Product Development Leader
We are seeking a seasoned professional to drive the development and delivery of our quantum sensing platform. The Product Development Leader will own the architecture and systems integration, spanning our quantum sensing core, electronics, and embedded systems.
This role bridges deep technical design with systems integration, customer co-development, and program delivery. You will act as the primary liaison with customers and partners, translating requirements into product specifications and milestones.
The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of experience in systems engineering for high-tech hardware products, with a proven track record of delivering functional prototypes into field use. They will also have strong interdisciplinary communication skills, able to translate between physics, engineering, software, and commercial needs.
Key Responsibilities:
* Technical Leadership
* Lead the system-level design of our quantum magnetometry device, spanning hardware, optics, electronics, software, and embedded integration.
* Provide hands-on technical guidance while mentoring and coordinating the engineering team.
* Make informed trade-offs to balance experimental performance, manufacturability, and field robustness.
* Act as the primary point of contact for customer and co-development meetings, translating requirements into technical specifications and product milestones.
* Serve as the technical liaison with external manufacturing and integration partners to ensure alignment with go-to-market needs.
Required Skills:
* 10+ years of experience in systems engineering for high-tech hardware products.
* Proven track record of delivering functional prototypes into field use.
* Demonstrated ability to engage directly with customers and partners, translating requirements into technical specifications and product milestones.
* Experience managing project budgets, timelines, and risk in complex technical programs.
* Experience in applied sensing technology, ideally in navigation, mineral resource discovery or medical imaging.
* Experience leading end-to-end system builds that involve optics, embedded systems, and electronic design.
Benefits:
* A ground-floor opportunity to shape a globally significant technology.
* A values-led culture prioritizing curiosity, diversity of thought, and building with integrity.
* A mission with meaning: bringing quantum sensing out of the lab and into real-world domains that matter.
What Does Success Look Like?
* A field-deployable prototype delivered on time, tested with customers and partners, and meeting performance goals.
* A well-integrated, manufacturable system demonstrating our core technical advantage and readiness for productization.
* A scalable project delivery framework providing transparency on workload, priorities, and timelines as the company grows.
