About the role

You will integrate the schedules of several internal quantum computer development efforts into one integrated master schedule that shows our path to fault tolerant, utility scale quantum computing, and you will present it to government customers and their technical experts. When a test event validates a system requirement or retires a risk, you will work out what it means for the schedule, forecast the remaining risk honestly and raise any gap before it threatens a contractual milestone.
