US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role
PsiQuantum’s mission is to build the first useful quantum computers—machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like GlobalFoundries—we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale. PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift—and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real. Come join us. Job Summary: The Senior Director, U.S. National Security Partnerships, will lead PsiQuantum’s efforts to position the company for sustained collaboration with the Department of War (DoW), the Intelligence Community (IC), and private sector companies in the national security ecosystem. To advance these objectives, this executive will have the ability to identify, shape, and execute high-value collaborations that advance PsiQuantum’s national security partnerships, enhance PsiQuantum’s reputation as a trusted leader in fault-tolerant quantum computing, and align with the company’s long-term business objectives. This role includes the primary company responsibility for building and maintaining relationships with senior national security agency officials and teams. Success in this position requires a deep understanding of how best to engage policy officials, military services, acquisition organizations, operational commands, and research laboratories to translate PsiQuantum’s fault-tolerant quantum computing capabilities into long-term partnerships that support America’s national security. The executive will serve as a trusted advisor to PsiQuantum’s leadership on government acquisition strategy, working closely with the engineering, product, finance, legal, contracts, communications, and government affairs teams. Effective collaboration with internal teams to translate complex frontier technologies into operational national security applications is critical to the success of this role. Responsibilities: • Lead PsiQuantum’s strategy and execution efforts with DoW and IC stakeholders, as well as generate revenue opportunities and partnerships with private sector stakeholders in the national security ecosystem. • Identify, shape, and secure strategic funding opportunities, including award contracts and other
