We are looking for a proven TPM with leadership and expertise in silicon device development that will  focus on the Quantum Processor Devices. You will own the new product programme execution for silicon device development within our quantum computing roadmap, will be responsible for the successful execution of new product development programs: translating complex technical work into clear plans, measurable milestones, and predictable delivery. As a TPM, you’ll be at the centre of a cross-functional team, working day-to-day with physicists and engineers, and partnering closely with external suppliers and internal stakeholders; to ensure work progresses with pace, clarity, and high attention to detail.

You will be working directly with the lead TPM and serve as a QPU cross functional program liaison with other technical and non-technical organizations across the company. You’ll create and run the operating rhythm that keeps teams aligned and leaders informed: building delivery plans, tracking dependencies, surfacing risks early, and producing decision-ready reporting that senior stakeholders can trust. Responsibilities will also include project planning, coordination, risk management, and stakeholder management. When priorities shift or technical issues emerge, you’ll drive structure into ambiguity; clarifying scope, coordinating trade-offs, and pushing problems to resolution while continuously improving how we execute across the hardware lifecycle.

Responsibilities:

• Lead silicon device development programmes (or workstreams), owning scope, schedule, resources, budget, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment using best-practice PM tools.
• Translating progress, risks, and trade-offs into clear, executive-ready reporting for senior stakeholders. 
• Drive cross-functional execution across physics, engineering, and partner teams; identify blockers early and take issues to closure with robust risk mitigation and contingency planning.
• Partner with device designers, physicists, and engineers to ensure designs are feasible, buildable, and aligned to programme milestones and deliverables.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills, able to align technical and non-technical stakeholders and drive decisions through competing priorities.
• Establish programme cadences and executive reporting (dashboards, status, decision logs), ensuring senior leaders have accurate, timely, decision-ready information.
• Support continuous improvement of engineering workflows across the hardware lifecycle.

You’d be a good fit with:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. Advanced degree preferred.
• 13+ years’ experience as a Technical Program or Programme Manager delivering complex hardware programmes, ideally in chip design, silicon devices, or semiconductor manufacturing.
• Comfortable operating in a highly technical environment, and being a technically fluent TPM who can bring structure, pace, and precision to complex silicon device programmes. 
• Thrive in ambiguity, building trust quickly, and creating the delivery rhythm that keeps multiple workstreams moving across sites and time zones.
• Hardware programme experience and a sharp analytical mindset. Able to spot inconsistencies, interrogate data, and turn messy reality into an accurate plan, a credible forecast, and a practical set of next actions. Not just coordinating, but driving outcomes, unblocking teams, and raising the bar on how programmes are run.
• Highly analytical and detail-oriented, with strong problem-solving ability and confidence managing risk, dependencies, and changing scope in fast-moving environments.
• Comfortable with modern programme tooling and ways of working, for example Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, and GitHub, and motivated by the mission and pace of quantum computing.

You’d be a great fit with:

• In depth knowledge of semiconductor design and fabrication processes
• Working knowledge of semiconductor packaging and testing flows
