Production Manager
About Us
QuantWare is the world's leading manufacturer of superconducting quantum hardware. As a hyper-growth scale-up with a global customer base, our mission is to accelerate the advent of the quantum computer. We push the boundaries of what's possible in our field. We work on making the world’s largest quantum processors as fast as possible.
At QuantWare, we’re not just producing quantum hardware for the hyperscalers of tomorrow; we’re working on technology that will change the world. To make that ambition a reality, we need exceptional people who drive real impact. That’s where you come in.
As a Production Manager, you will own the heartbeat of our manufacturing operation as we scale our quantum hardware from pilot to high-volume production. You’ll lead the full production flow, from nanofabrication through assembly to cryogenic testing, ensuring our motivated, high-performing team delivers world-class quality and predictable output.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone excited by fast growth and the challenge of building a production organisation that can scale 10× this year and 10× again next year. Quantum experience isn’t required; semicon scale-up excellence is.
What you'll be doing
Lead the day-to-day operation of the production team across fabrication, assembly, and cryogenic test
Own production performance: quality, output, lead time, team engagement, and cost
Coach and grow team members, creating a strong, accountable, and positive production culture
Build structure and predictability while scaling throughput at extreme speed
Drive production planning for both internal and external customers
Partner closely with process (integration) engineering to ramp up new fabrication tools and transition from pilot processes to stable volume manufacturing
Your Profile
Several years of production management + people leadership in semiconductor fab, MEMS foundry or similar high-volume high-tech manufacturing operation
Proven experience supporting scale-up, volume ramps, or pilot-to-fab transitions
Structured, data-driven, and pragmatic, you bring order without slowing innovation
Comfortable operating in an environment where processes are evolving fast
