At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.
Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.
As a Customer Solutions Manager/Technical Sales Engineer in North America, you turn quantum computing from theory into real-world value. You help customers understand not just what our technology is, but how it can solve their problems.
This role sits at the intersection of science and business. You work closely with Sales, Product, and R&D to shape solutions, guide customers through adoption, and bring their needs back into our product and research work.
Partner with Sales and Business Development to design and present tailored technical solutions
Lead technical workshops, proof of concepts, pilots, and demonstrations for customers
Act as technical expert in RFIs, RFPs, and RFQs, contributing strong and clear proposals
Engage with enterprises, public sector organizations, and research institutions to identify use cases
Translate customer needs into actionable feedback for Product and R&D teams
Build relationships with customer technical teams and act as a trusted advisor
Support customers across the full sales cycle, from early discussions to deployment
Contribute to research collaborations, especially with US-based institutions and national labs
Represent IQM at conferences, industry events, and customer meetings across North America
PhD in physics, computer science, engineering, or a related field, with strong focus on quantum computing
Solid understanding of quantum computing and hands-on experience with algorithms or applications
Experience in a customer-facing or applied role such as solutions engineering, consulting, or technical sales
Ability to explain complex topics clearly to both technical experts and business stakeholders
Strong problem-solving skills and structured way of working
Comfortable working across teams and managing multiple stakeholders
Fluent English
Experience with HPC, AI, or cloud environments is a plus
Exposure to quantum ML, simulation, or optimization is beneficial
Experience working with US government or national labs is highly valuable
Full-stack quantum computing: From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.
High-performance playground: We aim high, and we know sustainable performance only works when life outside work does too—hybrid setups, flexible hours.
Never the smartest: Expect to learn constantly. You won't always be the smartest person in the room, and that's the point.
Approachable leadership: Flat hierarchy, direct access. Feel free to approach any leaders. They're friendlier than they look!
The sweet spot: Big enough to matter. Small enough to move fast. Growing between a startup and a corporation. We’re in the phase where top performers get noticed.
Bigger than IQM: Our people build know-how for the entire quantum ecosystem. We publish papers, run hackathons, and help shape a market that's still being defined.
We'll start interviews and move forward with hiring as soon as we meet strong candidates. Please submit your application soon.
