About the role
- We are looking for a Senior NPI Manufacturing Engineer - Control Electronics to join our Manufacturing Engineering.
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.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Direct experience with PCBA manufacturing processes: SMT, reflow, wave solder, hand solder, and relevant quality standards (IPC-A-610, J-STD-001).
- Experience driving Technical Data Package completeness for electronics assemblies: BOM structure, assembly drawings, wiring diagrams, and work instructions from prototype through production release.
- Apply electromechanical assembly expertise to the physical integration of control boxes, power distribution, chassis mounting, and cable management within racks.
Nice to have
- Experience with rack-level electromechanical integration - populating and cabling 19" rack enclosures with custom electronics, including power distribution and inter-chassis interface design.
- Familiarity with RF electronics, DAC/ADC-based control systems, or precision analog electronics in a manufacturing or test context.
- System-level understanding of control electronics architecture - how PCBA-level assemblies integrate into a multi-chassis control subsystem.
- Experience with interface design and connector DFMA - I/O panel layout, signal segregation, and panel-level assembly optimization.
- Experience with scripting (Python or similar) for basic test automation or incremental diagnostic tooling modifications.
- Experience transforming R&D prototypes into reproducible, CM-ready products.
- We empower employees to thrive by fostering a culture of autonomy, productivity, and respect.
- US Technical Jobs.
Skills
- Experience with PLM/ERP systems (Duro, NetSuite, Arena, or similar) for BOM management and change control.
- Ability to be on-site the majority of the time.
- In 2025, the company achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, setting a world record in quantum computing performance.
- IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before.
Compensation
- Posted base salary figures are subject to change as new market data becomes available.
Benefits
- will vary based on individual factors such as education, qualifications, and experience of the final candidate(s), specific
- Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k), unlimited PTO and paid holidays, parental/adoption leave, legal insurance, and a home technology stipend.
- Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided when a candidate receives an offer of employment.
- We are committed to equity and justice.
- office location, and calibration against relevant market data and internal team equity.
