Assembly, Integration and Test IPT Lead (QRF)

Infleqtion•Louisville, CO

9d•$131,000 - $210,000

About The Position

Infleqtion is seeking an Assembly, Integration and Test (AI&T) IPT Lead for its QRF portfolio. This role owns the integration and verification flow that turns components and subassemblies into hardware configurations ready for internal or external customer handoff. The lead will guide complex precision hardware through integration, environmental testing, anomaly resolution, and delivery, supporting both early prototypes and the development of repeatable, scalable products for internal and external programs and system sales. The role is hands-on in the integration and test environment and includes planning and coordinating builds, readiness gates, test execution, anomaly management, and delivery. The AI&T IPT Lead will work with engineering, physics/science, systems, quality, procurement, program controls, and other subsystem teams. Over time, the role will build and manage a diverse technical team. Travel may be required for customer meetings, supplier visits, integration activities, or test campaigns. Work is normally performed in an office, laboratory, production, and integration/test environment. The role may involve work around lasers, high-voltage equipment, vacuum hardware, precision mechanical assemblies, electronics, clean hardware, and test equipment. Required personal protective equipment will be provided and must be used in accordance with company requirements. Physical requirements should be reviewed and finalized by HR/Talent Acquisition for the specific posting. The stated salary range is $131,000–$210,000 per year. The position may require access to information protected under U.S. export control laws, including EAR and ITAR. Any offer may be conditioned on authorization to receive controlled software, hardware, or technology without sponsorship for an export license.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
At least 8 years of experience in assembly, integration, test, verification, production test, or systems test for complex hardware.
Aerospace hardware experience, including integration, verification, environmental test, and delivery of flight, flight-relevant, or similarly high-reliability hardware.
Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary integration/test teams through build, checkout, anomaly resolution, and delivery.
Experience writing or approving integration/test procedures, travelers, verification reports, readiness packages, and sell-off evidence.
Experience with environmental or system verification such as thermal/vacuum, vibration, electrical functional test, optical alignment/test, or interface test.
Strong working knowledge of configuration control, test discipline, safety, quality, nonconformance, and hardware handling.
Ability to communicate test status, blockers, risks, and recovery plans clearly to technical teams and program leadership.
Ability to obtain authorization to receive software, hardware, or technology controlled under U.S. export laws without sponsorship for an export license may be a condition of employment.

Nice To Haves

Experience with fast-paced programs where schedules cannot slip, and with complex hardware and hybrid hardware/software/firmware/gateware systems, field-deployed sensors, or other high-reliability programs with low tolerance for underperforming systems or program failure.
Experience with optical, laser/LIDAR, UHV, high-voltage, precision electromechanical, embedded electronics, or quantum/AMO laboratory systems.
Experience with TRR, ATP, environmental test campaigns, customer-witnessed testing, and formal delivery packages.
Experience building or managing GSE/MGSE/EGSE/OGSE readiness.
Experience supporting EVM, CAM status, IMS execution, or cost/schedule variance reporting.

Responsibilities

Own subsystem and full QRF system builds, from early prototypes toward repeatable and scalable products, for internal and external programs and system sales.
Serve as the hands-on QRF AI&T IPT lead for integration planning, build flow, readiness gates, test execution, anomaly management, and delivery coordination.
Build and manage a diverse technical team over time, including project, manufacturing, systems, quality, and test engineers.
Interface with engineering and physics/science teams on test procedures, manufacturing methods, quality, and validation artifacts.
Own the AI&T plan, integration sequence, test-readiness criteria, facility and equipment needs, and subsystem handoff criteria from planning through system delivery.
Coordinate daily and weekly execution across subsystem IPTs, systems engineering, quality, procurement, and program controls.
Develop and maintain integration and test procedures, travelers, configuration records, test data packages, and customer acceptance evidence.
Plan and execute applicable functional, interface, environmental, optical, vacuum, electrical, and system-level verification activities.
Lead TRR-style reviews, readiness reviews, failure and anomaly investigations, and recovery planning.
Ensure integration and test activities comply with laser safety, high-voltage, vacuum, cleanliness, handling, ESD, and facility constraints.
Drive readiness for facilities, instrumentation, shipping, handling, and safety inputs.
Track AI&T schedule, resource needs, open issues and closure plans, risks, and EAC/ETC impacts for program reporting.
