Jobs at IonQ

Integrate and precisely align optical, mechanical, and electrical subsystems. Follow and develop assembly and alignment procedures, perform metrology and inspections, troubleshoot performance issues, maintain documentation and contamination control, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure reliable optical subsystem integration.

Build and operate backend services for IonQ's Network and Security Platform: high-throughput telemetry ingestion, time-series storage, real-time processing, and APIs. Implement event streaming, cloud-native deployments, observability, and reliability practices; participate in on-call and incident response. Collaborate with architects, lead code reviews, and mentor engineers to deliver production-grade distributed systems.

Lead enterprise data architecture, governance, integration, and platform roadmap. Establish data models, lineage, cataloging, access controls (RBAC/ABAC/IAM), and M&A data integration while partnering with Finance, GTM, HR, IT, Security, Legal, and Product to ensure trusted, secure, and usable enterprise data.

Lead a team to develop and execute component-level acceptance testing and test infrastructure for spacecraft. Own test strategies, automated test systems, GSE, flatsats, calibration and lifecycle planning. Drive troubleshooting, partner with engineering and manufacturing to improve testability, and establish KPIs to measure throughput, utilization, and infrastructure availability to support production and integration.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll lead the development of innovative electronic solutions for quantum instruments, manage PCB design, and collaborate with various engineering teams.

Lead the design and development of electronics for quantum sensors, overseeing PCB development, providing technical mentorship, and collaborating across engineering disciplines.

The Senior Staff Quality Engineer oversees quality control for spacecraft systems, ensuring compliance with standards and leading process improvements across manufacturing and engineering teams.

As a Satellite Operations Engineer, you'll manage the satellite operational life-cycle, focusing on commissioning, fleet health, and anomaly response.

Design, analyze, and optimize free-space optical communication and high-speed laser systems for space applications. Lead full lifecycle from concept through prototyping, run optical simulations, optimize for manufacturing/alignment tolerances and fiber coupling, perform optomechanical and Structural-Thermal-Optical analysis, integrate with cross-functional teams, document designs and tests, and mentor peers.

Own and operate the classical infrastructure supporting quantum hardware: provision Linux servers (PXE, OS installs), build and maintain infrastructure-as-code and automation, design and troubleshoot lab/datacenter networking (VLANs, switches, firewalls, cabling), integrate scientific hardware and device drivers, use out-of-band management (IPMI/BMC), write runbooks, and resolve urgent infrastructure issues to enable experiments.

The Senior Manager of Financial Modeling will centralize and enhance IonQ's long-range financial models, execute scenario analyses, and provide clear financial insights for executive decision-making.

Lead and manage a team of electrical engineers for the design, development, and testing of electrical systems and components in aerospace applications, ensuring compliance and driving innovation.

Lead full-cycle PCBA design for spaceflight hardware from concept through in-orbit debug. Develop robust analog/digital boards, define test and verification plans, guide manufacturing handoff, conduct cross-disciplinary reviews, mentor engineers, engage vendors/CMs, and drive failure analysis and process improvements to deliver flight-ready electronics.

The Group Product Manager will lead IonQ's quantum networking technologies, defining product strategies, driving growth, and overseeing cross-functional teams to meet market needs.

As a Senior Infrastructure Software Engineer, you will oversee the automated electronic hardware test platform, ensuring reliability and scalability. Responsibilities include designing CI/CD pipelines, managing infrastructure, enforcing security best practices, and collaborating across teams to develop robust solutions.

The Senior Staff Software Architect will lead the design of a high-scale Network Monitoring Platform, focusing on cloud-native architecture, data ingestion pipelines, and real-time processing, while mentoring engineers and driving architectural decisions.

Manage FP&A tooling and operations by leading the administration of Pigment models, consulting on best practices, and ensuring data integrity for actionable insights.

The Mechanical Engineer will lead the design of aerospace components and collaborate on performance and environmental standards in space technology.

The Senior Manager Internal Audit leads the audit function, ensuring risk management, compliance, and operational excellence across business processes and M&A integrations while serving as a trusted advisor to senior management.

The Staff Software Engineer will define the technical strategy and architecture for IonQ's SDKs, lead productization efforts, mentor engineers, and ensure quality and usability of quantum developer tools.
