Jobs at IonQ

• Create and maintain product materials for the Quantum Interconnect Platform
• Interface directly with engineering teams to define the product roadmap, including adjacent technologies as needed

• Own the technical strategy and multi-year roadmap for operational excellence and production readiness across development, pre-production, and production environments.
• Define and govern the New Service Introduction framework, including mandatory architecture, security, resilience, capacity, observability, supportability, and release-readiness reviews before services enter production.

• Collaborate with IonQ’s industry, government, and academic partners, as well as internal teams, to implement new use-cases and applications using the SiV quantum memory platform
• Evaluate and test new hardware (e.g. pair sources, sensors, etc.) for compatibility with SiV memory nodes, for example, to add new capabilities to the network, or to enable new distributed applications

• Creating simple and clear interfaces in cooperation with domain experts. We bridge quantum computing to specific domain, by creating clear API interfaces in the language and visuals domain experts are experts in.
• Designing the API endpoints and intuitive software library interfaces, making applications and ...

• Execute released procedures to clean, assemble, bond, inspect, and test packaged ion traps and related quick-turn hardware.
• Personally operate complex packaging equipment.

• Support, define, and evolve the narrative, positioning, and messaging for Space Solutions across customer segments and buyer personas — translating technical space capabilities into customer-ready language that resonates with U.S. government, allied government, defense, intelligence, civil, and commercial space audiences.

• Own, define, and evolve the narrative, positioning, and messaging for Quantum Sensing products across customer segments and buyer personas — translating highly technical capabilities into customer-ready language that resonates with government, defense, aerospace, national security, critical infrastructure, and technically sophisticated commercial audiences.

• Prototype and characterize coherent control and cooling schemes for trapped-ion qubits using laser and microwave fields.
• Calibrate and benchmark quantum systems, focusing on achieving ultra-low gate errors and optimizing performance across device modules.

• Provide real-time engineering support to production technicians experiencing build, assembly, or test issues.
• Investigate failures or components that do not fit/function as intended, triaging the NC process and determining disposition (rework, scrap, or MRB escalation).

• Clarify Commitments: Know every deal's delivery and reporting obligations: who owes what, to whom, and by when. Turn contracts and the between-the-lines expectations into a clear, shared picture of what "delivered" means for each customer. Address new needs and ambiguities as they arise, balancing margin, timeline, customer happiness, and roadmap alignment.

• Perform regular inspections and maintenance tasks on HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, lighting, and other building systems. Make repairs as needed or coordinate with external contractors.
• Work with external vendors or contractors for specialized projects, repairs, or maintenance when needed.

• Understand The Market: work internally and externally to build and communicate a strong point of view about our customers — particularly future customers who believe upcoming generations will unlock needed capability — and the ability for IonQ's and competitors' solutions to deliver on their needs.

• Perform detailed structural analyses for spacecraft, payload, and ground support hardware.
• Develop, correlate, and maintain high-fidelity finite element models for static, dynamic, thermal, and nonlinear analyses.

• Be a team leader for a growing group that is tasked with both testing and debugging complex electronic circuits. The circuits include a complex mix of FPGAs, MCUs, mixed-signal, precision analog and photonics devices.
• Collaborate with physicists, electrical, mechanical, software, and optical engineers to develop...

• Provide real-time sustaining engineering support in the cleanroom so QPU builds, technician work, and critical equipment stay on track.
• Personally operate, program, troubleshoot, and improve complex packaging equipment, with particular emphasis on wire bonding and die/flip-chip bonding.

• Become a subject matter expert on IonQ’s user-facing quantum computing software, production systems, and ecosystem integrations
• Answer user questions, troubleshoot incidents, and assist with internal investigation, acting as the primary interface between IonQ customers and our software and system operations teams

• Design quantum-safe target architectures and migration paths for customer networks — spanning WAN and transport, data center and campus, segmentation and access control, key management, and the crypto that underpins all of it.
• Lead technical discovery and architecture workshops with network, security, and infrastructure ...

• Write and verify embedded firmware for ST microcontrollers, including COTS devices and MCUs integrated into custom ASICs
• Implement control algorithms critical to the operation of high-precision quantum sensing instruments

• - Own product operations, ensuring features are defined, tracked throughout the product lifecycle and delivered across cross-functional teams.

Translate market and customer insights into product features, while triaging, planning and coordinating special customer projects.
Partner with Engineering, Industrialisation, Production and Marketing to optimise product lifecycle processes and drive efficient product delivery.

• Perform incoming visual inspection of all PCBAs using IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria.
• Assemble, inspect, and verify electronic flight hardware and cable/harness assemblies.
