With integrated full-stack technology, our world-class team is rapidly scaling quantum computing.Quantinuum recently secured $300M in funding, visit our news pages to learn more about this and other Quantinuum scientific breakthroughs and achievements: https://www.quantinuum.com/newsWe are seeking a Director – Hardware Producibility in our Broomfield, CO location. Quantinuum believes that employees work better, more efficiently and more collaboratively in close proximity to other employees, where ideas can be exchanged readily, and decisions can be made more quickly for the benefit of the Company and our customers. All employees should work at their assigned location; however, this role may offer the opportunity to work remotely at times, with approvals.The quantum computing industry is embarking on a new phase of business. We are transitioning from a paradigm of occasional and remote, exploratory usage of experimental quantum computers to a model in which numerous customers demand exceptionally high-performance, commercial-scale machines dedicated and operated within their local facilities. To meet this need, we must dramatically scale up the producibility and economy of this highly complex multiphysics technology. We are seeking a unique and exceptional leader to head Quantinuum’s production and hardware producibility efforts. This hardware includes such varied technologies as cryogenics, low-noise analog and RF electronics, ultrahigh-vacuum, laser systems for spectroscopy across a range of wavelengths from UV to near IR, microfabricated devices (CMOS and MEMs), bulk optics, micro-optics, and integrated photonics. The ideal leader will have manufacturing expertise across a broad swath of those technology areas and experience integrating such complex systems of major subsystems.Key Responsibilities:Establish the vision and strategies for scaling up the producibility of critical technologies needed for next-generation quantum computers: laser systems, optics and photonics; cryogenics; ultra-high vacuum; high-performance electronics, etc.Partner with science and engineering teams to transition early prototype hardware builds into reliable, low-rate production; develop and train the necessary manufacturing workforceDrive decisions regarding which technologies should be manufactured in-house, as core competencies, and which should be outsourcedWith Strategic Sourcing and Engineering, identify strategic collaborators and suppliers to execute our production vision.Evaluate and mature the manufacturing readiness level of key subsystem technologies and quantum computer assembly overall.
