We are seeking an ASIC Project Engineer in our Broomfield, CO, location to help drive development of the custom integrated circuits that enable Quantinuum's next-generation Apollo and Lumos quantum computers. This role is responsible for coordinating the successful execution of advanced ASIC programs spanning design, foundry engagement, fabrication, advanced packaging, qualification, and system integration.
The ideal candidate combines strong technical understanding of semiconductor development with exceptional program execution skills. They will work closely with ASIC designers, system architects, packaging engineers, procurement, legal, finance, and external development partners to ensure critical technology programs remain aligned with Quantinuum's roadmap, schedules, budgets, and technical objectives.
This position requires a proactive leader who can navigate complex supplier relationships, manage program risk, coordinate cross-functional teams, and translate ambitious technical goals into executable plans. Candidates should expect to be immersed in a fast-paced, multi-functional, R&D-focused environment where initiative, organization, and technical curiosity are highly valued.
Quantinuum believes that employees work better, more efficiently and more collaboratively in close proximity to other employees, where ideas can be exchanged readily, and decisions can be made more quickly for the benefit of the Company and our customers. All employees should work at their assigned location; however, this role may offer the opportunity to work remotely up to 2 days per week, with approvals.
All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead execution of ASIC development programs supporting Quantinuum's Apollo and Lumos quantum computing roadmaps.
- Serve as the primary program interface between Quantinuum and external foundries, test providers, and technology partners.
- Manage the execution of ASIC design and fabrication with foundries.
- Develop and maintain program schedules, milestones, deliverables, critical paths, and risk-management plans across multiple ASIC efforts.
- Establish Statements of Work (SOWs), technical deliverables, acceptance criteria, and budgets with suppliers and partners.
- Coordinate activities across engineering, procurement, finance, legal, quality, and program-management organizations.
- Facilitate technical and program reviews with external partners and internal stakeholders.
- Work closely with ASIC designers, architects, packaging engineers, and test teams to translate technical objectives into supplier requirements and executable plans.
- Develop executive-level status reporting, metrics, and program communications.
- Help identify and mature critical enabling technologies, including advanced packaging, cryogenic electronics, ion-trap integration, and next-generation semiconductor processes.
- Operate effectively in a dynamic R&D environment where program priorities and technical requirements evolve over time.
YOU MUST HAVE:
- Bachelor’s degree minimum
- Minimum 2 years’ experience managing complex technical programs involving external suppliers or development partners.
- Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status
WE VALUE:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Business, Supply Chain, Program Management, or a related technical field.
- At least 2 years experience managing complex technical programs involving external suppliers or development partners.
- Experience establishing and maintaining strategic supplier relationships.
- Direct experience working with semiconductor foundries, OSATs, or ASIC development partners.
- Demonstrated ability to track supplier execution, identify risks or schedule deviations, and drive corrective actions to closure.
- Ability to understand technical objectives and translate them into clear requirements, deliverables, and program plans.
- Exceptional organization, attention to detail, documentation discipline, and follow-through.
- Ability to operate independently in a rapidly evolving research and development environment.
- Willingness and ability to learn Quantinuum's technical goals involving foundry products, ASICs, advanced packaging, cryogenic electronics, and ion-trap technologies.
- Applicants for employment for this position must have work authorization that does not now or in the future require sponsorship of a visa for employment authorization in the United States.
- Experience coordinating contractual, legal, intellectual-property, procurement, and commercial matters with appropriate subject-matter experts.
- Experience managing semiconductor tape-outs, wafer fabrication, packaging, or qualification.
- Familiarity with PDKs, process nodes, mask sets, wafer lots, yield analysis, reliability testing, and semiconductor test flows.
- Experience with advanced packaging technologies including bump bonding, wafer-level packaging, interposers, TSVs, hybrid bonding, and 2.5D/3D integration.
- Experience supporting advanced R&D programs involving quantum-computing hardware, ion traps, cryogenic electronics, MEMS, photonics, or related technologies.
- Strong technical aptitude with the ability to quickly understand emerging semiconductor and quantum-computing technologies.
