Technical Product Manager

About Us QuantWare is the world's leading manufacturer of superconducting quantum hardware. As a high growth start-up with a global customer base, our mission is to accelerate the advent of the quantum computer. We push the boundaries of what's possible in our field. We work on making the world’s largest quantum processors, as fast as possible.

At QuantWare, we’re not just producing quantum hardware for the hyperscalers of tomorrow; we’re working on technology that will change the world. To make that ambition a reality, we need exceptional people who drive real impact. That’s where you come in. As a Technical Product Manager, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end development of new QPU products, from setting the technical requirements to delivering the finalised product to production and sales. You’ll lead the development roadmap, break down the work into achievable milestones, and make technical decisions that shape our next-generation processors. You’ll work closely with world-class engineers across design, fabrication, and measurement, and be the central coordination point that keeps everyone moving toward a common goal. What You’ll Be Doing

• Own the whole development process of new QPU products, from technical requirements to production handoff, ensuring timely and to spec delivery
• 
  Break up development into actionable work packages, prioritise and assign tasks to make sure the team moves forward efficiently
• 
  Make technical decisions that balance tradeoffs, consulting experts as needed
• 
  Coordinate across internal teams (including commercial, operations, and leadership) and external partners to keep projects on track
• 
  Ensure a smooth transition of products from development into production and commercial scale-up
