Atom Computing is building quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms. We are seeking a Planning & Configuration Control Manager to own manufacturing schedules and controlled build records for our quantum computer systems.
In this role, you will establish and lead the planning and configuration-control function as Atom scales its manufacturing organization. You'll be responsible for keeping material readiness, subsystem production, system integration, and configuration changes aligned across first-of-a-kind and repeat builds.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead build planning, configuration control, and manufacturing data management; establish clear ownership of schedules, work packages, and release records
- Maintain resource-loaded plans covering material readiness, subsystem builds, System Integration & Test (SI&T), and Quantum Engineering verification phases
- Coordinate qualified personnel, shared instruments, benches, and system rooms; identify conflicts and develop recovery plans with department managers
- Translate milestones into material need dates, work-package releases, inspection gates, and handoffs; report critical-path changes and readiness gaps
- Control engineering and manufacturing bills of materials (BOMs), work instructions, test procedures, revisions, and approved changes with Engineering and Manufacturing teams
- Maintain traceability between installed hardware, serial identities, firmware/software versions, and build/test evidence for each system configuration
- Establish controlled repository and approval workflows; verify complete as-built and as-tested records at subsystem and system handoffs
- Align planning, configuration, and NetSuite records through consistent identifiers and workflows; coordinate cross-functional dependencies with the PMO Manufacturing TPM
Requirements:
- BS in engineering, manufacturing, operations, supply chain, or related field, or equivalent relevant planning and configuration-management experience
- 10+ years in production planning, resource-loaded scheduling, or hardware configuration management, including experience across both schedule and configuration disciplines
- 3+ years leading configuration-control function for low-volume, high-complexity equipment
- Experience managing concurrent prototypes and repeat builds with hardware/software configuration records; quantum-computing, photonics, or scientific-instrument experience preferred
- Strong resource-loaded scheduling, critical-path analysis, and capacity-planning skills for concurrent hardware builds and shared test resources
- Knowledge of multi-level BOMs, revision control, change applicability, and as-built/as-tested configuration records
- Ability to maintain hardware, firmware, software, and test-method traceability
- Experience with product lifecycle management, ERP, document-control, and scheduling tools; Smartsheet, Jira, Confluence, and NetSuite familiarity preferred
- Clear readiness reporting and disciplined follow-through across Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and PMO
