Principal Technical Program Manager (Quantum Manufacturing)

## About the role - Own the full lot lifecycle from wafer-in to data-out: coordinate across fabrication, packaging, and cryogenic loading for measurement to ensure seamless handoffs and unbroken visibility at every stage - Own the master production schedule and drive daily execution with a relentless focus on throughput and quality — managing expedites, resolving blockers, and keeping stakeholders informed on status, risks, and recovery plans. ## Process & Technology Transfer into Production - Bachelors or above in Engineering, Operations management or related discipline - Significant experience in manufacturing, production operations, hardware development, supply chain, or related technical environments. - Demonstrated experience leading complex cross-functional programs involving multiple engineering and operational stakeholders. - Communication and stakeholder management skills — with a proven ability to drive alignment across multiple teams without direct authority. - Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving environments where you'll need to build systems and processes alongside the people using them - Significant experience in semiconductor manufacturing, fabrication operations, hardware production, or other complex technical manufacturing environments, ideally including R&D, pilot-line, or pre-production settings where processes are still maturing - Track record of managing end-to-end production flow across multiple process areas (e.g., fabrication, packaging, test) - Experience in small-scale or pilot-line environments transitioning toward low-volume manufacturing — including navigating the tension between development and production priorities - Analytical skills with experience using production data to drive decisions (yield analysis, cycle time tracking, statistical process control (SPC)) - Experience defining and implementing stage-gate or manufacturing readiness review frameworks - Experience working as production coordinator, process integration, product management or similar - Experience managing or leading a team of engineers or technicians in a manufacturing environment - Experience working across multiple countries and time zones with distributed engineering teams - Technical fluency in quantum computing, photonics, semiconductor physics, or related deep-tech domains — sufficient to engage credibly with scientists and engineers (PhD not required) - Experience with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), ERP, or fab scheduling tools - Experience in statistical analysis processes and software. - Demonstrated experience in production scheduling, Work-in-progress (WIP) management, and capacity planning in a fab or cleanroom setting - Experience building or leading new process introduction (NPI) / tech transfer processes — transitioning R&D outputs into repeatable production ## Requirements - These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: - Experience with AI-driven productivity tools (e.g., Copilot, automated testing, intelligent alerting).
