Head of QPU Production

At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.

Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.

The work

You will turn QPU fabrication and packaging into a repeatable, measurable production capability. Your focus is throughput, yield, and predictable delivery, while protecting safety and wellbeing in a cleanroom environment. --> You will lead QPU production to enable IQM Quantum computer deliveries. You'll scale up the production site and operations to the next level, ending up with multiplied volumes and predictable yield in a safe working culture. You'll have a great viewpoint and opportunity to do this in collaboration with IQM's fabrication and quantum engineering experts for the benefit of the humankind

What you'll actually do Lead the QPU Production organisation, Including fabrication, micro packaging, and materials supply

Ensure high quality QPUs are available for quantum computer deliveries, with clear production planning and execution against demand

Build the production ramp up plan, staffing needs, and operating cadence

Set up the production control points across the line and drive alignment on pass fail criteria with process engineering leads

Establish yield tracking and loss breakdown across wafer and chip flow

Put the right production metrics in place and use them to drive daily decisions, prioritisation, and continuous improvement

Collaborate with other engineering teams to enable controlled implementation of new processes and products

Partner closely with process engineering on troubleshooting and production quality, so decisions can m
