We steward the product portfolio that transforms groundbreaking research into software solutions that drive real-world impact. The product team collaborates with brilliant minds across research, engineering, design, marketing, and sales, bringing disciplines together to achieve breakthroughs that make quantum technologies useful for our customers today.

About the role Reporting to the Head of Product, we’re looking for a Product Manager - Quantum Sensing to lead, own and launch a new product area leveraging our quantum sensing capabilities. You’ll be a part of our world leading product team working closely with our key stakeholders across: quantum sensing & research, engineering, design and marketing.

What you'll be doing:

  • Own the Problem: Own the problem space, along with the opportunity and agency to solve challenges. You’re unafraid of the unknown, willing to be adaptable and versatile, and maintain a figure-it-out mindset.
  • Bring Teams Together: Drive product development, roadmaps, and go-to-market strategy with world-class engineers, designers, and marketers while upholding world-class development process and craft.
  • Outcomes over Output: Proactively iterate on features based on customer data, feedback, and technology and market trends, evolving the product and optimising for customer impact and the potential of the development team.
  • Build for Scale: Leverage expertise in product technology stacks, software and hardware, to inform and guide development teams to build platform features at scale.

Ideally you'll have:

  • 2+ years of product management in quantum sensing, navigation, aerospace, defense, or related industry experience
  • Experience identifying market opportunities, identifying customer needs, and executing on product roadmaps in the context of broader organisational strategies and goals
  • Familiarity with crewed and uncrewed platforms in aviation (UAS/UAV) and maritime (USV, UUV, AUV).
  • Experience going through a full product development lifecycle across hardware and software including qualification, certification, and manufacturing, integrating customer and internal feedback into product requirements, driving prioritisation and pre/post-launch execution
  • Business development experience with a network of sensing companies and hardware suppliers.
  • Ability to understand, translate and communicate scientific and technology based concepts of emerging technologies to relevant partners and customers, and identify pathways to product and new features
  • Comfortable with creating technical presentations, and independently researching, organising, and writing SoWs and research contract proposals. Familiar with proposal requirements and strategies
  • Accustomed to working in a technical environment with a broad, cross functional team, often with a lot of uncertainty, to align the team and execute towards key milestones

It would be fantastic if you have these skills/experience:

  • Exposure to export controls or experience developing products to various standards or regulations. Ideal previous experience includes DO-160/178/254, MIL-STD-810/461, RoHS/REACH, etc.
  • Familiarity with mining, geology, aerospace, defence and government sectors (as examples)
  • Australian NV2 security clearance

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
