Quantum computing holds the promise of humanity’s mastery over the natural world, but only if we can build a real quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real, useful quantum computers, capable of delivering the world-changing applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture, and a data center footprint.

By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today’s most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.

PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer, years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components at Tier-1 semiconductor fabs such as GlobalFoundries where we leverage high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality that photons don’t feel heat or electromagnetic interference, allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry standard fiber connectivity.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced two government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first Quantum Data Centers and utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago, Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand quantum computing’s potential impact and the need to scale this technology to unlock that potential. And we won’t just be building the hardware, but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that will provide industry-transforming results.

Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decades-old advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our future, not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous, and we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.

There’s much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!

Job Summary:

We offer a range of internship opportunities throughout the year with PsiQuantum Australia. We’d love to hear from students, graduates and early-career professionals who are keen to apply their skills and grow their careers with PsiQuantum.

The duration of our Australia-based internships start from 5 weeks during the semester break and go up to 6 months for longer-term projects. Most of our internships are based in Brisbane, though remote positions in Australia may be possible depending on the project topic.

Internships are available across various teams. For 2025-2026, opportunities can include:

• Engineering support for our Test and Validation Lab based at Griffith University
• Software Development
• Data Science and Data Visualisation
• Quantum algorithms and Applications

If you do not see an opportunity currently listed that matches your experience, you can still submit your resume -- we'd love to hear from you!

Responsibilities:

Responsibilities will vary depending on the project and team. Internship responsibilities broadly can include:

• Developing and studying methods in engineering, computer science, and data science.
• Performing engineering, science, and technical work.
• Testing and trialling solutions for our lab operations.
• Creating short case studies and research reports.
• Providing feedback to our product and technical teams.
• Communicating results and preparing short presentations

Experience/Qualifications:

• We are seeking interns with experience and/or qualifications in fields including: Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, Information Technology, Physics, Mathematics, 3D Modeling and motion graphics.
• Some projects will require experience in managing research projects (Honours, Masters or PhD level). 
• Prior knowledge of Quantum Computing concepts will be highly regarded but is not required for all projects.
• A passion for communication and brilliant user experience will ensure your work shines and stands out.
