Job Summary:PsiQuantum's Photonics & Technologies group turns the company's core platforms into commercial products. The Cryogenic Interconnect business line brings our data-center-grade cryogenics to AI rack-scale interconnect.
Turns PsiQuantum's cryogenic capabilities into customer programs - and delivers them. PsiQuantum is the only company bringing data-center-grade cryogenics to AI infrastructure. This role works directly with customers to find where cryogenic operation solves their problems in interconnect reach, cooling density and next-generation architecture; shapes those opportunities into programs; and then manages those programs from first hardware through qualification into production.
Responsibilities:- Identify and develop opportunities where PsiQuantum's cryogenic capabilities - data-center-grade cryostats, thermal containment, warm-to-cold interfaces - solve AI data center problems, across interconnect, cooling and future rack architectures.
- Convert opportunities into programs: scope, phase structure, statements of work, acceptance criteria and pricing.
- Manage those programs end to end with customer and internal teams.
- Coordinate joint demonstrations and qualification gates across internal engineering, customer deliverables and external suppliers.
Experience/Qualifications:- 10+ years spanning business development and program management for datacenter, networking or complex hardware systems, with 3+ years running customer-funded co-development or NPI programs through qualification into production.
- Commercial fluency in co-development structures: SOWs, phased POs, acceptance gates, production frameworks, take-or-pay and capacity reservation terms.
- Technically credible: can hold a room on thermal budgets, qualification criteria and schedule risk without an interpreter.
- Experience coordinating across a customer, contract fabricators and long-lead suppliers simultaneously.
- Comfort developing programs for a product that is still being defined, where the specification and the schedule move together.
