About Us

QuantWare is the world's leading manufacturer of superconducting quantum hardware. As a hyper-growth scale-up with a global customer base, our mission is to accelerate the advent of the quantum computer. We push the boundaries of what's possible in our field. We work on making the world's largest quantum processors as fast as possible.

At QuantWare, we're not just producing quantum hardware for the hyperscalers of tomorrow; we're working on technology that will change the world. To make that ambition a reality, we need exceptional people who drive real impact. That's where you come in.

As Facility Scale-up Manager you'll play a crucial role in scaling up QuantWare's Manufacturing and Testing capacity: you'll lead the build-out and operation of next-gen labs, nanofabrication cleanrooms, and test facilities that power commercial quantum computing hardware production.

What you'll be doing

• Own new facility development end-to-end: budget, design, contractor and service vendor sourcing, delivery

• Lead site selection and evaluation working with external advisors and, where relevant, public authorities (e.g. industrial parks, incentives, subsidies, regulatory)

• Manage projects at high pace: on-time, in-spec, in-budget

• Set up an efficient facility operating model and scale a small internal team

• Run facility operations once live, ensuring:

  • Safe & compliant work environment

  • Reliable facility uptime & monitoring

  • Cost-conscious scaling and continuous improvement

• Over time, help define when and how to bring in a more operational steady-state site manager so you can focus on new build-outs

• Act with scale-up mindset: pragmatic, fast, autonomous, outcome-driven

• You've led the build-out of a complex lab, cleanroom, manufacturing site or deep-tech facility in a fast-growth environment

• Preference for candidates who have done multiple site build-outs or expansions - but we're equally excited about someone who built one high-impact facility that powered a major scale-up

• Experience setting up or expanding production/industrial facilities in multiple countries would be a strong asset for future global expansion

• Experience owning facility operations after launch (uptime, maintenance, vendor services, safety, compliance, stocking, monitoring)

• Know enough about safety, environment and regulations to deliver and operate compliant, safe and scalable sites

• Strong commercial instincts: negotiating with vendors and contractors, shaping budgets, driving delivery pragmatically

• Bonus: you've run or contributed to site-selection, bidding or incentive processes with governments or public agencies, not just commercial landlords

• Comfortable moving fast in a scale-up: ambiguity, risk-aware decisions, and hands-on ownership

• Technical enough to shape layouts and infrastructure - you don't need to be the cryo or nanofab expert
