System Reliability and Automation Engineer - 740

We are seeking a talented System Reliability and Automation Engineer in our Broomfield, CO location to ensure our quantum computing systems are observable, recoverable, and economically scalable across deployments. This role focuses on building the telemetry, automation, and recovery infrastructure required to operate complex quantum systems reliably in production environments. The engineer will work across the full system stack from hardware instrumentation to cloud services to detect faults, automate recovery, reduce downtime, and provide actionable reliability insights back into product development. Quantinuum believes that employees work better, more efficiently and more collaboratively in close proximity to other employees, where ideas can be exchanged readily, and decisions can be made more quickly for the benefit of the Company and our customers. All employees should work at their assigned location; however, this role may offer the opportunity to work remotely up to 2 days per week, with approval. If you want to work at the cutting-edge quantum computing technology, please apply! \n

Key Responsibilities:

Architect and implement cross-layer telemetry systems spanning hardware, embedded systems, control software, and cloud infrastructure. Define standardized health metrics and system observability frameworks for complex quantum systems. Ensure telemetry enables effective fault detection, hard failures, transient anomalies, degradations, root cause analysis, and operational insight. Define and enforce system health boundaries and operational envelopes. Develop automated methods for monitoring, detecting, classifying, and prioritizing faults across hardware and software layers. Reduce operator intervention through intelligent automation and runbook codification. Identify systemic weaknesses and propose design improvements that enhance reliability and serviceability. Collaborate with product engineering to ensure reliability is designed into future systems.
