Building the Architecture of tomorrow

The quantum revolution presents the best and brightest in science and technology with the chance to not only embrace the future – but to shape it.  Massive investment from both government and industry has brought quantum computing to the threshold of commercial viability and adoption, meaning that now is the time to get involved at the ground floor of productization.

What’s the next ‘big hairy problem’ facing quantum computing?  Quantum networking, or the ability to connect these powerful systems in a way that preserves the quantum state.  With quantum networking, users can achieve meaningful qubit counts faster to tackle game-changing problems,  enjoy modular growth that lets customers easily grow with quantum as needs expand, and leverage truly unbreakable security that’s protected by not only encryption but literally the laws of quantum physics.

If you fit one of our open roles below, we’d love to connect with you to see if this is the right place for you to embrace your future

Open Positions

Position Overview

We are seeking a dynamic and driven Director of Business Development to lead our ecosystem efforts as we drive to market leadership in quantum networking for the rapidly evolving quantum computing market.

  • Experience: 10+ years in business development, sales, or strategic partnerships within the technology sector.  Experience in quantum computing, photonics, cybersecurity, or networking industries is preferred. Proven track record of structuring multimillion-dollar alliances to address emerging tech markets.
  • Technical Knowledge: Strong familiarity with enterprise IT, classical networking, cloud computing, and quantum computing concepts (which could include quantum compute, QKD, quantum entanglement). Experience in quantum hardware or software ecosystems is a plus.
  • Skills:
    • Exceptional negotiation, communication, and presentation abilities.
    • Proficiency in CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce) and pipeline management.
    • Ability to analyze market data and competitive intelligence.
    • Strategic thinking with a results-oriented mindset.
  • Personal Attributes: Entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability in a fast-paced environment, and a passion for cutting-edge technologies. Willingness to travel up to 50% for client meetings and industry events.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
  • Equity options in a high-growth quantum tech company.
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, and retirement plans.
  • Opportunities for professional development in one of the most innovative fields in technology.

If you are a visionary leader ready to accelerate the adoption of quantum networking solutions, we encourage you to apply. This role is remote-friendly with occasional travel to key hubs in quantum research (e.g., Boston, San Francisco, or Europe).



We are looking for a Photonic Test Development Engineer to join our growing team at memQ. In this role, you will learn to develop and execute automated wafer and die-level measurements on our photonic chips. You will work with our external partners to build scalable test systems that characterize our quantum devices for mass production.

As a key member of our team, you will bridge the gap between R&D and manufacturing, providing the mission-critical feedback that allows us to scale our products. You will build the code infrastructure that drives our equipment and establish the data pipelines that inform our next generation of designs.

Responsibilities:

  • Automated Characterization: Operate and automate high-throughput wafer and die-level testing stations. You will develop scripts to drive instrumentation (lasers, VNAs, detectors) for characterizing passive and active photonic devices.
  • Scalable Test Systems: Collaborate with external test and packaging partners to design and implement robust manufacturing test processes that can scale from R&D samples to mass production.
  • R&D to Manufacturing Bridge: Work closely with Photonic Design Engineers and Quantum Hardware Engineers to align on key performance metrics (KPIs). You will translate these metrics into concrete Plans of Record (POR) and Designs of Experiment (DoE).
  • Tooling & Infrastructure: Implement custom optical toolsets and measurement techniques specifically for quantum PICs (e.g., low-temperature compatibility, high-Q cavity analysis, and non-telecom wavelengths).
  • Data Pipelines: Manage data processing pipelines to handle large volumes of characterization data. You will produce automated reports and statistical analyses that provide the design team with actionable feedback for iterative improvement.
  • Continuous Improvement: Continuously refine testing protocols to reduce measurement time and increase accuracy, ensuring our testing capabilities keep pace with our device scaling.

Qualifications

Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics, or a related field.

Experience: 2+ years of experience in a laboratory setting or semiconductor test environment.

Technical Skills:

  • Automation: Proficiency in Python for data analysis (Pandas, NumPy).
  • Hardware: Hands-on experience with experimental test equipment (e.g., tunable lasers, OSAs, polarization controllers) and wafer probers.
  • Analysis: Ability to process large datasets to extract device metrics (propagation loss, Q-factor, bandwidth).

Collaboration: Strong communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally between internal research teams and external manufacturing partners.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with databases or metadata encoding (JSON) for managing measurement data.
  • Experience with Python for for instrument control (PyVISA, SCPI)
  • Background in cryogenic testing or characterization of quantum systems.
  • Familiarity with Statistical Process Control (SPC) and JMP data analysis.
  • Previous experience bridging the gap between bench-top characterization and automated wafer-level testing.
