PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first commercially useful quantum computer to solve humanity. Backed by Founders Fund and Redpoint.
About the role
The Manager/Sr Manager of Process Engineering will manage a team of opto-mechanical process engineers and be responsible for subassembly (SA) development and assembly build, ensuring quality, for RD and volume system integration and deployment at PsiQ QC (quantum computer) sites. This role requires engineering disciplines in packaging, processing, and associated qualifications, a strong “can-do” attitude in a fast-paced environment, problem-solving, and excellent communication with teams across multiple disciplines
What they're looking for
- Master’s degree or higher in an applicable engineering discipline, such as Process Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or Applied Physics
- 10+ years of experience applying engineering principles to solve complex opto-mechanical assembly process problems,
- Experienced with optical and photonics assembly and inspection equipment, processes, and material systems (die attach, wire bonding, optical coupling, flip chip, underfill, etc.)
- Familiar with key opto-mechanical packaging and assembly equipment, piece-part supplier base, and the quality system,
- Experience in design, analysis, and assembly of subsystems, build NPI pilot line, transfer process to operation, and support manufacturing, supplier and contract manufacturing management experience is a plus
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, Self-starter,
More about this role
PsiQuantum’s mission is to build the first useful quantum computers—machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.
Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like GlobalFoundries—we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago,...
