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
- Contribute to DFMEA with R&D to make sure manufacturability is built in from the design stage
- Define end-to-end manufacturing flows, traceability and product genealogy requirements, and structure manufacturing change management
- Identify industrialization gaps and bottlenecks, support capacity and equipment investment decisions, and ensure solutions are compatible with future volumes and automation
Requirements
- Engineering degree or Master's in Industrial, Manufacturing, Semiconductor or Systems Engineering, or a related field
- Minimum 6 years of experience in industrialization, manufacturing engineering or manufacturing systems
- Hands-on experience with PFMEA, Control Plans, qualification and manufacturing readiness
- Strong cross-functional project management, including leading teams without direct authority
- Solid understanding of ERP manufacturing processes and MES principles
- Good command of manufacturing flows, BOM/mBOM, routings, traceability and production data
- Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills
- Fluent in French and English
Nice to have
- Experience in semiconductor, photonic or high-tech manufacturing (cleanroom, wafer fab, Back-End integration)
- APQP, NPI or DfM/DfA methodologies
- Experience scaling low-volume, high-complexity production
Benefits
- Competitive salary, flexible based on your experience
- Profit-sharing & company savings plan
- 100% health coverage (Alan)
- 50% transport reimbursement or sustainable mobility bonus
- Meal vouchers (Swile), Gymlib fitness support
- Childcare assistance & referral bonuses (€1,000–€2,000)
What we offer:
- A meaningful role with real ownership, from day one
- A team eager to collaborate and grow with you
- A hybrid work model (3 days/week onsite in Massy, 1 day in Paris, 1 to 2 days remotely)
- Daily exposure to the entire quantum stack — from high-level APIs to low-level firmware, and everything in between.
