About Pasqal
PASQAL designs and develops Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and associated software tools.
Our innovative technology enables us to address use cases that are currently beyond the reach of the most powerful supercomputers; these cases can concern industrial application challenges as well as fundamental science needs.
In addition to the exceptional computing power they provide, QPUs are highly energy efficient and will contribute to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the HPC industry.
Job description
As Product Manager for Quantum Applications, you own the product direction for how Pasqal turns hard optimization problems into quantum applications that deliver measurable value to customers. You sit at the interface between Customers, our Commercial organization, and the Applications’ development teams, working backwards from real customer problems to define what we build, for whom, and when.
You are the person who makes sure optimization use cases address genuine customer problems, provide quantified value and a credible path from proof of concept to production.
Your missions and responsibilities will include:
Run real discovery with customers and partners: talk to users frequently, map their workflows, and test more ideas than you build. Prototype and experiment to de-risk value, usability, feasibility, and viability before committing engineering effort.
Translate concrete optimization problems (routing, scheduling, portfolio, network, energy, logistics, etc.) into well-scoped application requirements the Algo and Solutions teams can deliver against.
Partner closely with the Solutions, Algorithms, Software, and Cloud teams to integrate optimization applications into end-to-end customer workflows and the Pasqal Quantum Software Stack.
Work with Business Development, Sales, and Marketing to expand the customer base and turn successful engagements into repeatable references and go-to-market assets.
Own the data: define the metrics that tell you whether an application is working, and use them to decide what to double down on, rebuild, or kill.
MSc or PhD in a relevant field: Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or Quantum Computing / Information.
5+ years in product management, solutions, or applied research, with direct ownership of products or applications that solved real customer problems, not just features shipped.
Evidence of real discovery craft: prototypes built, experiments run, ideas killed by data. You can show artefacts, not just frameworks.
Nice to have
Experience delivering quantum, HPC, AI/ML, or advanced-computing applications to enterprise customers.
Domain expertise in an optimization-heavy vertical (finance, energy, logistics, mobility, manufacturing).
