QA Architect

Quantum Art, a full stack quantum computing company, develop state of the art quantum computing systems based on trapped ions technology (both hardware and software). As part of our mission, our team builds our quantum processing units (QPUs), develops novel quantum gates and circuits, and implements new algorithms capable of solving hard computational tasks, beyond current classical computational abilities. We're looking for an experienced QA Architect to build and lead our quality strategy for a first-of-its-kind quantum computing platform. This is a unique opportunity to establish the company's validation methodology, define testing infrastructure, and ensure the reliability of highly complex multidisciplinary systems combining software, electronics, optics, control systems, and quantum physics.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the overall QA, verification, and validation strategy across the entire system.
• Design and implement scalable testing methodologies, infrastructure, and processes from subsystem validation through full system integration.
• Plan and execute testing for complex automated systems spanning software, hardware, and customer-facing interfaces.
• Build testing frameworks and automation infrastructure from the ground up.
• Translate system architecture and product requirements into comprehensive validation plans and test coverage.
• Work closely with Software, Hardware, Electronics, Algorithms, Physics, and Product teams throughout the development lifecycle.
• Identify, investigate, document, and drive resolution of complex system issues using structured root cause analysis.
• Define quality metrics, release criteria, and continuous improvement processes.
• Mentor engineers and promote QA best practices across the organization.
