Lead Manufacturing Engineer - 1031

The role

Lead manufacturing engineering for a complex quantum computing hardware program. Coordinate subsystem teams, manage manufacturing risks, and move the program from development into production.

What you will do

• Serve as the lead manufacturing engineering interface for the entire hardware program.
• Establish and drive the program's manufacturing readiness strategy, from development to production.
• Partner with subsystem leads so designs, processes, tooling and inspection align with program goals.
• Lead cross-functional resolution of manufacturing, integration, quality and production issues.
• Identify, assess and mitigate manufacturing risks across the program.
• Review designs for manufacturability, assembly, test, reliability, cost and scalability.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing processes, work instructions, inspection plans and training materials.
• Lead tooling, fixtures, test equipment and production infrastructure for repeatable manufacturing.
• Track yield, cycle time, defects, rework and process capability, and drive improvements.
• Work with Supply Chain and Quality on supplier qualification, inspection and nonconformance resolution.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree minimum.
• Minimum 7+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or a related discipline supporting complex hardware, taking products from development through production.
• Minimum 3+ years CAD experience, including solid models and designs for tooling, fixtures and manufacturing.
• U.S. Person status: U.S. citizen, permanent resident or green card holder, or granted asylum or refugee status.

Nice to have

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, Systems, Physics, Chemical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience leading manufacturing engineering across multiple subsystems or an integrated hardware program.
• Experience with Design for Manufacturing, process development, production readiness and prototype-to-production transition.
• Experience leading cross-functional problem solving across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain and operations.
• Experience integrating subsystem manufacturing activities into a larger system.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and work on groundbreaking technology.
• Flexible work arrangements.
• Employer-subsidized medical, dental and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company match and student loan repayment benefit.
• Equity opportunities.
