Jobs at D-Wave Systems

Support development and maintenance of integrated demand plans for production, customer orders, projects, and service. Consolidate cross-functional inputs, maintain planning data in NetSuite, monitor forecast accuracy, align demand with manufacturing capacity, identify bottlenecks, support scenario analysis, and produce dashboards and KPI reporting to enable on-time deliveries and inventory efficiency.

Design, prototype, test, and improve mechanical components and subassemblies for cryogenic, vacuum, and electromechanical quantum hardware. Create and maintain CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and documentation; perform tolerance and thermal analyses; support hands-on assembly, integration, testing, and troubleshooting; collaborate with teams and suppliers to resolve fabrication and performance issues.

Design and deliver quantum optimization solutions: gather requirements, model use cases, build/test prototypes and production applications on D-Wave systems, liaise with customers and internal teams, and drive successful project delivery.

Drive operational efficiency and process rigor across engineering teams by planning and executing projects, removing roadblocks, optimizing tooling and workflows (Jira/Confluence/MS Project/Smartsheet), enforcing configuration management and PLC practices, and coordinating hardware/software productization and stakeholder communication to ensure predictable delivery.

Design and build core platform infrastructure, backend services, and user-facing features for gate-model quantum systems. Collaborate with product, science, and engineering teams to implement scalable, maintainable systems, front-end interfaces, tooling, APIs, testing, and mentor junior engineers.

Lead research and development for hybrid quantum-classical algorithms and benchmarking. Design and run experiments to characterize QPU contributions, analyze performance, develop scalable benchmarking tools, and communicate findings to influence technical strategy and improve system scalability.

Provide advanced end-user IT support and act as senior escalation for hardware, software, networking, authentication, and endpoint issues across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Lead onboarding/offboarding, identity and access management, automated deployments (PXE/Windows Deployment/Intune), incident response, mentoring, documentation, and process improvements. Participate in 24x7 on-call rotation and deliver recurring technology awareness training.

Develop and maintain calibration, automation, and tooling software for quantum processors. Design and implement front-end and back-end systems, APIs, and databases; troubleshoot performance issues; collaborate with scientists and engineers; and mentor junior engineers.

The role involves drafting and prosecuting patents, managing intellectual property strategy across teams, and contributing to IP portfolio management.

Conduct benchmarking and characterization research on quantum systems, implement and evaluate hybrid algorithms, expand benchmarking software pipelines, run experiments to quantify QPU contributions, analyze results, and communicate findings to internal and external stakeholders.

Lead the design and development of software for quantum machine learning methods. Collaborate with researchers and communicate findings. Oversee best practices in machine learning systems and influence product offerings.

Design and optimize superconducting integrated circuits (Josephson junctions, SQUIDs, SFQ, QFPs, resonators, qubits); develop and improve EDA toolchains and device models; verify manufacturability; mitigate packaging, I/O, electronics, and cryogenic impacts; provide technical leadership and strategy; mentor engineers; debug complex issues and document designs across teams.

Design and deliver quantum optimization solutions by mapping customer problems to D-Wave hybrid solvers, building and testing prototypes, developing production applications, and collaborating with customers and internal teams to ensure successful project delivery and product feedback.

Own integration and deployment of production dual-rail quantum processors. Drive project management and cross-team technical problem solving across electrical, cryogenic, RF, and system engineering. Design and run validation/test programs, plan long-term integration strategies, and improve system resilience for production quantum systems.

Perform experimental characterization, calibration, and noise analysis of superconducting quantum processors. Develop models, simulations, and analysis routines to fit data and detect outliers. Design parametric device improvements, assess environmental impacts (packaging, IO, cryogenics), document results, contribute to LISP software for processor modeling and operation, and collaborate across interdisciplinary teams.

Create and maintain customer-facing technical documentation (API references, user guides, hardware docs, code examples, release notes). Collaborate with software, hardware, support, product, and marketing teams; participate in product lifecycle; improve documentation processes, single-sourcing, and discoverability; use Git and Jira to track and resolve documentation issues.

Design and verify superconducting integrated circuits and layouts for quantum processors. Model device behavior, use/extend EDA toolchains, simulate electromagnetic and quantum effects, and collaborate cross-functionally to debug and document designs.

The Senior Business Analyst will lead cross-functional MRP, Supply Chain, and Finance system improvements, gather requirements, and support the implementation of scalable solutions.

The Staff Technical Account Manager will lead technical engagements with customers, support quantum computing solution deployment, and foster long-term relationships while providing technical guidance.

As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will develop quantum optimization solutions, collaborate with teams and customers, and deliver applications that solve complex business problems.
