Senior NPI Materials Program Manager at PsiQuantum
Palo Alto, CA 94301
About the Job
We believe quantum computing will change everything. It will have the power to transform the foundations of giant industries that rely on intensive computation. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world’s first useful quantum computer, capable of delivering these transformative results. We know that means it will need 1 million qubits, error correction, a scalable architecture and a data center footprint.By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today’s most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more. PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing years earlier than our competitors
Our architecture is based on photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components using existing high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are today producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications
Since photons don’t feel heat, we can take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems, the kind that have been operating at facilities like the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). And because photons are in fact light, they can move between subsystems at tremendous speed using standard fiber connectivity.Our team is building a utility scale quantum computer and the software tools needed to build fault tolerant quantum applications
We’re a highly motivated and collaborative group focused on a singular goal - building the world’s first useful quantum computer on the fastest path possible. There’s much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey! Job Summary: The NPI Materials Program Manager will support PsiQuantum's Engineering and Operations team to drive supplier selection and on-boarding for pre-alpha, alpha, pre-beta, and beta builds; to track, negotiate, and drive down costs; to help track shortages and expedite deliveries; to help analyze if and when builds will be done internally or outsourced to a supplier.We are looking for an individual with experience in managing suppliers and supply chains in a technology environment, with particular experience in New Product Introduction, supporting Engineering builds, identifying and developing new suppliers, negotiating cost, and tracking build and release status of systems
Experience in cryogenics, electro-optical assemblies, and / or semiconductor wafer manufacturing is a plus.Responsibilities:Negotiate delivery, pricing, and other contract terms with key technology suppliers.Buildup, oversee, and project manage builds of specific engineering builds.Identify and select suppliers, in partnership with engineering, for key technologies sub-systems, and conduct screening and onboard.Expedite delivery of components as necessary to achieve project milestones.Experience/Qualifications:Bachelor's Degree in a business or technical field, MBE or ME of value.10 years working in Supply Chain in technology driven company, or 15 years overall in Supply Chain; at least 5 years experience working in New Product Introduction.Demonstrated business acumen in managing trade-offs for technical supplier selections.Successful ramp up of small and/or immature supply chains.Contract negotiation and management experience.Strong project management and problem solving skillsPsiQuantum provides equal employment opportunity for all applicants and employees
