Strong technical background with the ability to engage deeply across the quantum computing stack—from hardware and control systems to compilers, quantum error correction, and algorithmic software. Advanced degree in physics, engineering, or computer science. Demonstrated success building and managing roadmaps that bridge science, engineering, and business needs. Ability to succinctly capture requirements and convert them into actionable specifications and structured backlogs. Experience with software and/or hardware lifecycle management, from prototyping to deployment and support. Proven success in project and program management, balancing scope, timelines, and resources while navigating technical and organizational ambiguity. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both technical experts and business stakeholders. Willingness to travel periodically to customer and machine locations worldwide. Preferred Qualifications Proficiency with product management tools (e.g., Atlassian suite, Aha!) and agile methodologies. Direct experience in quantum computing research, product development, or application algorithms (NISQ and early FTQC). Familiarity with cloud-based services, managed infrastructure offerings, and enterprise adoption of emerging technologies. Experience supporting customer-facing activities such as pilot projects, benchmarking, RFPs, and strategic partnerships. Demonstrated ability to establish and scale product management processes within a growing organization QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
