About the Role
Rigetti Computing is seeking a hands-on, technically driven Senior Manager of Equipment to support our wafer fabrication facility in Fremont. In this role, you’ll ensure the reliability and safety of a complex R&D environment that includes many fabrication tools spanning high-vacuum deposition, lithography, etch, packaging and metrology areas.
You’ll oversee fab equipment operations and maintenance, manage hazardous materials and waste handling, and partner with facilities and EHS teams to maintain a safe, compliant, and high-performing environment. You will collaborate closely with fabrication engineers to understand tool requirements and with engineering operations to ensure alignment between process and infrastructure systems.
We’re looking for someone who is data-driven and approaches problems systematically. You understand how individual tools, facilities systems, and processes connect, and use maintenance data and metrics to anticipate issues before they arise. This is a highly technical, hands-on role suited for someone who thrives in the details - debugging complex systems, planning upgrades, and working cross-functionally to keep the Fab running at peak performance.
