Utility-scale fault-tolerant photonic quantum computers
PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.
Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.
That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum closed a $1 billion funding round that valued the company at $7 billion. In 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a $100 million Letter of Intent under the CHIPS and Science Act, followed by a $125 million agreement with DARPA under Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, PsiQuantum's most valuable U.S. government agreement to date. This year, we also broke ground on our utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, Australia, and continued building out our Chicago site. Victor Peng, our CEO, and co-founder Jeremy O'Brien, now Executive Chairman, lead a team and board that reflects how seriously the world is taking this build, joined this year by Intel's Lip-Bu Tan and Atomico's Niklas Zennström.
PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.
Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift, and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we now have the funding, the government validation, and the sites under construction to make it real.
Job Summary:
The Technical Product Management Lead will serve as the technical face of the product to customers, partners, and the broader industry. This role will lead detailed specification negotiations and technical engagements with customer architecture teams, translating customer constraints and needs into clear, actionable product requirements. The Lead will partner closely with engineering on product priorities, trade-offs, testing, and documentation while owning specifications at the customer boundary. This individual will also develop technical content—including white papers, application notes, reference architectures, and conference materials—and represent the company at industry conferences and standards organizations.

Utility-scale fault-tolerant photonic quantum computers
PsiQuantum builds quantum computers for utility-scale use, using photons as qubits and a semiconductor-friendly Omega chipset. The Omega platform combines high-performance single-photon sources, superconducting detectors, and optical switches to enable scalable chip-to-chip interconnects and precise quantum operations. It explores fault-tolerant methods like fusion-based quantum computation (FBQC) to improve error correction and resilience, targeting applications in chemistry, materials science, optimization, and cryptography. The company stands out by emphasizing manufacturability with standard semiconductor processes, large-scale chip integration, and collaborations with government and research institutions to push toward a practical, widely accessible quantum computer.
