Role
Who you are
- You have about 10+ years experience in industry, working on complex system development, and following V-cycle project management or similar approach is required
- You have experience working in industrial engineering sectors like aeronautics, medical, defense, telecommunications, naval, automotive, industrial computers
- Around 5 years experience in integration of complex hardware systems is required
- Experienced with complex hardware systems and instrumentation (mechanics & optics, hydraulics, electronics, thermal management) and Embedded Software integration & deployment
- Strong interest in industrialization of complex systems
- Experience in managing a team of Engineers and Technicians working in matrix project organization
- Experience with versioning control tools such as PLM/PDM tools for HW and git-like tools for SW
- Autonomy, rigor and organization
- Communication and listening skills
- Proven ability to collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams
- Good level of written and spoken English. French is a plus but not required
What the job involves
- Participate in the rapid development of a deep-tech start-up at the forefront of the second quantum revolution!
- In the System Integration team of the Hardware department, we are responsible for the integration activities of new sub-systems into our QPU platforms
- The development of such sub-systems follows the commonly known “V-model”, starting with a top-down “system decomposition and definition” stream followed by a bottom-up “integration and recomposition” stream, with the corresponding dedicated verification & validation tests at each level
- Identify recruitment needs, formalize them, partner with the Talent Acquisition team during the hiring process
- Welcome and onboard new team members
- Assess skillset and define individual development plans,
- Update the team on operations and answer all questions related to the organization, processes, procedures and tools used for integration activities,
- Define individual objectives and monitor day to day with regards to collective objectives,
- Conduct 1-on-1 meetings and other interviews (follow-up of trial period, annual interview, weekly follow-up points, feedback sessions, team meetings etc.),
- Involvement promotions, salary increase, etc
- Anticipate and manage potential conflicts arising in the team,
- Animate meetings and facilitate communication as well as collaboration within and outside the team,
- Implement, document and update the procedures related to integration activities
- Set up and monitor KPIs for integration activities
- Define and manage the annual budget of integration activities
- Select service providers and challenge them on their core business, carry out consultation briefs and manage services,
- Produce internal reporting within the Hardware Department for tracking and documentation,
- Make decisions on the distribution/allocation of resources on projects,
- Follow-up on projects in collaboration with the Project Manager
- Suggest integration procedures (using specific HW/SW tools and methods)
- Define and realize documented sub-system tests plans and test report templates to validate sub-systems integration with respect to high-level sub-system design requirements
Application process
- An interview with our Talent Acquisition Specialist of 30'
- An exchange with the Hiring manager of 45 to 60'
- A meeting with the team in our beautiful offices, about 2h to 3h onsite
- An offer!
Our take
Classical computing, using bits made up of ones and zeros, have almost reached the physical limits of its capabilities, with engineers running out of ways to fit more transistors onto a computer chip. Meanwhile the processing demands on computing hardware only increase. Quantum computers have long been posited as a solution to this issue, with processors able to exploit quantum mechanics to perform calculations exponentially faster than any classical computer. Founded by a Nobel Prize for Physics recipient, Pasqal exists to bring quantum computing out of the realm of scientific research (and science fiction) and into the business world for the first time.
Pasqal is not alone in the race to produce quantum computers and it faces competition from well-funded rivals such as IonQ and IBM. However, it is pursuing a different technological line - neural atom computing, the ability to manipulate individual atoms with laser tweezers - which has the advantage of being more scalable and energy efficient, being able to run at room temperature rather than requiring supercooling.
In 2023, Pasqal closed a Series B funding round which will be used to develop its first quantum systems for use in business. Having successfully built proof of concept models and overcome the technical challenges of manipulating a few and then hundreds of atoms, Pasqal is building a bespoke control system and begin implementing quantum algorithms. Pasqal was also awarded one of five grants from the French Ministry of Defence in 2024, as part of a government plan to create 2 universal quantum computer systems for defence purposes by 2032. This new development indicates Pasqal's expansion from solely business purposes into new sectors where its technology can be impactful.
