Job description

Infleqtion is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders of magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. We are seeking self-motivated, energetic, eager-to-learn individuals with exceptional operations skills to help drive our Quantum Computing mission forward.
At Infleqtion we embrace a startup mentality driven by results, urgency, and customer-focused innovation:
  • We break down barriers between disciplines, stepping in wherever we can make the biggest impact.
  • We thrive in uncertainty, embracing challenges as opportunities.
  • We move quickly to prototype while never losing sight of the critical importance of systems engineering process and attention to detail.
  • We take bold, calculated risks to drive progress.

We are seeking a Project Coordinator (Deep Tech) to support project operations toward execution of Infleqtion's quantum computing roadmap. The ideal candidate brings strong operations discipline, desire to learn and create new processes, and help teammates by offloading operations tasks. With you around, nothing falls through the cracks!
Job Responsibilities
The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role. Depending on business needs, this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned at any time.
  • Operational & Facilities Support: Coordinate and execute day-to-day operational tasks including light equipment maintenance (e.g., UPS batteries, monitors), follow materials inventory procedures, pickup and distribution of orders, and acting as a go-between for shipping & receiving, IT, vendors, and engineering/R&D teams.
  • Project & Proposal Support: Coordinate and support proposal development, including support for statement of work development and budget scoping. Upon project award, support technical leads in project execution, including deliverable and schedule tracking, budget tracking, inventory management, purchasing, subcontract communications, and progress reporting. Engage with technical leaders to ensure alignment of resources with technical objectives. Support execution management practices: tracking risks, tasks, dependencies, deliverables.
  • Operational Communications: Serve as a primary internal point of contact between Quantum Computing R&D/Engineering/Program Management and company stakeholders in finance, facilities, marketing, and legal.
  • Process, Compliance & Controls: Support and enforce internal processes such as export control (internally and with vendors), IT security procedures (e.g. secure storage), legal handling of sensitive information, reliability tracking, and periodic follow-ups on open IT and compliance tickets.
  • Scheduling, Coordination & Follow-ups: Assist with complex scheduling, scrum rituals, and ad-hoc meetings; track action items; assist with trainings, timesheets, communications, and other required responses.
  • Tools, Tracking & Reporting: Maintain and monitor Jira boards (scrum boards and Gantt charts, purchase requests), track reliability and process adherence, ensure seeding meeting notes in Confluence, answer charge code questions, and assist with timesheets completion based on calendar data.

Requirements
  • Ability to Learn fast and Adapt: Demonstrated ability to quickly learn new internal tools, systems, and workflows with minimal guidance. Comfortable adapting to evolving processes, priorities, and requirements in a fast-paced technical environment. Proactive in seeking documentation, asking the right questions, and applying new knowledge independently.

  • Problem-Solving & Initiative:
    Self-starter who can identify gaps, propose improvements (e.g., templates, tracking methods, workflows), and take ownership of operational issues without needing constant direction.
  • Scheduling & Coordination Skills:
    Proven ability to schedule complex meetings across multiple calendars, resolve conflicts, and facilitate recurring rituals (e.g., scrums, stand-ups, reviews).
  • Attention to Detail:
    High accuracy in documentation, tracking, labeling, reporting, and procedural tasks where errors could have operational or compliance impact.
  • Physical & On-Site Capability:
