Mitsuhisa Sato has been the division director of the Quantum-HPC Hybrid Platform Division at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) since 2023. He leads the JHPC-Quantum project to design and build a quantum-supercomputer hybrid computing platform by integrating different kinds of on-premise quantum computers, the IBM superconducting quantum computer, and the Quantinuum trapped-ion quantum computer, with several supercomputers including Fugaku. The aim of the project is utility-scale quantum-HPC hybrid computing using the JHPC-Quantum platform.

From 2014 to 2020, Mitsuhisa was a team leader of the architecture development team for the FLAGSHIP 2020 Project to develop the Japanese flagship supercomputer, Fugaku. He was appointed as deputy director of R-CCS in 2018. Since 2023, he has been a professor at Juntendo University, and professor emeritus at the University of Tsukuba.
