IonQ, Inc. [NYSE: IONQ] is the world’s leading quantum platform and merchant supplier - delivering integrated quantum solutions across computing, networking, sensing, and security. IonQ’s newest generation of quantum computers, the IonQ Tempo, is the latest in a line of cutting-edge systems that have been helping customers and partners including Amazon Web Services, and AstraZeneca achieve 20x performance results and accelerate innovation in drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, cybersecurity, and defense. In 2025, the company achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, setting a world record in quantum computing performance.

Headquartered in College Park, Maryland, IonQ has operations in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Washington, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Our quantum computing services are available through all major cloud providers, while we also meet the needs of networking and sensing customers across land, sea, air, and space. IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before.  

We are looking for a Staff QA Engineer to join our team building post-quantum cryptography (PQC) hardware acceleration for HSM and network-appliance products. You will own product-level quality assurance: the system test plans, automation and compliance test execution that stand between an engineering release and a product customers can trust. In a security product, QA is not an afterthought; it is part of the evidence.

Responsibilities

~1 min read

We are looking for a candidate with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience) and at least five years in quality assurance or system test of embedded, hardware or networking products. You have built test automation in Python or similar, integrated it into CI, and worked hands-on with lab equipment and hardware-in-the-loop setups.

Exposure to security or compliance testing (FIPS, Common Criteria, or telecom/industrial certification regimes) is a strong plus, as is experience testing cryptographic or networking functionality. You are rigorous, methodical and precise in documentation, because in this product your test reports become certification evidence. Fluency in English is required; French or German is an advantage.

  • →Experienced system-test/QA engineer for embedded or hardware products with strong automation skills
  • →Compliance or security test experience and meticulous documentation habits are strong advantages

Requirements

You take professional pride in being the last line of defence before a release, you like breaking things methodically so customers never do, and you enjoy the extra weight QA carries when the product is a security device.

Compensation will vary based on individual factors such as education, qualifications, and experience of the final candidate(s), specific office location, and calibration against relevant market data and internal team equity. Posted base salary figures are subject to change as new market data becomes available. Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k), unlimited PTO and paid holidays, parental/adoption leave, legal insurance, and a home technology stipend. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided when a candidate receives an offer of employment.

We empower employees to thrive by fostering a culture of autonomy, productivity, and respect.

US Technical Jobs. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions.  Employment with IonQ is contingent on either verifying “U.S. Person” (e.g., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum) status for export controls and government contracts work, obtaining any necessary license, and/or confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls.  Please note that in the absence of confirming you are a U.S. Person for export control and government contracts work purposes, IonQ may choose not to apply for a license or decline to use a license exception (if available) for you to access export-controlled technology that may require authorization, and similarly, you may not qualify for government contracts work that requires U.S. Persons, and IonQ may decline to proceed with your application on those bases alone.  Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
