We are seeking a
System Integration Build Manager in our Broomfield, CO location to lead the planning, assembly, and integration of commercial quantum computing systems. These systems combine large, multi-functional systems including optical systems, electronic control, environmental control into industry-leading quantum processing units. In this role, you will supervise the build team, develop and execute detailed build plans, and coordinate staffing and shared resources across multiple system builds. You will also be responsible for the safety, cleanliness, layout, and equipping of the build spaces.
This role combines personnel management with day-to-day build leadership. You will serve as the primary source of daily work assignments for personnel supporting builds, working closely with system and subsystem engineering leads, program managers, supply chain, and facilities teams to establish priorities, resolve blockers, and communicate build progress. Successful candidates will bring experience leading large and complex hardware builds and developing technical teams in an environment where designs and processes continue to evolve. Finally, this role will be responsible for partnering with the larger manufacturing group to ensure build process and documentation matures as part of the development into full scale manufacturing.
