Technical Programme Manager (System Delivery)

IonQ
Oxford, England, United Kingdom 🇬🇧
  • Onsite
  • Full Time
Apply on source site
  • We are looking for a Technical Programme Manager to lead the delivery of IonQ’s quantum computing systems to customer sites across Europe and Asia
  • You will own deployment and commissioning end to end, from early planning and export through to installation, commissioning and customer handover
  • You will work across engineering, science, global mobility, legal and trade compliance, supply chain, logistics, facilities, security and customer teams
  • We are growing quickly and the support functions a programme manager finds at a larger company are still being built here, so the role suits someone who takes ownership, designs the process where none exists, and sweats the detail themselves
  • Lead planning and execution of quantum system deployment and commissioning at customer sites across Europe and Asia
  • Run export, import and customs work with legal, trade compliance and logistics teams for highly specialised equipment
  • Coordinate global mobility for deploying teams, covering visas, work authorisation, travel and field assignment readiness
  • Drive site readiness with facilities, security, networking and customer stakeholders, and coordinate staffing, installation sequencing and vendors onsite
  • Track risk and critical path, and resolve issues across internal teams, vendors and customers
  • 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
  • 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
  • Installing or commissioning complex hardware at customer sites internationally
