The Role:
We are looking for a Senior NPI Manufacturing Engineer — Control Electronics to join our Manufacturing Engineering. As a Senior NPI Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world’s best quantum computers to solve the world’s most complex problems.
In this role, you will own the new product introduction and DFMA process for IonQ’s control electronics subsystem. You will bridge early prototype build activity at IonQ’s College Park, MD facility to production-ready processes at the Bothell manufacturing facility, and you will lead the standup of IonQ’s controls rack integration capability in Seattle. The ideal candidate is someone with a strong electrical engineering foundation who can embed themselves early in design cycles, engage deeply with PCBA and box build designs for manufacturability, and drive rigorous NPI execution from prototype through production handoff.
Responsibilities :
Embed early in design reviews for PCBA and box-level control electronics assemblies, and drive incorporation of DFMAT feedback into designs by collaborating cross-functionally with electrical and mechanical engineers on schematics, layout constraints, stackup, component selection, and packaging.
Review and redline PCBA designs with an EE lens — signal integrity, thermal management, layer stackup, via rules, component spacing, and manufacturability at target volumes.
Assess box-level enclosure and chassis designs for assembly access, harness routing, connector placement, labeling, and rack integration compatibility
Maintain DFM feedback documentation and track incorporation through design revision cycles per box build.
Drive completeness of Technical Data Packages for all control electronics box builds: BOM release status, assembly drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics, test procedures, and work instructions prior to NPI and production gates.
Collaborate with design engineering to ensure design releases are complete and structured correctly for manufacturing and supply chain execution.
Author and peer review assembly instructions and manufacturing SOPs to a standard executable by technicians without engineering support.
Lead the cross-site NPI transition for control electronics box builds from alpha/beta prototyping to production, including first article builds, process qualification, and production readiness verification.
Travel across sites to participate in early prototype box build assemblies; capture build observations, redlines, and process learnings to inform production process development.
