About the role

Engineering Operations Manager: QuEra is seeking an Engineering Operations Manager to make execution across software, hardware, test infrastructure, and QPU programs more predictable, visible, and efficient.
This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with broad organizational influence.
It is not a substitute for technical ownership, product management, engineering management, or infrastructure ownership.

Responsibilities

Maintain a single, decision-useful view of active initiatives, planned work, critical-path dependencies, risks, and delivery confidence.
Surface priority or resource conflicts early, document their delivery impact, and bring them to the accountable leader for decision.
Establish and maintain, in partnership with engineering leaders, practical standards for initiative, epic, issue, and release hygiene across engineering Jira projects.
Keep Jira roadmaps, Confluence status pages, engineering documentation, and GitHub delivery activity aligned enough to support reliable reporting.
Coordinate dependency visibility among software, hardware, systems, science, test infrastructure, lab operations, procurement, facilities, security, and external partners.
Build integrated plans for machine milestones, hardware/software integration gates, testbed readiness, infrastructure transitions, and customer or partner commitments using estimates and technical inputs approved by accountable owners.
Track long-lead procurement, vendor, lab, compute, network, storage, test-equipment, and staffing dependencies that can affect engineering delivery.
Maintain risk, assumption, issue, and dependency logs for critical programs and ensure mitigations have accountable owners and target dates.
Partner with engineering owners to improve build, test, release, and deployment flow without taking ownership of the underlying technical systems.
Coordinate post-incident follow-up, ensuring significant failures produce clear corrective actions, owners, due dates, and updates to engineering plans; the responsible engineering or infrastructure owner leads incident response, diagnosis, and root-cause approval.

Compensation

We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly.

Company info

Produce concise, trustworthy weekly and monthly engineering updates for technical and company leadership.
Create meeting agendas, pre-reads, decision records, and action logs that reduce meeting time and ambiguity.
Improve shared onboarding processes and make engineering processes, ownership, and authoritative sources easier to find, while functional leaders retain ownership of role-specific onboarding and technical training.
Identify recurring coordination work that should be standardized, automated, delegated, or eliminated.
Help pilot and operationalize QuEra's unified hardware/software engineering process, including synchronized planning and integration gates approved by engineering leadership.

Equal opportunity

This role is located in Boston, MA and requires you to be on-site 5 days per week.
QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
