PsiQuantum is hiring a System Modeling and Simulation Lead in Milpitas to build predictive, system-level models of its photonic quantum computer. The role translates photonic and electronic component data—loss, noise, jitter, drift, crosstalk, false counts—into end-to-end quantum performance predictions, defines validated subsystem abstractions, and develops modular Python simulation software with documented APIs. The posting asks for model validation against measurements, uncertainty analysis, and versioned model libraries. Distinctive: the models must support architecture trades before hardware exists and remain usable by teams without internal implementation knowledge.
