Why QCi Is Hiring
QCi has money and is spending it on people. The Nasdaq-listed photonics and quantum machines company completed four equity raises in 2025 totaling $1.55 billion, the largest a $750 million offering on October 5, 2025. Its headcount has since doubled: 158 people today against 77 a year ago, a rise of 105%, according to Crustdata company data. It grew 31.7% in the last six months alone.
It has also been buying. QCi acquired Luminar Semiconductor in December 2025, NuCrypt in March 2026 and NHanced Semiconductors in June 2026.
The Sales Team Taking Shape
Walsh joins a commercial team with new leadership. A Chief Revenue Officer started in July 2026, after the previous CRO moved into the Chief Product Officer job. A Vice President of Sales Operations started in September, and business development leads joined in June and August.
QCi posted 65 job listings between July 18 and October 18, according to Crustdata job data. On September 4 it posted five National Account Manager roles, each aimed at a different market: Federal, Telecommunications, Technology, Travel and Hospitality, and Financial Services. Business development is a 12-person group today.
Where He Comes From
Walsh joins from Sprinklr, where he led sales for New England from September 2024. He is based in Greater Boston, where QCi has 13 employees and has posted engineering and manufacturing roles in Bedford, Massachusetts.
What To Watch
How fast QCi fills the five national account manager roles, and whether its sales headcount grows as quickly as the rest of the company. The company's largest site remains Hoboken, New Jersey, where 27 of its staff are based.
