Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the team to understand the specifications and set build plans and schedules for production of wiring and interconnect components.
  
• Lead a team of engineers and technicians (technical leadership) to mature the production environment and deliver adequate quantities of yielded hardware to meet the needs to scale-up our quantum computers.
• Drive manufacturing efforts, collect and analyze data, and troubleshoot designs to feed back to design engineers.
• Help identify and perform failure analysis on failed parts, root cause and help define process improvements to mitigate.
• Work with the team to develop and mature the production environment, including generating well-organized documentation such as standard operating procedures, process travelers, and part inventory.
