The Role:
We are looking for a Production Support Engineer to join our Manufacturing and Production Team. As the Production Support Engineer, you'll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world's best quantum computers to solve the world's most complex problems.
In this role, you will serve as a critical engineering anchor for our production floor. In this role, you will not typically be behind a desk; instead, you will be on the floor daily, supporting our production technicians as they build, integrate, and test highly complex quantum computing hardware. You will be the first line of defense for any technical blockers, deviations, or process inefficiencies, ensuring our builds remain on schedule without sacrificing IonQ's quality standards and processes.
Responsibilities:

• Provide real-time engineering support to production technicians experiencing build, assembly, or test issues.
• Investigate failures or components that do not fit/function as intended, triaging the NC process and determining disposition (rework, scrap, or MRB escalation).
• Review and update assembly documentation, SOPs, and build logs when discrepancies are found on the floor.
• Design, procure, or improve fixtures, jigs, and shop aids to make assemblies safer, faster, and more repeatable for technicians.
• Ensure the production line has the necessary calibrated tooling, specialized equipment, and technical clarity to execute builds.
• Act as the bridge between the production technicians and the core Design/Manufacturing Engineering teams, translating floor struggles into actionable design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback.
• Initiate and document Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), helping to track quality trends on the line.
• Assist in onboarding and training technicians on engineering specifications and delicate handling procedures (e.g., optics, ultra-high vacuum components, or precision cabling).

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in a hands-on production, manufacturing, or hardware development environment.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot hardware issues on the fly in a high-tech manufacturing setting.
• Experience reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings, CAD models, schematics, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust with technicians on the floor and communicate effectively with manufacturing and design engineers.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with high-precision assemblies, optomechanical builds, fiber optics, or ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems.
• A history of independently resolving hardware failures with minimal supervision.
• Experience with cleanroom environments (Class 100 to 10,000).
• Familiarity with CAD, PLM software and ERP/MRP Systems.

US Technical Jobs. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions. Employment with IonQ is contingent on either verifying "U.S. Person" (e.g., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum) status for export controls and government contracts work, obtaining any necessary license, and/or confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls. Please note that in the absence of confirming you are a U.S. Person for export control and government contracts work purposes, IonQ may choose not to apply for a license or decline to use a license exception (if available) for you to access export-controlled technology that may require authorization, and similarly, you may not qualify for government contracts work that requires U.S. Persons, and IonQ may decline to proceed with your application on those bases alone. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
