Senior Engineering Planning Coordinator - Quantum Systems Integration

Program Leadership & System Execution:

Own end‑to‑end execution of Quantum Systems Integration programs, translating system architecture and engineering constraints into integrated plans with clear ownership, milestones, and success criteria, and driving coordinated execution across subsystems to ensure alignment on sequencing, interfaces, and integration points.

Systems Integration & Readiness:

Partner closely with Systems, Hardware, Software, and Physics teams to ensure technically sound program plans, lead system‑level gate reviews to drive cross‑functional alignment, and proactively surface and resolve cross‑team risks impacting hardware, facilities, supply chain, testing, and integration readiness.

Operating Cadence & Execution Rigor:

Establish and run program operating rhythm, maintain dynamic schedules and risk plans aligned to PM deliverables, and ensure rigorous tracking and follow‑through on actions, decisions, and milestones across matrixed engineering teams.

Technical Partnership & Communication:

Serve as a technical partner to engineering leads, translating complex information into clear program narratives, producing high‑quality decision‑enabling artifacts, and delivering crisp, data‑backed execution updates in cross‑org and leadership forums.
