Planning and Configuration Control Manager

The role

You will own manufacturing schedules and controlled build records for neutral-atom quantum computers. You will keep material readiness, subsystem production, system integration and configuration changes aligned across first-of-a-kind and repeat builds.

What you will do

• Lead build planning, configuration control, and manufacturing data management.
• Maintain resource-loaded plans for material readiness, subsystem builds, System Integration & Test, and Quantum Engineering verification.
• Coordinate qualified personnel, shared instruments, benches, and system rooms; resolve conflicts with department managers.
• Translate milestones into material need dates, work-package releases, inspection gates, and handoffs; report critical-path changes and readiness gaps.
• Control BOMs, work instructions, test procedures, revisions, and approved changes with Engineering and Manufacturing.
• Maintain traceability between installed hardware, serial identities, firmware and software versions, and build/test evidence.
• Establish controlled repositories and approval workflows; verify complete as-built and as-tested records at handoffs.
• Align planning, configuration and NetSuite records; coordinate dependencies with the PMO Manufacturing TPM.

Required qualifications

• BS in engineering, manufacturing, operations, supply chain, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• 10+ years in production planning, resource-loaded scheduling, or hardware configuration management.
• 3+ years leading a configuration-control function for low-volume, high-complexity equipment.
• Experience managing concurrent prototypes and repeat builds with hardware and software configuration records.
• Strong resource-loaded scheduling, critical-path analysis, and capacity-planning skills.
• Knowledge of multi-level BOMs, revision control, change applicability, and as-built/as-tested records.
• Experience with product lifecycle management, ERP, document-control, and scheduling tools.
• Clear readiness reporting and disciplined follow-through across Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and PMO.

Nice to have

• Quantum-computing, photonics, or scientific-instrument experience.
• Familiarity with Smartsheet, Jira, Confluence, and NetSuite.

Benefits

• Fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents.
• Unlimited paid time off.
• 401K company matching.
• Short- and long-term disability.
• FSA and dependent care benefits.
• Life insurance.
• Drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in the offices every day.
