Lead Quality Control Inspector

We are seeking a Quality Control Inspector to help establish the quality function within Atom Computing’s growing manufacturing organization. In this role, you will be responsible for incoming inspection, material and workmanship conformance, nonconformance control, and measurement assurance for precision hardware used in our neutral-atom quantum computers. Working closely with Engineering, you will help develop inspection and release processes, resolve quality issues, and ensure hardware meets established requirements. Your experience and judgment will play an important role in building reliable quality practices as we scale our manufacturing operations.

• Perform incoming, first-article, in-process, and final inspections of optical, mechanical, vacuum, and electronic hardware against approved engineering drawings, specifications, and purchasing requirements.
• Inspect critical dimensions, optical surface condition, assembly workmanship, and supplier documentation using established acceptance criteria and precision measurement equipment.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing and Quality Engineering to implement and refine in-process inspection points for optical cleaning, bonding, precision assembly, and rework.
• Perform dimensional inspections using precision measurement equipment, including coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), and support the development and improvement of inspection methods.
• Maintain calibration and gauge records, verify equipment calibration status, and identify measurement limitations or concerns.
• Identify, document, and segregate nonconforming material; coordinate with Engineering on technical disposition and verify approved rework or corrective actions before release.
• Work with Supply Chain and Manufacturing Engineering to investigate supplier defects, address recurring production issues, and verify the implementation and effectiveness of corrective actions.
