Join Us at the Forefront of Quantum Computing Innovation 🚀 

At Quandela, we're scaling up the manufacturing of our semiconductor, photonic and quantum products, moving from advanced R&D and low-volume production toward structured, scalable industrial operations. We're looking for a hands-on, cross-functional engineer who combines manufacturing expertise, project leadership and digital transformation skills. You'll build a coherent, traceable industrial framework across Front-End and Back-End operations, and make sure our ERP/MES deployment is driven by real manufacturing needs, not by the IT systems themselves.  

Your Key Responsibilities

• Lead cross-functional industrialization projects across Front-End (semiconductor and photonic wafer/device manufacturing) and Back-End (packaging, optical, cryogenic, electronic, mechanical and system integration) 
• Structure projects with clear milestones, deliverables, responsibilities, risks and action plans, coordinating R&D, Engineering, Production, Quality, Methods, Supply Chain and IT 
• Manage the transfer of new products and processes from R&D to qualified production: assess manufacturing maturity, define industrialization plans and production-release criteria, and support pilot runs and ramp-up 
• Act as the Manufacturing lead for ERP and MES deployment, defining business requirements and workflows from a production perspective 
• Specify BOM/mBOM, routings, work centers, standard times, production orders and WIP management in the ERP 
• Define MES requirements for electronic travelers, Work Instructions, traceability, process and equipment data, test results, non-conformances and rework, and support configuration, UAT, key users and go-live 
• Ensure end-to-end consistency from PLM to ERP, MES and production equipment, so that digital tools serve manufacturing processes rather than dictate them 
• Lead PFMEA on critical processes, turn risks into Control Plans, support process and equipment qualification, and run Manufacturing Readiness Reviews before production release
