Headquartered in College Park, Maryland, IonQ has operations in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Washington, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Our quantum computing services are available through all major cloud providers, while we also meet the needs of networking and sensing customers across land, sea, air, and space. IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before.

Location: This role will work onsite at our office located in Bothell, WA. Travel: Minimal Job ID: 1848

The Role:

This role bridges real-time production execution with near-term planning. The person in this role ensures work orders, transactions, and inventory data on the shop floor are accurate and timely, while also supporting production scheduling, capacity planning, and material availability for upcoming build cycles. It's a strong fit for someone who wants exposure to both the tactical (day-to-day floor execution) and strategic (planning/scheduling) sides of operations.

Responsibilities:

Work Order execution & lifecycle

- Track WOs through production status; own WO closure and de-issuance.
- Run the recurring (weekly) de-issuance triage cadence and keep the de-issuance rack within physical capacity

Material staging, kitting & point-of-use

- Execute kit pulls and physically stage material to the line
- Own kanban replenishment execution on the floor and point-of-use material management.
- Execute floor-level / one-off MOR material moves and manual adjustments, with the discipline to reduce the kanban/manual error rate flagged in the escalation.

Floor material service desk (internal customer)

- Serve as the single point of contact for "where's my part" so Test Engineers, Physicists, Engineers, and Techs stop pausing core work to chase material.
- Provide real-time material status to the floor and resolve or route floor material questions.
- Tactically expedite shorts that Planning has already identified and escalated.

WIP & physical inventory control on the floor

- Track WIP and maintain WIP accuracy across the line.
- Run point-of-use cycle counts and maintain inventory integrity between the warehouse and the floor.
- Identify and report physical/system discrepancies (a floor-level check that helps catch issues like premature -EXT migrations before deployment, even though the BOM fix itself is ME).

Escalation & cross-function interface

- Own the clear, documented escalation path for material-short WOs from the floor upward
- Feed real-time floor signals (consumption, shortages surfacing at build start) back to Planning so shortages stop being discovered too late.
- Interface with ME on the floor execution of engineering changes (DR/ECR/ECO), and with the warehouse on inbound/replenishment.

Coverage, documentation & continuous improvement

- Author and maintain SOPs for material execution on the floor (distinct from ME's process SOPs).
- Drive continuous improvement on floor material flow, rack space, and staging.

Requirements:

- 5+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, production control, or supply chain operations.
- Working knowledge of ERP/MRP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) — hands-on transaction experience preferred
- Comfort with Excel (pivot tables, lookups); exposure to Power BI/Tableau a plus
- Strong attention to detail and data accuracy mindset
- Ability to work cross-functionally with production, procurement, and quality teams
- Comfortable working in a high paced environment; warehouse and office setting

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience supporting regulated or high-value products
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Industrial Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- APICS/ASCM certification (CPIM) a plus, not required

The total compensation package includes base, bonus, equity, and a range of benefit options found on our career site. This role is non-exempt and eligible for overtime in accordance with company policies. The listed pay range below reflects the base hourly rate.

If this role has a commission structure, the compensation range below just reflects the base compensation range.

Hourly Wage Transparency $38.46—$57.69 USD

Compensation will vary based on individual factors such as education, qualifications, and experience of the final candidate(s), specific office location, and calibration against relevant market data and internal team equity. Posted base salary figures are subject to change as new market data becomes available. Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k), unlimited PTO and paid holidays, parental/adoption leave, legal insurance, and a home technology stipend. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided when a candidate receives an offer of employment.

At IonQ, we believe in fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers. We empower employees to thrive by fostering a culture of autonomy, productivity, and respect.

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.

US Non-Technical Jobs. Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. 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.
