Product Manager, Sensing

About Quantum Brilliance 

 Quantum Brilliance is pioneering the future of quantum computing with diamond-based quantum technology — compact, energy-efficient quantum accelerators that operate at room temperature. From Australia to Germany and beyond, our mission is bold and simple: make quantum technology accessible everywhere — from data centers to satellites to edge devices. 

Built on world-leading research, Quantum Brilliance brings together exceptional scientific and commercial talent across continents. Our partnerships span supercomputing centers, governments, research institutes, and industry leaders across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific. Together, we’re redefining what’s possible at the intersection of quantum science and real-world computing. 

As we expand into quantum sensing, we’re kicking-off a new product line for the high-performance quantum sensing market, with the first applications focused on GPS-denied magnetic navigation. 

We’re now seeking a Product Manager for Quantum Sensing Products to lead this next frontier of our product portfolio.  We’re looking for a hands-on and resourceful technical product manager to shape the product line from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing deep tech company at the point where science becomes impact — and to play a key role in influencing the group product roadmap. 

The Role 

 As Product Manager for Quantum Sensing, you will own the lifecycle (introduction, growth, maturity, decline) of our sensing products — from concept and research validation through product definition, prototype delivery, and go-to-market readiness. Working within a strong and independent product team, you’ll eventually translate cutting-edge quantum science into impactful, deployable  products that address real-world challenges.

You’ll be responsible for defining and validating all aspects of the product, including requirements, value propositions, and GTM strategies, ensuring that our technology meets both technical and commercial expectations. Collaborating closely with engineering, marketing, and business development teams, you’ll guide the evolution of our solutions for integrated quantum sensing.

This is a role for someone who thrives at the interface between science, product, and business — someone who can bridge deep technical understanding with market insight, bringing clarity and focus to complex, frontier-technology problems. Your ability to navigate both technical depth and customer needs will be key to delivering products that redefine what’s possible in quantum sensing.

This role ideally is anticipated to operate in an onsite/hybrid type of capacity from Canberra but could also operate out of Sydney in a hybrid capacity.  

Key Responsibilities 

• Drive the definition, and own, the roadmap for Quantum Brilliance’s quantum sensing solutions. 

• Run product discovery: Lead user and stakeholder interviews, research, and validation activities to deeply understand customer problems and use cases. 

• Define, prioritize, and manage product requirements, balancing technical feasibility, market needs, and strategic goals. 

• Work with Marketing to develop clear, evidence-based messaging that articulates the value proposition and positioning of Quantum Brilliance’s sensing products across different customer segments. 

• Competitive landscape analysis: Continuously assess emerging technologies, competitors, and differentiators to inform product direction and focus areas. 

• Market analysis: Identify, refine and segment target markets, use cases, and applications where quantum sensing can deliver unique value. 

• Collaborate with the VP Product & Marketing and BU lead to craft and execute go-to-market strategies aligned with business objectives. 

• Collaborate with Marketing Managers to plan and coordinate product launch activities, ensuring readiness across different business functions. 

• Within the product function contribute to the group-level roadmap and global marketing strategy. 

About You 

Must-have: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in physics, electrical engineering, or a related field.
