About the role
Infleqtion is seeking a self-motivated, energetic Project Manager to help deliver an advanced quantum computing platform and coordinate our work across the Illinois quantum ecosystem. In this role, you will help connect technical plans, customer commitments, vendor activity, site readiness, and business priorities into one coordinated execution plan. You will contribute directly to Infleqtion’s private-public partnership with the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) and the National Quantum Algorithms Center (NQAC). This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of advanced technology, infrastructure, research, and customer delivery while helping a multidisciplinary team turn ambitious quantum programs into real operational progress. You do not need detailed knowledge of quantum computing to succeed in this role. You do need enough technical fluency to understand system-level dependencies, ask good questions, identify risks early, and communicate clearly with scientific, engineering, operations, vendor, and customer stakeholders. This role is a strong fit for a project leader who enjoys bringing structure to complex technical work, creating clarity across teams, and helping scientific and engineering programs move from planning through delivery, installation, commissioning, acceptance, and documentation.
What you'll bring
- Bachelor’s degree in physics, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Typically 4+ years managing technical, engineering, hardware, infrastructure, or complex R&D projects.
- Experience owning schedules, budgets, risks, and stakeholder communications.
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams.
- Ability to understand complex technical work well enough to identify dependencies, ask effective questions, and communicate project impacts.
- Strong written, verbal, organizational, and facilitation skills.
- Experience with project-management tools such as Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Project, or similar systems.
- Ability to travel periodically.
