About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree is required.
  • At least five years of experience in a hardware manufacturing or product industrialization environment is required.
  • Applicants must be a U.S. Person, defined here as a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or green card holder, or worker granted asylum or refugee status.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a production line building complex ultra-high-vacuum hardware, with direct accountability for safe, high-quality execution of the build schedule.
  • Work side by side with technicians to assemble, integrate, test, troubleshoot, and deliver low-volume, high-complexity hardware while providing real-time technical direction and removing barriers to progress.
  • Translate production priorities into clear daily and weekly work plans; coordinate labor, materials, tooling, documentation, and technical support to keep builds on schedule.
  • Own and continuously improve production-line structure, including process flows, assembly sequences, work instructions, build travelers, inspection and test methods, training, and readiness criteria.
  • Partner with quality to drive process improvements using build data, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, defect and rework trends, cycle time, and yield.
  • Partner with engineers, physicists, quality, and supply chain to resolve issues, implement engineering changes, and improve manufacturability, reliability, throughput, and cost.
  • Develop tooling, fixtures, test equipment, and workstation improvements that increase safety, repeatability, ergonomics, and production capacity.
  • Travel as required, up to 10%.

Desired Qualifications

  • An advanced degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
  • Hands-on experience leading builds or daily production-line execution for complex, low-volume hardware while meeting schedule, quality, and safety commitments.
  • Experience building, integrating, testing, or troubleshooting ultra-high-vacuum systems, precision mechanical assemblies, cryogenic systems, or comparable complex scientific hardware.
  • Demonstrated success establishing production structure through process flows, work instructions, build travelers, inspection plans, test procedures, operator training, and readiness reviews.
  • Experience improving manufacturing quality, yield, cycle time, throughput, and rework using root-cause analysis, corrective action, Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methods.
  • Experience with design for manufacturing and assembly, tooling and fixture design, configuration control, engineering changes, quality systems, and computer-aided design or product lifecycle management/product data management tools such as Onshape and Arena.
  • Technical ownership, organization, communication, and cross-functional leadership, with the ability to remain closely engaged on the production floor and build trust with technicians.

About the Company

Quantinuum

Full-stack quantum hardware and software solutions

Quantinuum provides both quantum hardware and software. Its H1-1 processor runs quantum circuits, while TKET is an open-access, architecture-independent software stack that lets developers design circuits that work across different quantum devices. It differs from competitors by delivering quantum-hardened encryption keys at the device level and offering a complete hardware-software package, plus it has demonstrated strong performance by passing the Quantum Volume 32,768 benchmark. Its goal is to help solve real-world problems like drug discovery, new materials design, and supply-chain optimization while keeping data secure against evolving quantum threats.
