Director of Sales

Location: EU, UK or USA
Department: Sales
Reports To: Chief Executive Officer
Employment Type: Full-Time

QuantrolOx is a leader in qubit automation software. We are on a mission to accelerate the path to useful quantum computing.

Our software Quantum EDGE, has already set a new industry benchmark by achieving fully automated quantum processing unit (QPU) characterisation and tune-up, creating a two-qubit gate in under 25 minutes – a task that previously required up to a week from several PhD-level experts. By enabling thousands of iterative development cycles per year – versus only a handful today – this breakthrough helps QPU developers accelerate the development of high-quality qubits essential for fault-tolerant quantum computers. 

Our vision is to create a world where bring-up, characterisation and testing of quantum computers and components becomes fully automated creating the foundation for industrial processes necessary for scaling the quantum computing industry.

With the recent launch of Quantum EDGE SDK we have achieved another industry-first: The community can now run any library on any QPU using any control electronics, giving the community an unprecedented level of choice and driving the industry forward like never before.

Currently available for or superconducting qubits in the coming years Quantum EDGE will be available for all major quantum computing modalities.
