About IonQ

Join IonQ, a leader in quantum computing, as a Technical Programme Manager. In this role, you will lead the deployment and commissioning of our quantum computing systems to customer sites across Europe and Asia. You will work across various teams, including engineering, science, global mobility, legal and trade compliance, supply chain, logistics, facilities, security, and customer teams. This is a fast-paced role that requires ownership, process design, and attention to detail.

Lead the planning and execution of quantum system deployment and commissioning at customer sites across Europe and Asia, ensuring successful delivery of IonQ's quantum computing systems.

You will be comfortable holding a critical path across teams that do not report to you, and able to explain technical status clearly to engineers, executives and customers alike

Responsibilities

• Drive site readiness by coordinating with facilities, security, networking, and customer stakeholders, and oversee staffing, installation sequencing, and vendors onsite.

Requirements

• You will have moved equipment and people across borders before, so export, customs and visas are familiar ground rather than a surprise
• You will come from a hardware background, with five or more years running technical programmes or deployments of complex hardware systems, and a technical degree or equivalent experience
• Work with enterprise, government or research customers during onsite deployment
• Experience taking a first of its kind product from prototype into production
• A second European language. English is the working requirement, anything further is a bonus
• Exposure to trapped ion systems, photonics or quantum computing, or an MS in a related technical field
